Born in Mt. Vernon, NY, she began her love of music at a very young age singing in a church choir. By the time she was 16, she moved to New York City and began taking dance lessons at Broadway Dance Center, where she studied all forms of dance including hip-hop, house, jazz, and ballet.

While music had taken a complete hold over the young Devyn, it wouldn’t be until years later that she was discovered by multi-platinum producer Dame Grease during a BMI Open Mic. As her journey was destined to take its own unique path, Devyn’s first introduction to the entertainment world on a professional level was as a model, where she participated in several local and national fashion shows. Fully aware that singing was her biggest passion, in her spare time Devyn began originally writing songs and recording under the name of Tanya aka T6. With the connections she made in the fashion world, she began performing at fashion shows, which eventually lead to her performing at different venues and competitions.

Under her previous moniker Tanya T6, she released a mixtape for fans, entitled “Move Over Paris Hilton, There’s a New It Girl in Town”, hosted by New York’s POWER 105.1’s DJ Suss One”. From the mixtape, she released “Work My Body” which premiered on the DJ Wrexx show on WZMX Hartford's Hot 93.7 and quickly flooded the digital world, which led to calls and request from across the nation and the globe. Stemming from the momentum that she had created with her first single, she began remixing popular songs and sending them out via a weekly email blast to all the major DJ’s across the world. Before long, DJ’s began contacting her on a daily basis requesting her latest and greatest remixes which eventually helped brand her as the “The Remix Queen”. To follow, she released her official follow-up single entitled “Get It Off” featuring Young Money’s Jae Millz, which hit radio airwaves nationally and internationally, adding to her having over 30 songs tracked and accumulating radio spins.

Over the last few years, she has been working diligently to perfect a sound that she is thrilled to call “her own”. Having been fortunate enough to work behind the scenes with Hip-Hop artists such as 3 6 Mafia, N.O.R.E., KURUPT, Mims, Jae Millz, French Montana, Chinx Drugz, Max B, Mike Shore, Royce Da 59, and Grammy nominated Producer D-Moet, she has been able to develop an eccentric new generation mix of pop, r&b, alternative, and hip hop genres. Her new style signifies edgy, sexy with an attitude, beat driven and loud, which has evolved into the Devyn Rose sound. It’s a sound that she not only feels passionate about, but also feels that her fans will be able to most connect with.

In 2013, media giant Hulkshare.com became an official sponsor of her movement, as well as other companies like Tweewoo.com, Endorfina Jeans, and Frostwire, to name a few.

While considered by some to be a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, Devyn remains both humble and hungry, to share her many talents with the world. When it comes to her music, her career, and her effortless talent, she continues to prove to the world with every endeavor, that she’s destined to be a musical force to be reckoned with.

Pieces
Devyn Rose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell in love
For all the wrong reasons
Spur of the moment
An opportunity
To get over what was done to me
I wanted someone
To pick up where he left off
Something like a rebound, rebound, rebound

Believe me, it hurts
To let him know the truth
Knowing that he's in love with me
This is what it all boils down to
Down to

Hook
I gotta tell you a secret
I'm with you for another reason
So sorry but I've been leading, you on
What I'm bout to tell you will, what I'm bout to tell you will tear up your heart
Into pieces
It'll break your heart up into pieces
Tear up your heart in a million pieces
It'll break your heart up into pieces

I fell in love
For all the wrong reasons
I'm left with when and how do I tell him
Leading him on isn't helping
The longer I wait
The worse it will get
I can't figure it out
But I do know
But I'm grown
Got a mind of my own
I'm very aware of what I am doing
I know it's wrong
This is what it all boils down to
Down to

I'm bout to shatter your heart
Shatter your heart
I'm bout to tear it apart, part
Tear it apart
I'm bout to shatter your heart
Shatter your heart
I'm bout to tear it apart part, tear it apart

Hook

I can't imagine how he will feel
Been months
I haven't kept it real
It's like throwing him against the wall
Not helping him up when he falls
It's like running all over his heart over and over and over again
Where do I begin...

Hook

Overall Meaning

In “Pieces” by Devyn Rose, the artist reflects on a short-lived relationship that she entered into for the wrong reasons. The song is all about coming to terms with the fact that she has been leading her partner on, despite not really being in love with him. She confesses that she fell in love “for all the wrong reasons” and that this person was a “rebound” from a previous relationship that ended badly. She knows that it’s wrong, but she admits that she’s “grown” and has “a mind of her own” – she’s fully aware of what she’s doing.

The lyrics of the song depict a struggle between Rose’s desire to be honest with her partner and her own fear of heartbreak. She knows that telling the truth will completely shatter her partner’s heart and leave it “in a million pieces”. She acknowledges that “leading him on isn’t helping,” but can’t quite figure out a way to end things without hurting him. Ultimately, the song is about emotional pain and the difficult choices that come with being in a relationship that is fueled more by rebound than by love.

Overall, “Pieces” is a poignant contemplation of a love that was never meant to be. Rose lays bare her emotions, admitting to her own mistakes and struggling to find a way out of a difficult and painful situation. The lyrics are both honest and raw, and the song’s melancholic melody only serves to emphasize the depth of her feelings.
