Hire: Maggie Rogers

Margaret Debay Rogers (born April 25, 1994) is an American singer-songwriter and record producer from Easton, Maryland. Her big break came when her song “Alaska” was played to Pharrell Williams during a master class at New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.

She was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2019. She graduated from Harvard Divinity School in May 2022.

Maggie Rogers grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland along the banks of the Miles River in Easton, Talbot County, Maryland. She began playing harp at age seven and loved the music of Gustav Holst and Antonio Vivaldi. Her mother would play neo-soul artists such as Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. By the time she was in middle school, Rogers had added piano and guitar to her repertoire and began songwriting in eighth grade.

Rogers cites Carrie Brownstein, Patti Smith, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, and Björk as her musical inspirations, while prominent singers Brandi Carlile and Sharon Van Etten — whom she calls her “musical big sisters” — have become mentors.

The summer after her junior year in high school, Rogers attended a Berklee College of Music program and won the program’s songwriting contest, which spurred her to focus on writing.

During her high school senior year, she recorded what became her first album, The Echo (2012). Rogers included her demos as part of her application to New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. She secured admission and started in 2012.

In 2016, after two years of writer’s block, Rogers wrote “Alaska”, a song she wrote in fifteen minutes about a National Outdoor Leadership School course. She played the song for Pharrell Williams in a master class he taught at her school, and a video of a visibly moved Williams listening to the song went viral that June, resulting in millions of views as well as hundreds of thousands of plays of The Echo and Blood Ballet.

In May 2016, Rogers graduated from New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music with a degree in music engineering and production and English.

In April 2019, Maggie Rogers covered the Taylor Swift song “Tim McGraw” as a Spotify Single. She told Rolling Stone, “This song so distinctly belongs to one of — I think, personally — the greatest living songwriters.”

On November 13, 2020, Rogers collaborated with Phoebe Bridgers on a cover version of the Goo Goo Dolls‘ 1998 single “Iris”, which Bridgers said she would make if Donald Trump lost the 2020 United States elections.

The song was released as a one-day exclusive on Bandcamp and was downloaded 28,000 times, with all proceeds going to Fair Fight Action.

Despite only being available for purchase for one day, the song debuted at number one on the Digital Song Sales chart and No. 57 on the Billboard Hot 200, making it both artists’ first entry on the latter chart. The song also charted in Australia, New Zealand, and Scotland.

On March 30, 2022, Maggie Rogers announced her second studio album, Surrender, which was released on July 29, 2022. It was supported by the singles “That’s Where I Am”, “Want Want”, and “Horses”. The album features a couple of contributions from notable singers. The track “Shatter” features Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine providing additional vocals and playing tambourine, and “I’ve Got a Friend” features Clairo and Claud speaking.
