Farrah Destiny Franklin (born May 3, 1981) is an American singer, actress, and model, formerly a member of Destiny's Child. Her mother is African American and Native American and her father is Italian American. In 1999, Franklin was hired to be an extra in the music video for Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills". It was there that she became acquainted with group members Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé Knowles. At the time she was in a fledgling singing group called Jane Doe, which was in the process of disbanding. In December, Matthew Knowles invited Franklin and Michelle Williams to join Destiny's Child—replacing previous group members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett without notice. The two were introduced in February 2000, via the music video for "Say My Name". Franklin toured and performed with the group, and also appeared in the music video for "Jumpin' Jumpin'".
