Maggie Rogers, born Margaret Debay Rogers on April 25, 1994, in Easton, Maryland, is an American singer-songwriter celebrated for her blend of folk, pop, and electronic music. She began playing the harp at age seven and drew inspiration from classical composers and neo-soul artists like Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. A graduate of NYU's Clive Davis Institute, Rogers gained global attention in 2016 when her song "Alaska" captivated Pharrell Williams during a master class, launching her career. Her 2019 debut album Heard It in a Past Life earned critical acclaim and chart success, followed by the more experimental Surrender in 2022. Rogers balanced her career with academics, earning a master’s degree in religion from Harvard in 2022. Known for her intimate, emotive performances, she headlined Madison Square Garden in 2024.
