Career
Pre-Blossoms
Ogden was part of a band called The Kinky Fridays in which Joe Donovan was the drummer. In 2009, Ogden formed the band Save The Mastersound with his friend Kyle Ross. The band lasted three and a half years before splitting in April 2013.[6]
Blossoms
Since 2013, Ogden has been part of the band Blossoms alongside Josh Dewhurst, Joe Donovan, Myles Kellock and Charlie Salt.[7][8] Ogden is the primary songwriter in the group, contributing lead vocals, guitars and keyboards. The band have released five studio albums, four of which have reached number one in the UK Albums Chart.[9]
Other musical ventures
Ogden has songwriting credits on Miles Kane's 2023 album "One Man Band", co-writing and providing backing vocals on the tracks "Troubled Son", "The Wonder" and "Heal" with Kane.[10][11]
He was a member of the UK Jury for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, alongside Liz McClarnon, Afrodeutsche, Mark Lippmann and Carl Parris.[12]
Business ventures
Ogden and his wife Katie opened Bohemian Arts Club in Stockport in May 2023, housing a cocktail bar across the first and second floors and a hair salon on the ground floor, inspired by the pair's experiences of bars they visited whilst touring with Blossoms. In September 2025, it was announced that the cocktail bar would close in order to allow the salon to expand. The bar's final day of operation was on 3 October 2025.[13][14]
