Maggie Rogers Biography

The American singer and songwriter Maggie Rogers was born in 1994 in Maryland. Rogers grew up learning to play the harp and developing a love and appreciation for classical music. By the time she was in high school, she had also studied guitar and piano, and had started to write her own music. After spending a summer at the Berklee College of Music in a special program, Maggie knew for certain that she wanted to become a performer.

After entering New York University to study music, Maggie continued to hone her skills in writing, producing, and performing. Her big breakthrough came during one of the university’s “master classes,” which gave her an opportunity to perform her original song, “Alaska,” for Pharrell Williams. A viral video of the performance, including Pharrell’s clearly affected reaction to her talents, launched Maggie Rogers to internet fame.

Since that time, Maggie Rogers has self-released the debut album, The Echo (2012.) Her second album, Blood Ballet, arrived in 2014, and her single “Alaska” rose into the top twenty on both the Alternative Adult Charts and the Rock Charts in the United States. Rogers’ most recent album, Now That the Light Is Fading, arrived in 2017. The album reached the top forty on the Rock charts and spawned the top twenty alternative hit, “On and Off.”
