Bogi Orbán-Ducos is a jazz vocalist and songwriter based in Boston. Originally from Budapest, Hungary, she studied classical piano for most of her life before discovering jazz. She began her undergraduate studies as a classical piano major at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and later transitioned into a Jazz Voice Performance degree midway through her program.

During her time in Montreal, she performed regularly at Upstairs Jazz Bar, received a Downbeat Student Award as a member of a small vocal ensemble, and began writing and performing her own original music. She recently relocated to Boston, where she is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Jazz Vocal Performance at the New England Conservatory.

Her musical approach centers on deeply expressive storytelling, and a full, resonant voice drawing inspiration from artists such as Dianne Reeves, Shirley Horn, Lizz Wright, Montreal’s own Ranee Lee, as well as jazz legends Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae.
