Welcome to Michael D. Vogel’s online portfolio. I am a Los Angeles-based music journalist/content creator, and self-professed music-fanatic/radio-aholic. With more than 20 years of experience in multiple facets of the music industry including; music programming/air talent for terrestrial and internet radio as well as record label artist promotion, I have a finger on the pulse of what's new and under the radar in the emerging music scene. Areas of specific expertise include, but not limited to: rock (heritage, mainstream, heavy metal/hard rock and alternative), pop and adult contemporary, as well as radio, pop culture, sports, exercise and politics.
