When Jake Wesley Rogers pops onto my laptop screen on a grey day in February, I am instantly blinded by colour. And not just any colour — bright fire-hydrant red. Between the wall behind him in his L.A. home and the top of his head , the 25-year-old singer is basked in a crimson halo, made more vibrant by his purple, green and orange V-neck sweater. The only neutral in this entire pop-art tableau is the black of his thick aviator-style glasses.
Like everything else in the Kansas City-born singer-songwriter’s life, Jake Wesley Rogers didn’t find fame in the conventional way. After a brief stint onin 2012 and a string of singles, he caught the eye of hit songwriter Justin Tranter and in 2020 was signed to an imprint of Warner Records. Shortly after, Rogers’s rocket ship took off on, not because of his music but for spilling the tea on “queer icon” Abraham Lincoln, which he filmed while wearing a tea infuser as an earring.
Jake Wesley Rogers grew up in the heart of the Bible belt in Springfield, Mo., but he didn’t have a typical conservative small-town experience. In fact, he says, his upbringing in the Ozarks was filled with warmth, compassion and acceptance. “My hometown has like 40 churches on each block, so, of course, it’s very religious, but it also has Midwestern values like love and kindness,” he shares. “I was very lucky to have found a safe place where I was free to be myself.
