In 2003, Senna Guemmour auditioned for the television show Popstars – Das Duell but was eliminated during the callback. In 2006 she auditioned yet another time, this time for Popstars – Neue Engel braucht das Land where she made it throughout the entire competition and became a member of the girl group Monrose. Monrose turned out to be very popular reaching two number-one hits on the German Singles Charts ("Shame" and "Hot Summer") and landing six top-ten hits as of mid-2008.
