It’s not often someone from the buckle of the bible belt, Springfield, Missouri, turns up as the next big thing in pop music. But here we are - looking to 24 year old Jake Wesley Rogers. The singer, whose journey has taken him from Springfield to Season 7 of America’s Got Talent, to Nashville and Belmont University, to a publishing deal with Sony. All that before he even hit 21. After a few self-released EPs in ‘17 and ‘19, Rogers returns with new arsenal behind him.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Rogers had signed a record deal with Warner Records imprint label Facet and his debut single “Middle of Love” was released. The glam-pop upriser caught the attention of Elton John, who featured Rogers on his podcast Rocket Hour, and Rogers has also become quite the star on TikTok.
With new music continuing to pour out, JWR is primed to set the world on fire.
