First emerging on the scene in 2018, Destiny Rogers' musical prowess was deeply influenced by her family's shared love for music. Raised in a household where rock and roll, corridos, and 2000s hip-hop and R&B were ever-present, Rogers developed a diverse musical palette from a young age.

These influences, combined with her early experiences playing guitar, recording covers on YouTube, and performing in a worship band at her local church, shaped Rogers into the multi-faceted artist she is today.
Rogers' talent and hard work have led to collaborations with Grammy-Award-winning songwriter/production team The Stereotypes, who have worked with notable artists like Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and Mariah Carey. Her music has earned her performances at prestigious festivals, including Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival and SXSW. Rogers has also received endorsements from major publications such as Billboard, Rolling Stone, Complex, Genius, V Magazine, Nylon, and Ones To Watch.
