Dr. Serruria Leung Ka-yan (Chinese: 梁嘉茵; born 13 August 1990), better known by her stage name Serrini, is a Hong Kong independent songwriter-singer who started her singing career in 2012. In recent years, her songs mostly relate to current affairs and romantic relationships among young people.^[1]^[2]

Serrini graduated from Chinese University of Hong Kong with a bachelor's degree in English and studied at a Master of Arts program at the University of Hong Kong.^[3] She received a Doctor of Philosophy (Literary and Cultural Studies) degree from the University of Hong Kong.^[4] The South China Morning Post's Henry Lau said that Serrini "has a strong connection with her audience, owing to her unique and fun lyrics covering a wide range of themes, from love to current affairs, through refreshing and catchy tunes".^[4]

In January 2022, local media reported that ten Canto-pop singers and groups had been put on a blacklist of government-funded broadcaster RTHK, with radio DJs having been ordered not to play their songs. Serrini was reportedly on the list.^[5]
