Rising Stars: Meet Jordan Serpentini aka Stella Lumina

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Serpentini aka Stella Lumina.

Hi Jordan, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?

The story of me began to pop when a skateboard first rolled through my path. At the young age of seven I fell in love with the its freedoms, where every fall brought a laugh. I kicked and pushed and kicked and pushed, always the only girl at the park. From sun up to sun down you’d catch me skating, even way after dark. After many years of shredding, I was finally getting good. Getting in tune with the rhythm of life, l felt like anything was possible. I could. At the age of 21 MY LOCAL SHOP TURNED ME PRO. A whole new avenue I didn’t expect to flow. Life, she took me like a feather, without digging in my heals, I let her. So I traveled the world with a board as my sword, fighting my way to make life my play. With nothing but clothes, hopes and some wood with four wheels. I became a part of a crew who never judged your ideals. Skateboarding, Its acceptance was transcendent of any race, religion, or sex appeals. If you had a board, your were family, I said “finally, real homies that would stand by me”.

Success took its course, I was blessed without remorse. My dad paved the way and my mom stayed and prayed. That I’d be out of harm’s way, but I was such a cannonball I was born for some downfall. I told them I’d die young, somehow I just knew. After I met a certain soul, this feeling exponentially grew. In love with somebody who didn’t even care. I was resisting hard and had feelings of despair. I wasn’t letting myself admit it, my brain was stubborn and wouldn’t quit it. Determined to change their mind, I was missing all of Spirit’s signs. I won competitions and hearts abroad, but inside, it was all a facade. I wasn’t living my truth, and I wasn’t feeling fulfilled. Not even the sport I loved all my life could fix this ill. I turned to drinking, my ship started sinking, and in a bang eventually everything went black. I fell.

Slip. Boom. Crash. I guess I didn’t land that? I was taken to the hospital room in a flash. With twelve staples in my head and a brain injury to boot, and only one piece of advice from the doctor for pursuit. You need 10 days of stillness, your brain needs to heal. No phone, no music, no screens, no talking, man this ish just got real. I was faced with the worst case in my mind, 23 years of pain I finally had to feel. So a few days went by and one morning spirit opened my eyes. I felt something cold in my palm, an ice cube my mind’s eye saw. In a moment it melted and in my hand was a puddle. Symbolizing that everything changes, a new path for my life was emerging.

Within the puddle was a guitar pick. This vision was a wise message laced with divine precision. If rejection is the redirection of protection, then I was being rejected to receive some angelic affection. Guiding me into more, spirit was teaching me to soar.

I knew that this was my new path of deeper fulfillment, I knew that music would change everything for me and give me that fresh start I was secretly calling out for. I believe life always plays in the favor of your growth, so this was me learning to let go. Within those ten days I heard the silent voice from within. It told me that I’ve been asking for change, and this was it. All I had to do was follow my intuition and never quit. Easier said than done but hey, it’s just crazy enough to work. I never played for others, only in my room by myself, so this would be a test of faith above all else. Stepping away from skateboarding would be hard, but the stage was calling, I felt it in my heart. So I dove in with two feet, hitting open mic nights and jamming everyday. Spirit was right, this changed my whole work into play. I loved music, and bringing a good vibe. What started with just a guitar is now a live looping show, where I build a song in-front of your eyes as a part of the flow. I am a multi-instrumentalist, freestyle vocalist but a healer at heart. Low dosing y’all with baselines that move out the dark from your heart. I’m in the business of inspiring, making high vibe music and art. I’ve since traveled the world with these songs of hope and healing, hyped that they make people dance, and thrilled to see where it all takes me.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been elevated in every sense of the word. I had more confidence than skill at the beginning because I knew the process. Just like skateboarding, you had to do the trick you wanted to land a million times before landing it. See yourself in your mind like it’s a done deal and that you’ve rode away smoothly to help manifest it. Along the way is trial and error. Where you find out all the ways not to land it, and then one day it clicks! A test of persistence and focus can bring to life any aspiration. So I knew it was a matter of time before I really got good at playing music and the testing art of live looping. Taking this perspective definitely helped me stay more unattached to the “unsmooth” parts of the journey because I felt they were only temporary. Of course every path is going to have its bumps, but looking at them as fruitful, like arrows pointing the way will help you refine your craft better. Transform “shitty” happenings into things that are actually working in your favor.

Following the path of least resistance, everyone thinks this is the easiest route. It’s not. Metaphorically, it takes you to the biggest weeds in your mind’s garden first. I played with musicians that were better than me and always followed the intuitive calling. This really sent me to obstacles that needed to be worked through in order to be smooth. At the beginning, I didn’t really know key or pitch, I was on a mission to fill the world with more love no matter what it took. This kind of drive will really be supported by the higher realms because its got everybody’s best interests in mind. I’m not here to make a name for myself or to put me on a pedestal of any kind. I’m more here to remind people to pedestal that connection within themselves to the most high, no matter what they label that as. Egoless service always ascends any path faster than normal, so I never felt short of opportunity. The main thing was not expecting too much from myself. As artists we tend to be our own biggest critics. I’m just learning to enjoy the journey as best as I can. Cherish the now and revel in awe of each step of this magical musical medicine journey that feels like it has found me! Hence the song I wrote called Magic Carpet Ride.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My name is originally Jordan Serpentini, but my music name is Stella Lumina. It means activated star, which I believe we aIl are. I am a Creative Artivist, that’s an activist that uses their art to speak up and add more color to the world. To help this place heal and bring to life a more balanced world for our kids to come is my ultimate blessing I can pass along. I have a lot of artistic gifts I’m known for already. Being a jack of all trades is the result of taking the mindset of “I already killed it” and applying it to completely different genres of life. Like a science experiment, my life is for others to see that living in love makes anything possible. Anything. From a touring musician, 3D muralist, podcast host of “All The Love and Then Some”. To a Reiki Master Healer, professional female skateboarder, interior designer, tattoo artist and come December 2023 an author, my real art is flow.

