ARSENA (formerly Arsena Schroeder) is an alternative R&B and soul-influenced singer-songwriter known for her heartfelt melodies and multi-instrumental artistry. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, and raised in Charlotte, NC, music runs in her DNA. Her father, the visionary producer behind “Dance to the Drummers Beat (1978)”—sampled by icons like Michael Jackson and N.W.A.—not only shaped R&B stars like Monica but also played a key role in ARSENA’s artistic evolution. As an independent artist, ARSENA has toured internationally, earned an endorsement with Breedlove Guitars, and received a standing ovation from Michael Jordan. Her third album, Metamorphosis: The Evolution of Arsena (2023), showcases her signature introspection, followed by her holiday single Santa Can You, which was featured on WCCB TV.
