Beyond the music, artists always have a message to share with the world, whether it’s a tale of perseverance, affluence, or any anthem they hope to raise through their art. For rapper and songwriter BonezRoger Alorde, that message is clear—one must not let their detours derail them from their biggest dreams. 

Roger, a.k.a. BonezRoger Alorde, is a hip-hop artist with a talent that has put him on the general masses’ radar for some time now. His music is electric, and his presence is dominant. But behind the rhythms, rhymes, and good times is a story of perseverance and a reminder that no one is smaller than their past if they allow themselves to move past their failures and bad decisions.

No one understands that quite like BonezRoger. The artist has gone through the fiercest of trials throughout his life. At a young age, he escaped his hometown of Port-au-Prince in Haiti after a threat to his life sent him overseas. He witnessed the murder of his father, Guaryl Roger, when his senior was only thirty-three years old. After his father’s murderer chased after him and tried to take his life as well, his family knew that their only chance of survival was to get out. 

Roger’s mother and the family would move to the United States and landed in Miami, Florida, back in 2002. A new life awaited them, but a few more wrong turns would cause more detours in BonezRoger’s life. He would end up on the streets working for a crime syndicate and getting into all kinds of illegal activities before he became legally independent. That would land him in juvenile prison for a year early on. 

Through the waves and turmoil, one thing that remained constant for BonezRoger Alorde was music. He started rapping at the age of eleven and treated hip-hop as his therapy. Through the changing times, music became a solace, as he would also influence others through music. Times would remain hard as he lost a college athletic scholarship to a standing case and trial that almost got him deported. But Roger decided that it was time for a change, and he wanted to pursue music full-time.

Since school was such a burden for BonezRoger Alorde, he turned instead to his networking abilities to get ahead. He started building connections with other musicians and music executives. Soon, he would be brushing shoulders with  Grammy-winning producer Kevin Carbo, who has worked with Universal, Justin Bieber, Dababy, and others. In November 2019, the two penned an agreement, and Carbo helped Alorde launch a career in rap.

Today, BonezRoger Alorde’s songs propagate through social channels and streaming platforms. Some of his hard-hitting tracks include “Won’t Give Up My Soul,” “Go All The Way,” “Dark Side,” “Who’s Really Bad,” “INVIDIOUS,” “Die In Your Z,” “Things You Do,” “Make Em Choose,” and many more.

Despite fighting for his life and freedom and making some wrong turns along the way, BonezRoger Alorde stands high and mighty and is out to prove that anyone can rise above the hardships and design a better life for themselves.
