Professional career

In 2003, Rogers co-founded the magazine Smoke: a London Peculiar. [12] [13] After working as reviews editor on The Word , she became a full-time freelancer in 2007. [8]

She has been a judge on several music prize panels, [4] including the Welsh Music Prize [10] [14] and the Mercury Prize, [10] and was one of ten experts chosen to write for the University of Westminster's MusicTank 10:10 project, writing about the future of music journalism. [4] [15]

In 2022, Rogers published The Sound of Being Human: How Music Shapes Our Lives, an account of the emotional and psychological impact of music. Reviewing the book, Ian Rankin wrote "Too often we treat popular music as wallpaper surrounding us as we live our lives. Jude Rogers shows the emotional and cerebral heft such music can have. It's a personal journey which becomes universal. Fascinating." [17] [18]
