Alayna Rogers (Memphis, TN) and Alana Linsey (Los Angeles, CA), known as GAWD, emerged during the pandemic with a bang. Their debut Disco R&B single "Waistside" and a sold out debut performance in their hometown of Los Angeles launched them quickly into the spotlight.

Inspired by Outkast and Donna Summer and united by their love for Disco and R&B, GAWD's genre-bending sound celebrates the beauty of Black womanhood and perfectly reignites a genre known for its bold glam, unapologetic freedom and brazen good times .
Their recent single “Two Hot” debut to stellar reception including placements on Fresh Finds, New in R&B and more. Their highly anticipated debut EP, Cathedral City, releases this September, and it's sure to be a transformative musical journey.
