Destiny Rogers

Destiny Rogers (born September 13, 1999) 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 having learned from her mother's side.

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.
