Next, They’ll be heating up stages across the country this fall as direct support on DNCE’s North American headline tour. The entire itinerary is available below.

The group just wrapped up a string of much talked-about CMJ shows. Simultaneously, press have been raving about the EP’s sizzling, seductive, and scorching first single “Hot.” They followed up it up with the EP’s title track “Legendary,” which also reached the top of HypeMachine.

The pair continues to rack up impressive numbers on Spotify. “Beat of My Drum” exceeds 8 million plays, while “Loved By You” recently surpassed 3 million.  As writers, Mike Del Rio and Crista Ru have been behind songs for the pop powerhouses such as Kylie Minogue, X Ambassadors, and Selena Gomez. However, POWERS is what happens when they get together and really run wild musically. The first time POWERS formally got the mic was on “Classic” a collaboration for The Knocks’ So Classic EP, which Del Rio executive produced. In 2015, they released “Beat of My Drum,” which topped Hype Machine and Spotify’s Viral Chart and saw them receive iTunes Emerging Artists Spotlight.

About The Author

Dean Rogers

Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter

I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!

My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.

Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.

As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.

All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
