Early life and education
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 songwriting,[8] she started writing poems and lyrics for her songs.[12] Subsequently, she adopted the name DEVYN+RO$E as her stage name.[9]

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]
