**Destiny Rogers** (born September 13, 1999) is an American singer from [Lodi, California](/source/Lodi%2C_California).[2] Rogers has released three extended plays: *Tomboy* (2019) led by the single "Tomboy,” *Great Escape* and *Be Kind Rewind* in 2026.

## Early life

Rogers grew up in the small town of [Lodi, California](/source/Lodi%2C_California).[3] Rogers is fluent in Spanish from growing up in a Mexican household through her mother's side of the family.[4][5] She learned to play guitar at the age of 10 from watching YouTube videos of [Justin Bieber](/source/Justin_Bieber) play.[2] Rogers grew up in the [Pentecostal](/source/Pentecostal) church where her dad has been a worship leader for 30 years; she was active in the church community in her youth and performed in the band during church services.[6] Rogers went to a non-traditional, independent high school so she could focus on singing and songwriting.[7][5] She moved to Los Angeles in January 2019 for her music career.[6]

## Musical career

In 2017, a family friend showed Rogers' cover on YouTube to production duo [The Stereotypes](/source/The_Stereotypes), which led them to working together.[7] Rogers subsequently spent one weekend a month in Los Angeles to work on music with them for two years.[4] She signed with their label in February 2018 and [RCA Records](/source/RCA_Records) in November.[4] Her music influences are Justin Bieber, [H.E.R.](/source/H.E.R.), [Kehlani](/source/Kehlani), and [Billie Eilish](/source/Billie_Eilish).[8]

On February 28, 2019, Rogers released her debut single "Tomboy," following recording in mid-2018.[9] Lyrically, the song is about "defying expectations" and inspiring women to be confident.[10] A music video was filmed in Rogers' hometown with footage of her skateboarding and was released with the song.[9] Professional skater, [Mariah Duran](/source/Mariah_Duran), also flew out to appear in the video.[11] Rogers released her debut EP, *Tomboy*, produced by The Stereotypes on March 22, 2019, after recording for two years.[12] Music videos for the EP songs "North$ide" and "Lockdown" were also released.[13][8]

Rogers performed at the 2019 [South by Southwest](/source/South_by_Southwest) and 2019 [Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival](/source/Camp_Flog_Gnaw_Carnival).[8] In the fall of 2019, she opened for singer [Ruel](/source/Ruel_(singer)) on his Free Time Tour in North America.[14] In December 2019, Rogers participated in a songwriting camp with [Alicia Keys](/source/Alicia_Keys).[15] On May 29, 2020, Rogers released her second EP titled *Great Escape*.[16][1] The EP was led by singles "Kickin' Pushin'" and "Euphoria."[17]

Singer Lisa from K-Pop group [Blackpink](/source/Blackpink) released a choreographed music video for "Tomboy" which boosted the song through streaming.[18][19][5] The attention prompted Rogers to release a remix of the song with rapper [Coi Leray](/source/Coi_Leray) and a new music video in April 2021.[18] In May 2021, Rogers released a single and music video titled "West Like" featuring [Kalan.FrFr](/source/Kalan.FrFr)[20] and a joint single called "Got It Like That" with [B.I](/source/B.I_(rapper)) and [Tyla Yaweh](/source/Tyla_Yaweh).[21]

Rogers co-wrote the track "All or Nothing" on K-Pop singer [Nayeon](/source/Nayeon)'s debut solo project *[Im Nayeon](/source/Im_Nayeon_(EP))* released on June 24, 2022.[22] On August 18, 2022, Rogers was featured in the remix of Thuy's song "In My Bag".[23] Rogers appeared on [James Reid](/source/James_Reid_(actor))'s album *Lovescene* in the song "Lie to Me."[24] The accompanying music video was filmed in [Manila](/source/Manila), [Philippines](/source/Philippines) and was released on November 16, 2022.[25] Rogers stated near the end of 2022 that she left RCA Records.[6]
