NaTasha Rogers is no stranger to trusting her intuition while pursuing her greatest dreams of being a supreme world-class entertainer, music educator, future music therapist, and humanitarian. She's auditioned for Beyoncé's all-female band in Houston, Texas. In addition, she has opened up for Bobby Brown, PJ Morton (keyboardist for Maroon 5), Grammy Award Winner Shaun Martin (Snarky Puppy), and a host of other recording artists. In the Spring of 2008, "Ms.Music" flew to New York City and auditioned for Sean "Diddy" Comb's reality TV show 'Diddy's: Making His Band,' which aired on MTV later that summer. Although she didn't make 'His Band' during the audition, "Ms.Music" was the only female keyboardist that advanced into the final round and stood amongst the top 12 keyboardists in the entire audition. New Kids on the Block's music director & music frontman on VH-1's 'Big Morning Buzz' with Nick Lachey, Rob Lewis, as well as Romeo Johnson (vocal coach for NBC's 'The Voice') left "Ms.Music" motivated and implanted enough musical wisdom to last a lifetime.
For over 25 years, NaTasha Rogers performed with various cover bands. From Dallas' premiere cover band N'TENSE The Band, Domino Effect, Bernard Wright, Ardina Lockhart, to Little Rock, Arkansas' One Stone Reggae Band (Chris Bowen) & her popular college band, Signature (which featured Memphis R&B/Soul vocalist/guitarist Terreigh Barnett), playing in these bands groomed NaTasha "Ms.Music" Rogers as a solo entertainer, background vocalist, music director, keyboard tech, as well as a versatile musician, entrepreneur, and businesswoman. Preparation from these experiences refined "Ms.Music's" craft & now, she's finally emerged from behind the scenes into a full-time, international, solo recording artist, well-respected entertainer, and music educator.
In 2010, NaTasha "Ms.Music" Rogers recorded trumpet, background vocals, & talk box on the 'Limited Edition EP' with Dallas-based all-female band Beauty and the Beats. Together these five women performed across the country and brought back energetic, experimental, & live music--with a bang! With inspirational elements from acts like Prince & The Revolution, PJ Morton, Lenny Kravitz, Robert Glasper Experiment, Aretha Franklin, & Weather Report, Beauty & the Beats were known to leave their audience raving for an encore! The phenomenal all-woman band is most remembered for their 2012 performance at the House of Blues in Dallas, Texas. Beauty and the Beats are currently on hiatus. But their concerts are available on YouTube.
