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.

Farrah recorded some songs with Destiny`s Child on the re-issue of their second album The Writing`s on the Wall, while touring with Christina Aguilera.
