Destinee Rea

Hi, I’m Destinee Rea—an actress, singer, and storyteller based in New York City. From the moment my mom put on The Wiz and told me to sing, I knew storytelling would shape my life.

I started dancing at eleven and received a scholarship to the Chamberlain School of Ballet, where I trained in ballet, modern, jazz, tap, voice, and acting. Inspired by artists like Audra McDonald and Angela Bassett, I earned my B.A. in Musical Theatre from Sam Houston State University and followed the call to New York City soon after.

Since then, I’ve had the joy of performing on Broadway in Amélie, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, and The Book of Mormon, as well as regionally in Hercules, After Midnight, and Goddess. No matter the stage or screen, my goal is always the same: to tell the truth with heart and intention.

Beyond performing, I’m learning to find beauty in the in-between moments. That’s why I started a personal blog—an honest space where I explore what it means to find love in the ordinary. If you’re curious, I’d love for you to come along.
