About Destiny Rogers 24-year-old Mexican-American pop singer-songwriter Destiny Rogers was fueled by a dream of making music that would take her far beyond Lodi, the tiny Northern California town where she was born. Raised by a father who played rock and roll, a Mexican mother who sang corridos, and an older sister who loved 2000’s hip-hop and R&B – Destiny was surrounded by a world of music. At home, she was playing guitar and recording covers on YouTube, and at church, she was performing in the worship band. With this, Destiny was shaped into the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist that we see today.
At 17, Destiny connected with Grammy-Award-winning songwriter/production team The Stereotypes (Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey) and in 2018 signed to their label, Beach Wave Sound. The collaboration has since resulted in Destiny’s R&B and hip-hop-inflected pop sound, most definitely heard through her viral debut hit song, “Tomboy”, which received a remix with Coi Leray and has amassed 200 million combined audio and video streams worldwide, peaking at #12 on the Spotify Viral 50 Global Chart. In May 2021, Rogers released a single and music video titled "West Like" featuring Kalan.FrFr and the collaborative track "Got It Like That" with B.I and Tyla Yaweh. Rogers has written for numerous acts, including TWICE, Nayeon, and Le Sserafim, and has performed at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, South by Southwest, and on tour with Ruel. Along the way, her music has been praised by Billboard, Rolling Stone, Complex, Genius, V Magazine, Nylon, Ones To Watch, and more.
In 2022, Destiny opened up about her sexuality with Rolling Stone and how she learned to love herself regardless of pushback from her family and ending her first relationship with a girl in secret. With this story at the root of her upcoming debut album, Destiny is ready to show the world her most honest and intentional music, and in a sonic space, more evolved than fans have ever heard from her. |
