DESTENEE

An incredibly gifted pianist, vocalist, songwriter and producer, Destenee’s talent and ambition were ultimately too powerful for the young artist to stay in the small town of Winchester Massachusetts, and since moving to Los Angeles, she has learned to appreciate and value her diverse roots. Alternately weaving joy and pain, hope and love into her ingenious compositions, the 18 year old crafts an exceptional journey that is ultimately unraveled in her highly anticipated debut album “Destination”. Her powerful and sultry voice and her amazing piano performance are truly outstanding on her popular singles “I Love You”, “Galaxy Baby”, and “I Need to Know” featuring Poc Dawone.

“My music has elements from various genres,” she says. “I have been playing classical piano since I was five and I enjoyed creating my own versions of anything from Mozart, Beethoven, Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong. I also love Jazz and the Latin sounds of Salsa. I love to use my computer but my music is organic… I use live instruments in all my songs!”

Talented at a level that belies her age, Destenee has had the opportunity to work along the sides of industry heavy hitters such as the legendary George “Funky” Brown from Kool and the Gang, and Sterling Davis, acclaimed songwriters Luigie Gonzalez, Margo Thunder, Nasri Atweh, Sandy Joyce, and Tonie Goldsmith, up and coming producers I.C.U, Choice, and Switch Hitters, and Mega producers DaRock, and Lil Steve from the Underdogs.

A natural in the recording studio, Destenee has the rare ability to produce her own vocals and record her own backgrounds while producing, composing, arranging, and playing her own instruments over self made tracks. Self-taught only on her home computer, she has worked herself up from FL Studio to Cubasis, and is now mastering Reasons and Pro- Tools. Destenee also attended the prestigious Musicians Institute in Hollywood CA, where she was able to polish her instinctive engineering and music production abilities.

Destenee’s multifaceted lifestyle has also exposed her to a variety of other opportunities. She has been featured in print ads, television commercials, and she was principal on the popular television children’s series: “Concert in Angel Land.” One of her latest appearances was as a special guest on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. Under the tutelage of John Homa, Destenee’s acting skills have landed her a role on the up and coming film “We are Family” directed by James “Choice” Skinner.

Destenee’s exquisite dancing abilities, when creatively combined with her choreographed show, rivals the best in the business. And her full band has been touring with the acclaimed S.E.A.P. and “The School Tour”, enchanting middle school and high school audiences throughout the United States with a high powered dance show. Destenee’s upcoming European tour will set the standard for the Superstar status that awaits her!

Destenee is making history by reinventing how music is made. She does not hesitate in combining sounds, genres, and live music is her passion! Destenee is now ready to share her fresh new and exciting style; her journey is her Destination…
