As a child Rogers grew his musical interest generally through living with his mother, Halley, stepfather John and younger sister Carlie. His sons were Dylan, Marley; and Miles Rogers had a big influence on his life and Dogboy kept his kids in check and taught them well.[1] Originally he became interested in roots reggae while living in Hermosa Beach.
Along with bass guitarist Lazy Dread, Dog Boy created Too Rude.[2] As time went by Dog Boy became more known for working on the Kottonmouth Kings' first three albums as a featured artist writing such hits as "On the Run" and "Dog's Life" which was featured on the soundtrack for 1999 film, Lost & Found. Whilst in this process Dogboy recorded the debut Too Rude which was released with Suburban Noize Records on 4 April 2000.[3]
After the first album, the second Re-Invention was not released until 26 October 2004.[4]
With Rogers' success, he originally planned to work as a solo artist. Rebel Riddim was released on 3 April 2007. It reached #11 on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart.[5]
Dog Boy recorded guest vocals on the Ditch song, "Legalize", in 2008 on Ditch's album, Public Intoxication.
