Vogel’s debut, the orchestral yet saucy “Serving Body” was hailed by OUT, Billboard, Huffington Post, and more as an inimitable and masterful must-listen. His viral music video, Brown Rice was a nominee for Queerty’s Best Music Video of 2018, and PAPER magazine included his song, I Don’t Want to Find the One on their list of Top 100 Songs of 2018 next to Beyonce and Jay-Z.
But Vogel’s passionate following owes itself mostly to his inimitable, addictive live performance style. International critics from Shanghai Magazine to Information Magazine in Denmark have commented on both his R&B/classical/theatre chops and a magnetic connection with the crowd, which through word of mouth alone has sold out venues from National Sawdust to 54 Below. He has spent the pandemic crafting an album with a brand-new sound (coming soon) in West Hollywood where he was awarded the city’s performer-artist grant in 2021. Producing and directing his London debut is Frances Ruffelle, the original Tony-winning Eponine from Les Misérables, Eurovision veteran and avid playwright (she is currently workshopping works co-written with both Vogel and Alan Cumming).
