Serenity, at just 14 years old, auditioned for Season 21 but didn't get any chairs to turn. The coaches gave her feedback to practice more and grow as a vocalist. She was involved in musical theater, which Ariana appreciated and believed was a great place for vocal growth. After her audition, Serenity focused on finding her voice and taking weekly vocal lessons. She booked small gigs at local events to gain exposure and practice her skills. She now works at a local boba café to cover expenses and recently got her driver's license. Dance remains an important part of her life and she participates in a few dance teams, practicing multiple times a week.
