Sarah L. Buras (born September 16, 1976) professionally known as Sera Buras and Serabee, is an American singer-songwriter. She has released four studio albums and is signed to the Universal Republic label.
In 2005, Buras wrote the hit song "Crazy Chick", which she considers autobiographical.
In her backstage video interview at NBC's The Voice, she told viewers that she wrote the song in Mississippi on the way to Walmart. Just a few months later, the song was recorded by singer Charlotte Church. It became a hit on the UK Singles Chart, reaching #2 on the UK Singles Top 75. The song ranked 40th on the 2005 UK Year End Singles Chart.
In 2011, Buras became a contestant on the U.S. reality talent show The Voice, which airs on the NBC television network. The premise of the show includes pairing up widely undiscovered vocalists with highly successful recording artists, who serve as vocal coaches and mentors. Serabee was selected as a member of country singer, Blake Shelton's team, assisted by award-winning singer, Reba McEntire.
Buras was born on September 16, 1976 in Kiln, Mississippi, 45 minutes east of New Orleans. She is the youngest of five children born to Roland "R.J." and Charlotte Buras, who met each other in the 1960s, playing the clubs in New Orleans.
Buras' family has had deep roots in Louisiana since the 1840s, when her 5th great grandfather, Sebastian Burat arrived from France. An hour from New Orleans, a small town called Buras, was named to identify the original Quartiers des Burats, the Burat Settlement, anchored on the property of Sebastian Burat. The surname and town name was later anglicized to Buras.
