Early life

Devyn Rose's parents are from Haiti, but her early years were at Mount Vernon, New York.[6] Her friends called her T6, because of her athletic physique.[7] In an interview with Entrique Magazine, she claimed the name "Tanya T6" was given to her by Dame Grease.[8] Rose mentioned she had a "strict upbringing" with little exposure to music.[8][9] She discovered her interest in singing while performing (singing and dancing) in front of her siblings. At school, she was a part of her school choir.[10] She moved to New York City when she was 16 and studied dancing at the Broadway Dance Center, New York.[11] While she had no formal training in song writing,[8] she started writing poems and lyrics for her songs.[12] Subsequently, she adopted the name DEVYN+RO$E as her stage name.[9]

Career

In 2008, Rose released her first mixtape, Move Over Paris Hilton, There's a New It Girl in Town. Her subsequent single titled "Get It Off" was featured across national and international radio channels.[2] In 2008, she made an EP titled I am...D.E.V.Y.N.[13] In March 2013, Maura Johnston described Rose's song "Who Am I" as "it's a hard listen at first, its swirling elements coming together in that odd way, but its charms eventually took me over."[14] The May 2013 issue of HipHopLead.com reviewed Devyn Rose's work and commented that her songs were "a testimony of her struggle and her accomplishments [while] she sings within her range and makes it work to a tee."[15]

Her song "Falling 4 U" peaked at No. 2 on the Indie Rotation charts in the first week of March 2014.[16] In the week ending December 13, 2014, "Falling 4 U" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Biz Hot Singles Sales Chart.[3] In February 2015 the song "Cops x The Jury", produced by Dame Grease, was released digitally.[17]

The singles "Cops x The Jury" and "Falling 4 U" were also included on the five-track Stellar EP, released in July 2015.[4][18] In 2016 she released the single "Robothot" produced by Lexi Banks.
