Biography

The Danish Music Award-winning vocalist Alex Vargas was born to a Uruguayan father and a Danish-English mother in Hørsholm, Denmark, on February 17, 1988. After relocating to London at 17 years old, he formed the major-label band Vagabond and cracked the Top 40 with the band's debut album, You Don't Know the Half of It, in 2008. He left the group in 2010 and briefly performed with the trance band Above & Beyond, contributing heavily as a co-writer and vocalist to the band's 2015 release We Are All We Need. Meanwhile, he also launched a solo career with the singles "Till Forever Runs Out" and "Solid Ground," the latter of which appeared on his gold-certified EP, Giving Up the Ghost, in 2015. "Shackled Up," another track from the same release, became his first significant solo hit, climbing to Number 26 in Denmark and eventually going platinum. One year later, he was named "Danish Artist of the Year" and the Danish Music Awards. A full-length solo album, Cohere, was released in 2017 and climbed to Number 11 in Denmark. That same year, he co-wrote "Beautiful Mess," Bulgaria's entry in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest. Two EPs, superEGO and EGOtrip, followed in 2019, and Alex Vargas returned to the Danish Top 40 for the first time in five years with 2021's "Police Bells & Church Sirens."
