Were you a slow transitioner or a Big Chopper & why? (tell us your natural hair journey)
My journey is actually unique. I had a sew-in for about a year and a half and every time I got it redone, I was surprised about the texture of my hair. I fell in love with the wave. So one night I was taking my sew-in out I told my beautician just cut the perm out!

Had you always embraced your texture? 
I love the texture of my hair. It’s different. I prefer my hair a little shorter because It gets more curly then wavy which I love!

How did family and friends react to your decision to go natural? How did they react to the new you? What was your response to them? 
 My family is very supportive. They know I stress individuality so it was only fitting that my hair expressed my authentic self. Of course I hear the “why don’t you just perm it” from my mom from time to time, but I smile.

Describe your hair (fine or coarse, thin or thick, highly porous, low, etc.) 
My hair is very think and wavy. I got scared that my texture would change when I started using color but it didn’t. So I can play in with color!

What’s your current hair routine? How often do you wash, condition, and style? favorite products! Deets! 
I am such a tomboy. Being natural is the easiest thing for me in the morning. I wash my hair every morning. It’s the only time I can comb it! I use Pantene ProV for color treated hair and I usually keep some in it to make it soft. I put Mayonnaise conditioning to my scalp and use low heat on my blower for a couple of minutes to dry it a bit. Let the rest air dryer and let my hair take on a mind of its own. 

How do you maintain your hair at night? 
Now this is want I need help with! I have the worst bed head in the morning. I just put it in a bun and night night!

How do you maintain healthy length? 
I am blessed to have hair that grows at a great rate. The longer it gets the wavier, but I like it curlier. So I keep it cut to my neck.

What’s the best thing about being curly? 
It’s just so easy to maintain. I love that I don’t look like everybody else. It is empowering to actually be in love with who you are. From my roots to tips, it’s all mine! God gave it to me so if He thinks is beautiful and right for me, why shouldn’t I.

Behind the Scenes: Deja Destinee’s Creative Process and Musical Inspiration

Published

on

The music industry is an ever-evolving landscape where artists must find their unique voice to stand out. In a detailed conversation, the grind of music and creativity were dissected with candor and passion by Shah Cypha and the multi-talented artist, Deja Destinée. They unpack the essence of Deja’s brand, her perspective on the music industry, and her multifaceted ventures beyond music.

The Genesis of a Brand: A Personal Story Through Music

The brand an artist creates is often a tapestry woven from their personal stories. For Deja Destinée, her name carries a legacy and an inspiration that fuels her artistic presence. “Deja Destiny is destiny… My first name was by my sister… Named after Tyra Banks’ character in Higher Learning… Destiny was named by my grandmother before I was born,” she recounts. This personal lineage adds depth to her music and offers her audience a piece of her narrative, creating a genuine connection that transcends the rhythms and lyrics.

In the music industry, the background behind a name often holds a significant weight, and Deja’s is intertwined deeply with her familial ties. Her music doesn’t just offer sound; it provides listeners with resonance, a shared experience that taps into the emotional fabric of the listener. This personal touch has become a beacon for her brand and her music, positioning her as an artist with a story to tell, a history to honor, and a future to shape.

Commanding the Stage: Performance as a Reflection of the Artist

A major theme from the discussion centered around Deja’s approach to performance. Stating that music comes as “first nature,” it’s evident that her on-stage persona is where she truly shines. Describing her performances, Deja says, “I give a lot of cocky energy. When I get on the stage, I usually bring my dancers, I have, you know, the flashy custom outfits… it makes them feel good, and for it to make them feel like they really that b\*\*\*h.”

This attitude exemplifies the confidence and showmanship that Deja brings to her craft, setting her apart in a crowded industry. The energy of a live performance, where the artist and audience feed off each other’s enthusiasm, is particularly crucial for Deja. Each show becomes an intimate conversation between them, a shared moment of empowerment and celebration of talent. It’s in these details that Deja’s commitment to her artistry, and her desire to elevate the music experience, shines brightest.

A Nexus of Creativity: Beyond Music

During the conversation, it became apparent that Deja is not content with being pigeonholed as just a musician. With interests in acting and entrepreneurship, such as her unique skincare line *Co-Skin*, she relays, “I do hair, I do makeup, I have my own like, skincare line doing shea butter… It’s so many things that I feel like I can tap into.”

Her tenacity to take on multiple creative endeavors showcases not only her talent but her understanding of the importance of diversification in a modern artist’s career. Deja leverages her platform in music to venture into other areas of interest, broadening her reach and solidifying her presence both in and out of the music world. This blend of artistry and enterprise spotlights a new generation of artists who are as business-minded as they are creative, indicative of the changing tides within the industry.

The Future Sounds of Success: Deja’s Continual Growth

As the conversation turned towards future prospects, Deja Destinée laid out her vision of evolving within the industry and her plans to be a game-changer. With new music on the horizon, including the engagingly titled single “ATE”, and a role in the upcoming film premiere set for June 6th at Newark Cinema, Deja’s grind is relentless.

Echoing her earlier sentiments on the significance of grinding, she reiterates, “To work and put in the work… when you don’t want to do it, put in the work then, too, because in the end, it’s gonna pay off.” It’s with this unwavering dedication and drive that Deja Destinée forges ahead, paving her path with an unshakeable belief in her art and her ability to influence the industry.

Deja’s narrative is one that is building upon the foundations of authenticity, perseverance, and an uncompromising vision for what she wants to achieve. With a solid grounding in the values instilled in her name and approach to music, the future beckons with infinite possibilities, each one an opportunity to further the imprint of Deja Destinée on the world.
