Who is Alex Vargas?

Alex Vargas is a singer, guitarist and songwriter born in Gentofte, Denmark on February 17, 1988 to an English mother and Uruguayan father.

Alex relocated to London at age 17 to pursue his musical career. After having toured the UK club circuit playing in excess of 120 shows and self releasing the EP entitled "Alex Vargas", he was signed to Geffen Records in 2008 and formed the band Vagabond. The band released their Xenomania produced debut album, You Don't Know the Half of It on August 17, 2009 entering the UK album charts at number 27.

The UK press has compared Alex to a younger Steve Winwood and Robert Palmer due to his vocals having similar deep and bluesy qualities. They described the band's sound as "blue-eyed" soul rock.

Paul Lester from The Guardian said:‘..In Alex Vargas they've got a frontman who just happens to have one of the most impressive white soul voices since Michael Hutchence, Steve Winwood and Robert Palmer.’

Throughout 2009, Vagabond toured the UK selling out two headline UK tours and supporting artists such as James Morrison and The Script. Vagabond also performed at the Glastonbury, T in the Park and V music festivals in the UK.
