Celina was born in Atlanta, Georgia on May 12, 2009 to Paris and David Smith. She has two older sisters. Celina's spunky personality and her desire to sing and entertain at a very young age prompted her parents to enroll her in a Triple Threat Training program at AGI Entertainment in Atlanta.  Through her intensive training in voice, stage, and on-camera, Celina was signed with AGI Management and then signed with JPervis Talent Agency where she immediately landed her first commercial and a Voice-Over Campaign through iHeart Radio. Shortly thereafter, she auditioned and was cast as Young Nala in DISNEY'S THE LION KING Broadway National Tour. But Celina’s big break was yet to come when she auditioned for Tyler Perry in the new series, YOUNG DYLAN, where she landed the role of Rebecca Wilson. She is excited to return to season 2 of YOUNG DYLAN to work with the amazing cast and crew to bring the show to life! In addition to her acting, Celina performs to crowds evoking standing ovations.
