Destiny Rogers is here to bless the R&B game with her sweet personality and badass skateboarding passion. Hailing from a small town in Northern California called Lodi, the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist caught the attention of The Stereotypes, the Grammy-award winning production group who’s worked with everyone from Bruno Mars to Justin Bieber to Ne-Yo to Chris Brown. This year alone, she unleashed her Tomboy EP featuring lead single “Tomboy,” along with a banger titled “Lo Lo” with P-Lo and Guapdad 4000 — a Bay Area collab for the books. Now, she sits with DJ Felli Fel at the station for an intimate conversation about her journey.
Born and raised in the church, Destiny has been surrounded by music her entire life. She explains, “My dad’s a worship leader and he’s also a musician. He plays piano and drums, and he sings. My mom’s a singer too, she sang in the choir. Growing up in church and always being around music, it was all I knew. I was in church every day because they were always there. It was kind of in my blood already, but I never gave it any attention until I was probably 4 or 5. My dad would gift me drum sets for Christmas. When I was a baby, my parents would put out pots and pans around me and give me spoons, I just bang on the pans to get a beat in my head.”
