Serene SBS
Serene SBS was an online alias Onision used between 2022 and 2023 when undertaking various projects.
Photography
It seems Onision began using the name Serene SBS in relation to a photography business he started in 2022. He uploaded many photos to various stock image websites and used the website Serene.sbs to promote his photography. The website also featured videos he recorded of products and provided links to these products on Amazon. The links most likely were affiliate links, so he would earn a commission from Amazon if someone purchased products through these links.

There was a button on the site to book sessions, but it is unclear what this was exactly for. The website also links to a Serene SBS forum, blog, music, and Instagram page. None of these were archived.
Some of the photographs sold by Greg on the various stock image sites were licensed to news articles and instructional pages. These sites credit the images as "Serene SBS/Getty Images". (Example)
Tech Blog
In 2023, it seems Onision rebranded the Serene SBS website to be a site focused on articles about technology and video games. Many of the articles on the Serene.SBS Blog were extremely long and seemed to be generated by an AI chat bot. The site no longer featured a forum, music, or photography services. It now included a link to a Serene SBS Twitter account. (Source)

Music
In 2023, Onision began using the name Serene.SBS to start a music project. He described Serene SBS as, "new electronic music from a band started in 2023." (Source) The music was uploaded to various music streaming platforms. Onision also started a short form comedy video series on various social media like Twitter and TikTok. These were clips from existing cartoons with text at the top written by Onision. (Source)
End
It seems Onision ceased activities under the name Serene SBS sometime in 2023. He removed all music from the streaming platforms and stopped updating the blog. In 2024, he used some of the clips credited with Serene.SBS on one of his Onision TikTok accounts. This is what ultimately linked his Onision persona to Serene SBS. (Source)
Onision's Serene SBS photography is still available to purchase/license on various websites.
In 2024, a song titled, "Just the Way You Are" was uploaded to some of the Serene SBS music streaming profiles. (Source) Like most of the music he had made around this time, the album art was an AI generated image.
