Dean, who hails from Muskogee, Oklahoma, grew up in a family of musicians. She originally wanted to be a chef, but her family pushed her into music, which she fell in love with.

She wrote Rihanna’s “Rude Boy,” which ranked No. 1 on Billboard charts. The track also sold more than 3 million units. Dean was signed to Interscope records, and pretty much began writing for just about everyone.
