Mstr Rogers

Jarrad Leith Rogers, known professionally as Mstr Rogers, commenced his musical journey in Melbourne, Australia. He developed an early aptitude for classical piano and trumpet, later forming a band at age 13 where he first explored music production. Following his studies at RMIT University, where he earned degrees in Business Management and Civil Engineering, Rogers pursued a career as a consultant before dedicating his full attention to music.

His early career from 2001 to 2005 saw him as an in-house producer for an independent label in Melbourne, contributing to the development of artists such as Daniel Merriweather and Phrase. During this period, Rogers co-wrote significant singles like ‘Predictable’ and ‘Not Me, Not I’ for Delta Goodrem’s debut album ‘Innocent Eyes,’ which achieved considerable commercial success, including multiple number-one chart positions. He also worked with Guy Sebastian, co-writing and producing ‘Oh Oh,’ which earned an Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) award in 2006. Further collaborations in Australia included work with Ricki-Lee Coulter and Jimmy Barnes.

In 2005, Rogers relocated to London after signing a publishing deal with Mushroom Music, marking a new phase in his career. He produced unreleased material for Lauryn Hill in 2006 and created official remixes for Mark Ronson’s ‘Valarie’ featuring Amy Winehouse, and Groove Armada’s ‘Song 4 Mutya.’ His work expanded to include co-writing and production for Boyzone’s ‘Love You Anyway’ in 2008, which charted in the UK and Ireland. The 2010s saw extensive collaborations, including with Alex Clare on his debut album ‘The Lateness of the Hour,’ Lana Del Rey (co-writing ‘Live or Die’), The Saturdays, and Tinchy Stryder, whose song ‘Bright Lights’ reached number seven in the UK Singles Chart. Rogers also co-wrote and produced Aiden Grimshaw’s debut album ‘Misty Eye,’ which charted at number 19 in the UK in 2012. Throughout this period, he served as an international judge for APRA and was a key speaker at an APRA event in London.

Moving to America around 2015, Rogers began focusing on his solo artist career under the Mstr Rogers moniker. His debut single, ‘I’ll Take You,’ released in October 2015 on Big Beat Records, quickly gained traction, reaching number 1 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart and number 6 on the US Viral Chart by January 2016. In March 2017, he released ‘Sooner Or Later’ featuring Inka Wood on Ultra Music, which accumulated over 1 million streams across platforms. This was followed by ‘Don’t You Think’ featuring Aanysa in June 2017. He has also produced and co-written ‘Broken Glass’ for Rachel Platten in 2017, which achieved over 7 million Spotify streams. His work on Bea Miller’s ‘Like That’ has garnered over 56 million Spotify streams. Rogers continued to perform official remixes for artists such as Twenty One Pilots and Andra Day, and has upcoming releases with Andy Grammer, including ‘Smoke Clears’ and ‘Workin On It.’ He signed with Circle Live Agency in 2017.
