Raised in Berkeley on her parents’ soul and Latin records and the Bay’s rich music culture, Destani developed her unique Cali-soul sound, enriched by time in Mexico where she connected with her heritage through ranchera classics, further deepened her artistry. Back in the Bay, she refined her voice in the underground hip-hop, jazz, and blues scene. Her career has seen her perform and record worldwide, supporting legends like Seal, Zap Mama, Taj Mahal, Talib Kweli, Seu Jorge and more.
