Destiny’s Child co-founder LaTavia Roberson was on hand to support newcomers Havok Jones hours ago, when she arrived at ‘Havok Jones: The Inaugural Homage’ , to celebrate the group’s arrival onto R&B’s scene.

Endorsing the poorly styled four piece alongside Michael Keith of 112, Angie Stone, Meelah of 702 and LeLee of SWV, Roberson’s arrival at the event saw her honoured by the ladies, who performed a medley of R&B girl group classics, which included the Destiny’s Child classic ‘Say My Name‘, co-written by the ‘R&B Diva.’

Indeed, it’s been 16 years since Mya blazed onto the scene with her self titled debut.

In the time that has followed, Grammy’s, #1 singles, and critical acclaim have all featured in the singer’s success story.

The live platform, which sees That Grape Juice team up with footwear force Creative Recreation, welcomes the 31-year-old, who turns in rousing renditions of ‘The Best Of Me’, ‘Moving On’, and new song ‘Super Woman’ – which is lifted from her latest EP ‘Sweet XVI’.

Her latest single may have struggled to snap, crackle and pop in the US, but that hasn’t stopped Brit-Pop megastar Rita Ora from being named one of ‘Spotify‘s most influential artists under the age of 25, standing tall as the only British female artist to make the list!

Factoring chart hits, volume and growth of streams and shares to compile the list, the streaming service unveiled the ‘Top 25 under 25′ before the release of Ora’s US debut, no doubt set to benefit from the positive press her appearance on the chart will arm her with.

So, just where did the former ‘Size’ sales clerk come on the tally?
