“Proper Is Both a Subjective and Universal Term”: An Infectious Conversation With the Magnetic Natti Vogel - By AJ Kiehner, Friday, November 24, 2023
In advance of his long-awaited return to National Sawdust, I was eager to meet and speak with the chameleon composer, polyglot, and cabaret stalwart Natti Vogel. Donning an appropriately effervescent orange shirt, Natti hopped onto the Google Meet video call with a bubbly “heyyy there!”—exactly as marvelous as I anticipated.
After our standard salutations, Natti dished that he’d just returned home from a trip to England, predominantly traveling to Cambridge for a stay of relaxation and writing (though, he confessed that it was heavy on the relaxation, as he spent a decent amount of time watching Doctor Who). Despite a bit of jetlag, he was delighted to jump into a conversation about his December 15 National Sawdust performance of “A ‘Proper’ Natti Vogel Concert,” and was more than game for what turned into a equally giggly and introspective chit chat about social justice, whales, artistic inspiration, and much more.
