Arsena is an alternative R&B, acoustic, and jazz influenced recording artist and singer-songwriter. Born in Pittsburgh, PA and raised in Charlotte, NC, she’s known for her star-quality and heart felt tunes—-think India Arie meets Norah Jones with introspective lyrics infusing her multi-instrumentalist capabilities.
Over the years she’s released a number of records and accomplished much as an independent talent. This list includes touring nationally and internationally, an endorsement with Breedlove Guitars, & winning over hearts with a standing ovation from Michael Jordan at what’s now known as the Spectrum Arena. Today, Arsena is a Berklee College of Music - (BerkleeOnline) Graduate Student pursuing her M.A. in Interdisciplinary Music Studies (concentrating in music business, music production, & songwriting) while still regularly performing, recording, and advocating for independent music artists.
In 2017, she founded Dear Soul Music Co, an award-winning arts and entertainment company that provides community programming and resources for independent artists. Since its start, Arsena has serviced countless music artists in songwriting, branding, music production, youth recording arts camps, mentorship, and beginner guitar workshops for adults. Her 3rd full-length album called Metamorphosis: The Evolution of Arsena produced by the Stellar-award winning, Curt Keyz, released in May 2023 followed by the single, "Santa Can You" from the Holiday Harmonies EP featured on the WCCB TV - The Charlotte's CW in December of 2023.
