Despite her eventual success as a rapper, Rouge initially had different aspirations. She studied musical theatre with the goal of pursuing a career on Broadway. However, her passion for music emerged at a young age. By the age of six, she displayed an exceptional ability to sing. By the age of twelve, she was already composing her own lyrics. Her talent for songwriting paved the way for her involvement in acting, public speaking, and poetry.
