Joshua Rogers and his single “Still Gon’ Trust” will be featured in St. Jude Children’s Reasearch Hospital commercials for the next three years in a collaboration highlighting how music can provide solace and faith during challenging times, resonating with families supported by St. Jude.
“What an honor,” Joshua exclaimed upon learning that his single would feature in St. Jude commercials over the next three years. “Still Gon’ Trust” topped the Billboard BDS Charts in May 2022, penned by Lucius Hoskins and gospel icon Percy Bady.
Released during the pandemic, the song provided solace and faith, urging listeners to trust God during financial hardship, loss, and uncertainty. This poignant message will resonate with countless families benefiting from St. Jude’s generosity. “Music truly is a gift, a beacon of hope and a testament to the belief that things can improve, especially for parents navigating trust amidst struggles. It’s truly a special honor,” Rogers reflected.
In 2012, Joshua Rogers auditioned for the fifth season of BET’s Sunday Best in Atlanta, where he quickly captured the hearts of fans and impressed celebrity judges like Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, and CeCe Winans. Hosted by the acclaimed artist Kirk Franklin, Rogers, known affectionately as “Young Buck,” stood out with his consistent performances, eventually becoming the first male and youngest winner of Sunday Best. This victory earned him a cash prize, a 2013 Ford Escape, a recording contract with Mathew Knowles’ Music World Gospel label, and ultimately a partnership with Mixed Bag Entertainment.
Since his triumph, Joshua Rogers has become a household name, winning the affection of gospel music fans nationwide. He has appeared as a guest vocalist on well-known TV platforms such as Praise the Lord of The Trinity Broadcasting Network, The Word Network, BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel, and The Celebration of Gospel, adding to a special tribute to the gospel music legend, James Cleveland. Additionally, Rogers has performed at the White House during Christmas on multiple occasions.
Looking ahead, Joshua has collaborated with Mixed Bag Entertainment to release a Gospel Soul Remix of “Still Gon’ Trust,” showcasing his versatile style and vocal growth. This melody will appeal to both newcomers to the song and those who value musical versatility. Rogers is undeniably leaving his mark on gospel music, as evidenced by his hometown of Manning, South Carolina, proclaiming September 13th as “Joshua Rogers Day.” Stay connected to Joshua’s journey by following him @thejoshuarogers on all social media platforms. “Still Gon’ Trust (Gospel Soul Remix)” is available on all music and streaming platforms.
