October 23, 2017Absolutely Made The Event!!
Arsena was absolutely amazing. She was responsive to each and every message I sent her prior to my event. It was an engagement so I’m sure I was overly anxious and full of questions. Arsena met with me prior to the proposal and saw my vision and she was as supportive and excited as I needed everyone involved to be. On second thought she was the only person on time, lol. After I requested a time change due to everyone else being late, she was flexible and reasonable and worked with me to make the timing fit perfectly. Her performance was exactly what I needed to make my then girlfriend, now fiancé, say yes. My fiancé broke down in tears in reaction to the first song performed by Arsena and followed it with a solo applaud. Little did she know, it only got better! Arsena followed my directions to a T. Her performance amazing and that’s an understatement. If you were on the fence about whether to book her or not, take the advice of a man who needed an angelic voice and fingers of a seasoned guitarist to turn his “maybe” thoughts into tears, applauds, and a definitely emotional YES!
Hired as: R&B Vocalist, Singer/Songwriter, Singing Guitarist, Soul Singer

August 28, 2017WOW #
Arsena. We had used her for rhe cocktail hour before my daughters reception and we walked into the venue and you heard a soulful voice that was rich in sound and feelings . She played a wide range of songs with her soulful twist. I am,still telling everyone about her . I would hire her again but she may not be available for long because I have a feeling she is going to make it big !

May 21, 2017Simply Awesome!
Arsena's performance was outstanding. From the beginning she was professional and responsive. Her talent is amazing - unique vocals, artistry, original scores, covers, talented guitarist and pianist. All guests commented on her sound and loved her music. Thanks Arsena for making our backyard feel like a resort in the islands. Your music helped set the stage for a great birthday party. You're simply amazing. I highly recommend you for other personal and corporate outings.

About
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”—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. (link hidden)
