DJ Rogers, Jr.
Настоящее имя: DJ Rogers, Jr.
Об исполнителе:
With a career that started with the graphic bump and grind of "Doggy Style," it would be easy to picture D.J. Rogers Jr. as a sultry R&B singer similar to R. Kelly, especially considering the earthy nature of his first hit. However, after contemplating his future in the wake of that song's appearance on the successful soundtrack for Above the Rim in 1993, Rogers chose to let his first brush with fame's spotlight wane. Choosing instead to concentrate on his considerable writing skills, the rest of the '90s saw Rogers build a career he was more comfortable with, penning songs for a number of artists, including Faith Evans and Carl Thomas. Having inherited the same rich, expressive voice that catapulted his father, the senior D.J. Rogers, to fame in the '70s, it seemed inevitable that D.J. Rogers Jr. would return to recording. His return saw him performing with a more organic bent that fit him comfortably in the nascent neo-soul tradition. His debut album, Emosoul, was released in late 2002.
