Born Destiny Bailey, Dess Dior was born in St. Louis, Missouri before moving further south to Savannah, Georgia. Around the age of 12, a fun hobby turned into a passion after her dad pushed her to take music seriously. In 2020, that natural passion moved toward a profession, when the pandemic gave her the space and time to sit in Atlanta, focus on her craft, and build an EP. Definition of Dess, was the first real showcase of a raw, relatable, effortless cool girl next door ready to give the world a peak in. Dess also found herself diving into a unique form of self expression through fashion. With the rise of social media, Dess grew a massive following by setting stylish trends. After a string of singles and the release of her latest EP, RAW, Dess is bringing lavish and relatability back in a way that rap hasn’t seen from a newcomer.
In 2022, Dess Dior also made her television debut appearing on BET’s newest reality show, The Impact, highlighting Dess’s influence in music, fashion, and urban culture.
