She's one to watch at the Grammys.
As the 2020 Grammys approach, you are probably listening to as many of the nominees as you can so you can rightfully protest on Twitter if one of your favorites doesn't win big. While you're doing your heavy listening, you may have stumbled down the good ol' Maggie Rogers rabbit hole. The 25-year-old artist from Easton, Maryland, is nominated for Best New Artist at this years' Grammys alongside our other favorites like Lizzo, Billie Eilish, and Lil Nas X, to name a few.
Whether or not she wins the award, she's a voice to be heard, and I have a feeling her songs will be in our playlists for years to come.In 2016, Rogers was enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts as a student of the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. One day, uber-famous music producer Pharrell Williams stopped by one of her classes to listen to her and some other students' songs they had been working on and critique them.
And when a video of a music legend is put out onto the Internet of said legend in utter and deep shock about how good a song is, it obviously has to go viral. This is exactly what happened here when Pharrell heard Rogers' song"Alaska" for the first time. "I have zero, zero, zero notes for that," he says when the song stops playing."I've never heard anyone like you before, and I've never heard anyone that sounds like that."
People went nuts, to say the least, because not only was Pharrell practically bowing down to Rogers,"Alaska" was a song like no other.
