About Me

-------- Natti Vogel was born on a snowy morning in Boston on the same birthday as both David Bowie and Elvis Presley. Of the two, he'd clearly prefer the fate of the former, but will totally take whatever the rockstar gods decide to give him. As a child, Natti Vogel would get beaten up by his older, insensitive brother, and from this he garnered oh so much healthy angst. In 3rd grade, Natti involved every single one of his classmates in a world called CHAKU which had its own language, currency, and monthly fair. At 14, he successfully changed the name of his former elementary school. At 15, he left his hometown of Cambridge, MA to found the first Shakespeare company in Xi'an, China, whose production of "Twelfth Night" won first prize in a local university drama competition. At 18, in his first year of college, Natti started a very dysfunctional band which won his university's Battle of the Bands, and promptly broke up afterwards. Messy.Now, Natti is 20. He adores infecting others with joie de vivre and playing passionate sets of original music for anyone and everyone.
