December Fades is the moniker of the self-produced Los Angeles singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, Kevin Rogers. His refreshing musical approach is radio-friendly, cathartic, and inspiring. Every element of his music is carefully carved to perfection, blending anthemic hooks and poetic imagery over unique and moody cross-genre production. From the first moment the listener is taken on a dynamic journey guided by his creative soundscapes, heartfelt lyrics, unforgettable melodies, and emotive voice.
Music Connection Magazine states that December Fades has, “. . . a haunted vibe to his vocals and a neo-classical lean to his piano.” A&R Factory said, “December Fades captures that raw melancholic alchemy from . . . artists such as Radiohead, Placebo and Portishead.” “. . . Imagine a more melodic, stripped-back ethereal version of Nine Inch Nails . . .”
December Fades has shared the stage with Billie Eilish, Haley Reinhart, and hit songwriter/ producer Mark Jackson (River - Bishop Briggs), and has worked with countless hit songwriters and grammy winners. He has co-written with Trey Campbell (John Legend, Ellie Golding, Celine Dion), and Jesse Thomas (PTX, Kelly Clarkson, Ingrid Andress).
With his award-winning music videos “Crash and Burn” and “Sunrise”, things are looking very promising for this rising star. December Fades is dropping a new synth pop single on Friday July 19th. In the meantime, take a listen to his latest release, a song A.Vandergast called the pinnacle of the synthwave seduction, "With You".
