Roger Michael is celebrated for transforming London’s nightlife from the late 1980s onwards, infusing glamour and excitement into a previously lackluster scene. He established London as a premier destination for unforgettable nightlife experiences. In 1987, Roger began his transformative journey, organising unforgettable warehouse and private house parties during the vibrant “Second Summer of Love” and the rise of acid house rave parties in Britain. In 1988, he introduced his first upscale weekly club night at Wall Street, a private members’ club in Mayfair. This marked the beginning of his journey as a game changer, introducing four groundbreaking club night concepts that revolutionised London’s nightlife. Roger was the first promoter to master the art of orchestrating four unique club nights weekly, each achieving remarkable success: Wednesdays at Embargo in Chelsea, ‘The Next Big Thing’ on Thursdays at Hanover Grand, ‘Atomic Model’ on Fridays at Iceni in Mayfair, and ‘Champagne Charlie’ on Saturdays at Browns in Covent Garden. He revolutionised table bottle service for premium alcohol brands, a concept that became synonymous with luxury nightlife experiences. In February 1995, The Independent featured his "The Next Big Thing" Thursday nights at Hanover Grand, praising the concept as a “hybrid of Handbag House, dancefloor anthems, and a live band. The queue outside was fashionably long, but once inside, the vibe was uplifting and sociable.” In June, he received the “Longest Guest List” award at the Virgin Energy London Club and Bar Awards for his “Atomic Model” Fridays at Iceni. In June 1996, Roger’s “Champagne Charlie” Saturdays at Browns earned him the “Best Night” award at the Champagne Piper London Club and Bar Awards. The Telegraph Magazine’s special issue “London Gets Hip” featured him as a “highly regarded promoter, whose events are renowned for their style and glamour." In February 1997, The Independent hailed him as “London’s most successful promoter.” In June, he was honoured with the CK Calvin Klein Jeans London Club and Bar Awards “Best Night” award for his “The Next Big Thing” Thursdays at Hanover Grand. Roger revolutionised traditional door policies, introducing guestlist-only entry and disrupting dress codes to create an inclusive atmosphere. He set a new standard for exclusivity, with an unprecedented £20 admission fee, a benchmark in club entry fees. His visionary contributions have left a lasting impact on the industry, inspiring others to push boundaries and elevate the nightlife experience. Roger’s innovative club night concepts achieved legendary status, attracting Hollywood A-list celebrities and influential personalities. Renowned for their exceptional and distinctive moments, his events consistently raised the standards of excellence, making an indelible mark on London’s nightlife culture. In February 1998, The Face Magazine featured Roger in its “12 Times-Able” edition special, highlighting his remarkable talent for “enhancing credibility and his role as one of the famous characters fine-tuning the stars in the spotlight, tweaking their records, restyling their thatches, and choosing their sneakers.” Simultaneously, The Independent featured Roger’s “The Next Big Thing” Thursday nights as a “noteworthy occasion where patrons sport designer gear, you’re just as likely to see funky urban fashions. The night maintains a strong aspirational attraction (Ian Wright, Elle MacPherson, Mariah Carey, Jason Kay, and Bruce Willis are just a few of the visiting celebrities) while remaining unpretentious.” In March 1998, The Sunday Times Style Magazine acknowledged Roger as one of the top go-to fixers who organise the social lives of homesick celebrities, further solidifying his reputation as a trusted and influential figure within the industry. With his unparalleled ability to bring together diverse and international crowds, Roger created a winning formula that forever transformed London’s approach to nightlife entertainment. His creative vision and the consistent success of his innovative club nights over the past three decades highlight his significant contribution to shaping and defining London’s vibrant nightlife culture. In May 1998, German GQ published a special London edition of “Cool Britannia,” featuring Roger Michael, Tony Blair, then prime minister of England, and other British figures in its cover story. Throughout the 1990s, Roger was renowned for his iconic club nights, such as ‘The Next Big Thing Thursdays’ at Hanover Grand. In the following decade, he masterminded the highly acclaimed ‘I AM ROCKSTAR Tuesdays’ at Boujis members’ club