Jake Wesley Rogers pairs classic pop melodicism with a modern perspective, delivering tightly crafted songs that are poignant, inclusive, and frequently catchy. With nods to forebears like Elton John and Florence + the Machine, the Missouri native appeared in the late 2010s bearing a splashy visual aesthetic and honest, heartfelt stories told through a queer lens. Self-released songs like 2019's "Little Queen" and "Jacob from the Bible" earned him a contract with Warner-affiliated Facet Records, which helped introduce Rogers to the mainstream with EPs like Pluto (2021) and Love (2022).
