About

Maggie Rogers isn't just a singer-songwriter; she's a sonic alchemist, weaving together folk intimacy, dance-pop euphoria, and a profound connection to the natural world. From a viral encounter with Pharrell Williams at NYU's Clive Davis Institute – captured in a now-legendary video – Rogers catapulted from relative obscurity to the forefront of a new wave of emotionally intelligent pop. Her music, initially drawing comparisons to Florence + The Machine and Haim, quickly evolved into a signature blend of acoustic instrumentation, pulsing electronic beats, and deeply personal lyrics. Her debut album, *Heard It in a Past Life* (2019), established her as a major force, its raw vulnerability and infectious energy resonating with a generation grappling with identity and belonging. Subsequent releases, like *Surrender* (2022), showcased a bolder, more experimental sound, incorporating elements of rock and roll and reflecting a period of intense self-discovery. Beyond her recorded output, Rogers is known for her electrifying live performances, transforming concert halls into communal spaces of catharsis and celebration. She's collaborated with artists like Rostam Batmanglij and has become a voice for environmental awareness, further solidifying her role as a multi-faceted artist with a message that transcends mere entertainment. Rogers continues to explore new sonic landscapes, hinting at future projects that promise to push her artistic boundaries even further.
