Devyn Rose's parents are from Haiti, but her early years were at Mount Vernon, New York.[7] Her friends called her T6, because of her athletic physique.[8] In an interview with Entrique Magazine, she claimed the name "Tanya T6" was given to her by Dame Grease.[9] Rose mentioned she had a "strict upbringing" with little exposure to music.[9][10] 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.[11] She moved to New York City when she was 16 and studied dancing at the Broadway Dance Center, New York.[12] While she had no formal training in song writing,[9] she started writing poems and lyrics for her songs.[13] Subsequently, she adopted the name DEVYN+RO$E as her stage name.[10]

In June 2013, her song "Want it all" was featured on the playlist of radio anchor Nsico Michaels' show on 19jaRadio.[18] Her song "Falling 4 U", was written by Rose 'based on a feeling that I once had and want to feel again'.[11] A video directed by Pete Polyakov, got featured on radio and online.[19] Her song "Falling 4 U" peaked at No. 2 on the Indie Rotation charts in the first week of March 2014.[20] For the week ending December 13, 2014, Rose's song "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.[21] In June of the same year, three remixes of "Falling 4 U" by Zed Bias, Mob Tactics and Otic appeared.[22]
