David used Destiny in Macy Gray’s album cover as well as for performance footage in Elton John’s mesmerizing Las Vegas show “The Million Dollar Piano.”

Making her the most sought after performer since Jennifer Lopez. Seventeen Magazine interviewed and shot a spread with Destiny naming her as “the one to watch on the rise” that featured “Step Up” star Jenna Dewan. Almost every major label contacted her to work with their artists to develop them into the well-polished entertainers they longed for. She began booking projects with Jennifer Lopez, Missy Elliot, and being featured in Jamie Foxx’s NBC special “Unpredictable.” Destiny was asked by music mogul Devyne Stephens to work with a new artist named Ciara, becoming the performance influence of her first album.