I love creating inspiring experiences for people. Painting the pictures of a more loving world that others can tap into, or being the change you want to see is my vibe. I like giving people options far beyond what the narrative feeds us. I call it being a Wayshower. Liberating yourself from caring how others perceive you is the golden rule. Create like no one is watching, and allowing the flow of creativity to guide your way is the blueprint. Basically I create loving experiences that take people’s breath away. I like to specialize in things that have never been done before. So an example of this would be a music video for my music that combines all of these things. Where I’m singing with the backdrop of bringing to life a mural with a touch of skateboarding in there too. Examples of this are “Magic Carpet Ride”, “Road Trip to Nowhere” and “A Strippers Perspective” all on YouTube. I also am huge into healing. I vibe high when I lead guided meditations or do reiki healings. As of late I have been doing reiki healing sessions for celebrities. This is something I never saw for myself but apparently spirit did, and came up out of nowhere it feels like. My favorite question to pose to myself and the world is this….

How much change can one person make in the world?

My answer is as much change as you deem yourself worthy of making.

I intentionally choose to not set a ceiling for myself. I ask spirit to show me how much change I can add to the world. I feel this is necessary because my eyes can only see so much for myself through the trauma I have endured in my life. Maybe I think I can only create this much change, but spirit things I can do exponentially more. So my philosophy is to step out of my own way and let this divine intelligence show me, one present moment at a time, weaving together the answer. My entire life will be the masterpiece to leave behind for others to draw inspiration from. It has mainly guided me to go inwards to create change outwards of myself in response. Funny enough, because we are all connected like roots of a tree, me focusing on healing myself creates the ripple to heal the world. That’s a true superhero in my opinion, someone who lives by example and lets go of the concept of blaming others for their own life pitfalls. This whole reality is a mirror. So we level up how we view ourselves to see our atmosphere reflect that new found love through new opportunities crossing our paths and manifested dreams.

Living in the moment and allowing the creative fire to take me, with full faith that my spoken intentions are being brought to life just by following the subtle intuitive calls of life is my only focus. I have manifested the life of my dreams. This took a ton of self reflection, healing the parts of myself that doubted my worthiness to be a successful creative inspiration on the planet. Holding the vision like a spider building a web that defied gravity! I simply kept trucking. I am most proud of my ability to begin a new ladder of life without fear of failure or harsh judgement towards myself. No one starts out a master at anything except for maybe a baby who is simply being with no big expectations for themselves. Humbly starting over on a new chapter of my life or new genre of my career transitioning from skateboarding to murals took a lot of faith, but showed others to never stop seeking self expansion. After painting 30+ murals across the country to beginning a new ladder again with music took even more faith. Now I have been touring with music and am most well recognized for my healing presence. It’s hard to define. More of a feeling people get when we share space. I really love this world and my brothers and sisters of the human race. I feel like that’s what they can feel that’s so special about me. It’s my pure intention to brighten this world up is why they feel comfortable around me even if they have just met me for the first time.

So hear me out, loud and clear, I speak these words without fear.

I intend to create a mass movement of kindness on the planet. Step by step, following intuition moment by moment, the only thing we have is change. So let’s own it. 

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
Every single person I have met along the way deserves a thanks as they helped mold me into who I am today. Lifting me up, it takes 100 people to learn to fly. Then it’s your duty to give back and show others the same once you’re up in the sky. Of course my parents and family have been huge for me, supportive both spiritually and physically. Beyond that I’d also like to thank all of my soul family I’ve met along the way. They really reminded me that your vibe attracts your tribe, and to never stop expanding the love within myself. This way I’d keep meeting incredibly loving souls along the way. Y’all kept my fire aflame. As well as every testing force I’ve ever been met with the biggest thanks goes to you. The people that projected their traumas of doubt onto me through being rude or mean have all helped me stay unattached during this waking dream. You see if you’re really doing good, I believe you get both sides of duality. The people that love what you do and the hate from the people that you trigger. It’s an honor to trigger people’s darkness so they can know where their focus needs to go to become more light. If you don’t like something about me, then it says you really don’t like something about yourself.

Turning up your own heart’s light for the world will attract attention from darkness that you’ve awakened. So it’s good to get both sides of the coin. I appreciate those that test me to stay in my light no matter what, you’re only helping me become more equanimous like Buddha. Beyond that, a large part of my success has been connecting with the god of my heart. A relentless force of truth and clarity that has kept me safe. I traveled the country by myself as a female for the past 3 years in a van. Never once in danger just because I prayed for protection and always followed my gut feelings. That all knowing intelligence from the higher intelligence that guides the world in the unseen has been a comrade, guide and incredible support to me on this journey of self activation and more fulfilled living.
