ARSENA (formerly Arsena Schroeder) is an alternative R&B, pop, and soul-influenced singer-songwriter celebrated for her heartfelt melodies and multi-instrumental artistry. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, and raised in Charlotte, NC, ARSENA’s musical roots run deep. 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 legends like Monica but also influenced ARSENA’s artistic evolution.

As an independent artist, ARSENA has toured internationally, earned an endorsement from Breedlove Guitars, and received a standing ovation from Michael Jordan.
