Full biography
Craig Serani Marsh, known professionally as Serani, is a Jamaican singer working across reggae and dancehall. Before launching his solo career, he was one-third of the Daseca production trio, whose work helped shape the sound of mid-2000s dancehall production.
Serani contributed to Sean Paul's album The Trinity, and in 2008 released his breakout solo single "No Games," which peaked at number 53 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and earned a UK Platinum certification. The song has accumulated more than 107 million streams on Spotify and was sampled by Eminem on his 2020 album Music to Be Murdered By, extending its reach to a new generation of listeners decades after release.
