Destiny Rogers


Destiny Rogers is an American singer from Lodi, California.

Early life

Rogers grew up in the small town of Lodi with her family. Rogers is fluent in Spanish from the Mexican ancestry on her mother's side. She learned to play guitar at the age of 10 from watching YouTube videos of Justin Bieber play. Rogers' dad was a worship leader and encouraged her to perform during church services. Rogers went to a non-traditional, independent high school. She moved to Los Angeles in January 2019 for her career.

Musical career

In 2017, a family friend showed Rogers' cover on YouTube to production duo The Stereotypes, which led them to working together. Rogers subsequently spent one weekend a month in Los Angeles to work on music with them for two years. She signed with their label in February 2018 and RCA Records in November. Her music influences are Justin Bieber, H.E.R., Kehlani, and Billie Eilish.
On February 28, 2019, Rogers released her debut single "Tomboy," following recording in mid-2018. Lyrically, the song is about "defying expectations"; Rogers accepts herself as a tomboy, as she doesn't wear makeup, has baggy clothes, and is into skateboarding. A music video was filmed in Rogers' hometown with footage of her skateboarding and was released with the song. Professional skater, Mariah Duran, also flew out to appear in the video.
Rogers released her debut EP, Tomboy, produced by The Stereotypes on March 22 after recording for two years. Music videos for the EP songs "North$ide" and "Lockdown" were also released.
Rogers performed at the 2019 South by Southwest and 2019 Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. In the fall of 2019, she opened for singer Ruel on his Free Time Tour in North America.
On May 29, 2020, Rogers released her second EP titled Great Escape, described as "emotionally charged." The EP was led by singles "Kickin' Pushin'" and "Euphoria."
