Artist Biography

Jake Wesley Rogers is a queer indie pop artist from Ozark, Missouri who mixes comedy bits into his act. He takes influences from Elton John and Florence + the Machine. At the young age of 12, Jake learned to play the piano and sing. In 2012, he made it to the quarter-finals of the seventh season of America’s Got Talent. In these teenage years, he continued his craft of emotive songwriting with a flamboyant visual aesthetic layered with heartfelt stories through a queer lens. His 2019 self-released singles “Little Queen” and “Jacob from the Bible” got him signed to Warner-affiliated Facet Records where he launched his first couple of EPs. From there, Jake kept releasing singles and EPs with his latest 2022 EP Love containing the hits “Lavender Forever” and “Hindsight.”
