Rising Music Star Natti Vogel On The Five Things You Need To Shine In The Music Industry
An Interview With Elana Cohen, Jun 4, 2023
As a part of our interview series with leaders, stars, and rising stars in the music industry, we had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Natti Vogel.
In an airbrushed, auto-tuned era, “stunning, infectious” (Billboard) “genre-bending” (BroadwayWorld)“sticky-sweet pop star” (PAPER) Natti Vogel has to seen up-close to be believed. Vogel’s debut, the orchestral, 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 Beyoncé 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 public venues from National Sawdust to 54 Below and to packed SoHo House solo concerts on both sides of the pond. 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. He made his off-West-End debut this year in a solo show directed by Tony-winner Frances Ruffelle and most recently sold out his Joe’s Pub debut with an all-star backing chamber orchestra.
