Another Way
Van is adamant to make music that means something, songs that have a strong message with a catchy chorus. His music can be best described as urban roots, with a funky, mainstream pop sensibility, a kind of acoustic storytelling with a groove. He mentions Babyface, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, Bobby McFerrin, Stevie Ray Vaughn & Prince as strong influences. Currently he enjoys Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Ani De Franco, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews Band & Jamiroquai among others. Van Sereno likes to be known as a songwriter first and foremost. He's worked as session guitarist and vocalist on numerous projects, both covers and originals (In Full Swing, Evail, Afrofunk, Jacuzi, The Pop Experience, The Smooth Groove). He's supported Australian acts such as Christine Anu, Marcia Hines, Richard Clapton, Vanessa Amarosi, Diesel and even US blues legend John Hammond, UK soul artist Andrew Roachford and US RnB artist John Legend in the past.
