Born and raised in Queens, New York, Serena is more than just a singer—she's an artist with a voice that can command a room and a presence that can light up any stage. Serena is poised to become one of the most influential voices in contemporary R&B and Pop. Her journey, rooted in a deep musical heritage and honed at the prestigious Frank Sinatra School of the Arts, is a testament to her relentless passion and her determination to break boundaries in an industry that often rewards conformity. Serena’s story begins with a rich musical legacy that has shaped every facet of her artistry. In her Queens home, music was not just a pastime but a way of life. Her grandmother, a former opera singer with a voice that could rival the greats, now sings in the church choir, imparting her love of music to a young Serena. Her father, a skilled pianist and vocalist, filled their home with melodies that would become the soundtrack of Serena’s childhood. This deep connection to music was further enriched by her cousins, who played instruments like the violin and piano. Attending the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts allowed Serena to channel this inherited talent into a focused passion. It was here that she honed her skills, learning not just the technical aspects of music but also how to convey emotion and connect with an audience. This formal training, combined with her familial influence, forged Serena into the artist she is today—a performer who embodies the soul of her music.
