BIOGRAPHY
Serene Hall is a bold and expressive young artist born in 2007 in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. From an early age, she stood out—outspoken, curious, and unafraid to live authentically. According to her grandmother, Serene’s musical gift became evident when she was just three years old. After gifting her brother an African drum, her grandmother was stunned to see Serene play it instinctively and rhythmically—an early sign of the creative force she would become. Since then, Serene has immersed herself in singing, performing in church choirs and community programs like the Boys and Girls Club, and even taking piano lessons, which she hopes to return to in the near future.
Poetry quickly became a cornerstone of Serene’s identity. In school, she gravitated toward books of poems, drawn to their rhythm and emotion. Poetry gave her a peaceful outlet and ignited her imagination. Surrounded by peers who would freestyle and make beats on tables, Serene developed a passion for music as a way to process thoughts and connect with others.
In the summer of 2022, Serene wrote her first song at a sleepover with friends. Although the track was never completed, the experience opened a creative floodgate. Encouraged by her younger sister, she began attending Mobile Jazz workshops at the Frogtown Rec Center. There, inspired by a beat created by other youth, she found herself compelled to write page after page of lyrics. That moment led to her first recorded song and several others, sparking a deeper commitment to music and storytelling.
During her freshman year of high school, Serene transferred from Central High School to Career Pathways, an alternative arts-focused school where she found a vibrant, supportive community of fellow creatives. There, she was inspired by artist and educator Miles McFarlane, who challenged her to explore deeper layers of musicality and creativity while refining her practice.
Though Serene writes constantly, her work has remained largely private. Only a handful of people have ever heard her lyrics—a fact she’s now ready to change. She believes that if she doesn’t share her voice now, then when? Fueled by ambition, authenticity, and vision, Serene is ready to grow as a writer, poet, and performer—and to share her stories with the world.
