Described by many as the musical director of Bounty Killer’s “Alliance” talent pool, Serani also crafted the lead phrase on Sean Paul's Billboard smash, "We Be Burning," as well as on singles such as Tony Matterhorn's anthemic "Dutty Wine," Busy Signal's "These Are the Days," Bugle's breakout hit "Exercise," Elephant Man's "Willie Bounce," and Mavado's international hit "Dying," the first track on which he also featured as an Artiste; It is Serani's voice bawling "Dying" throughout the song, which earned him attention for his vocals, instead of his dexterity as a composer. He also appeared alongside Mavado in the acclaimed vid
Also instrumental in the careers of Mavado, Alaine and Bugle, Serani continually demonstrates his passion for nurturing young artists. That passion and energy is now being channeled into launching his own solo career as a singer.
Current Dancehall bubbler "Don't!" features Serani and his protege Bugle, and is getting huge response in Dancehalls across Jamaica It is already one of the biggest tracks in Kingston - the Dancehall capitol of the world. Ace video director Julia Braham is set to get behind the lens and shoot the video for "Don't" very soon. The track, of course, is produced by Serani.
Serani is now busy constructing his debut album, focusing on the raunchy "She Loves Me" as the next single which Serani is hoping will blow up internationally. "It’s a fun track," says Serani. "A topic everyone can relate to. We have a clean version and a very, very raw version, we will leave it to the public to decide which one they prefer!"

Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin'.
Fly's in the buttermilk
Shoo fly shoo
Fly's in the buttermilk
Fly's in the buttermilk
Shoo fly shoo
Skip to my Lou my darlin'.
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin'.
Cows in the cornfield
What'll I do?
Cows in the cornfield
What'll I do?
Cows in the cornfield
What'll I do?
Skip to my Lou my darlin'.
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin'.
There's a little red wagon
Paint it blue
There's a little red wagon
Paint it blue
There's a little red wagon
Paint it blue
Skip to my Lou my darlin'.
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou
Skip skip skip to my Lou

Serani's song "Skip To Ma Luu" is a modern twist on the traditional American folk song titled "Skip to My Lou". The song is about skipping and having fun while singing along to the chorus "skip to my Lou my darlin'". The verses in the song feature different scenarios where something unexpected happens, but the solution to the problem is to skip to the next destination. For example, when a fly lands in the buttermilk, the solution is to "shoo" it away and continue skipping to the next stop. Similarly, when cows are grazing in the cornfield and there's a little red wagon that needs painting, the solution remains the same: skip to the next destination.
On a deeper level, the song can be interpreted as an allegory for dealing with unexpected challenges in life. When things go wrong, the solution may not always be clear, but it is important to keep moving forward and find ways to overcome the obstacles. Skipping along to the rhythm of the song represents enjoying life and having fun, while also facing the challenges that come our way.
