Vogel grew up in Northern California.[4] He began playing guitar and producing electronic music on his computer at the age of 15.[4][5][6] He went to Icon Collective music production school.[7][8][9] He previously went to a film school in Loyola Marymount University before deciding to pursue a musical career, prompting him to enroll in Icon Collective.[7] He began releasing future house tracks before adopting the stage name Jauz.[7] His career kickstarted when fellow musician Kennedy Jones had played one of his remixes.[7] Jones also had introduced him to his manager, Moe Shalizi which helped Vogel to release music on Borgore's record label, Buygore.[7]