in South Kensington. Launched in 2003 and running until 2012, these exclusive events became the epitome of music, jet-set lifestyle, and exclusivity. They attracted significant media coverage and were a hotspot for A-list celebrities from various industries—actors to music tycoons, pop figures to rock legends. Roger’s meticulous curation fostered an atmosphere of unmatched glamour and excitement, establishing a nightlife sensation that drew global attention. In 2004, Roger’s influence extended to Paris, where he spent a year partly living and bringing his expertise to the vibrant Parisian nightlife scene. Promoting and hosting Fridays at Man Ray, off the iconic Champs-Élysées, he continued to make his mark in London with renowned nights on Tuesdays at Boujis and Thursdays at Kabarets Prophecy, solidifying his position as a key figure in both cities’ nightlife scenes. Roger’s captivating Tuesdays at Boujis gained immense popularity, catching the attention of media and celebrities alike. An Evening Standard article in 2006 described the nights as “A favourite with Princes William and Harry that is also adored by models, Eurotrash and Hollywood types, including Mickey Rourke.” In 2009, NineMSN.com travel highlighted “Boujis in Kensington as a globally renowned hotspot for the rich and famous, with Roger’s Tuesday nights being the most popular.” According to the article, the nights were popular with celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and Uma Thurman. Roger’s influence was further recognised in April that year when he was listed among the Evening Standard’s London’s 1000 Most Influential People of 2009. During 2009, Roger expanded the ‘I AM ROCKSTAR’ brand overseas, licensing 'I AM ROCKSTAR' daytime & nighttime party concept to premium European venues. These included esteemed locations like Le Bar du Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, Coxy Box in Cannes, Carpe Diem Beach Hvar in Croatia, the 400 Club in Dubai, and Blue Marlin Ibiza Abu Dhabi in the UAE. This expansion showcased Roger’s ability to curate exceptional nightlife experiences on an international scale. In 2010, Roger’s reputation continued to soar when restaurateur Marlon Abela appointed him as the creative director of the Night Lounge at Morton’s private members’ club in Berkeley Square. This position allowed him to further shape London’s nightlife scene with his innovative vision. In June of the same year, the Evening Standard once again recognised Roger Michael’s influence and impact by naming him one of London’s 1000 Most Influential People. The year 2012 brought significant achievements for Roger. His “I AM ROCKSTAR Tuesdays” at Boujis received the prestigious “Best Longest-Running Night” award at the London Club and Bar Awards, a testament to almost nine years of unparalleled success. Roger then embarked on new ambitious projects, concluding I AM ROCKSTAR’s residency at Boujis to explore fresh opportunities for the brand’s continued evolution and growth. Roger’s remarkable contribution to the nightlife industry was celebrated with the “Outstanding Achievement” award at the London Club & Bar Awards in June 2012. That same year, he was honoured as the “Runner-up” in the London Lifestyle Awards’ “Personality of The Year” category, second only to London’s Mayor Boris Johnson. Roger’s influence on the nightlife scene extended beyond his iconic club nights. He curated evenings at venues across London, including The Embassy Club (Mayfair), Roberto’s (Kings Road), Stocks (formerly Wedgies), The Pheasantry (Kings Road), Raffles (Kings Road), The Leopard Lounge (Fulham Broadway), Amika (Kensington High Street), Berkeley Playhouse (Berkeley Street, Mayfair), and The Mayfair Club (Mayfair). Other notable venues where he left his mark included Maddox (Mayfair), Pangaea (Green Park), The Emporium (Off Regent St), Tantra Club (Off Regent St), Jalouse (Hanover Square), The Monkey Business (Covent Garden Piazza), and The Yacht Club (Embankment Pier, Westminster).

In June 1998, Roger took a significant step in his career when he was recruited by the public relations firm, Astrid Sutton Associates, to work on behalf of the iconic designer Vivienne Westwood. His mission was to procure and supply A-list celebrities for the highly anticipated international launch of Vivienne Westwood’s debut fragrance, Boudoir, at a prestigious cocktail reception and dinner held at the renowned Gatliff Road Depot in London. In addition to expertly handling celebrity guest relations, Roger meticulously coordinated the exclusive gifting of Boudoir to the celebrity attendees post-event. In February 1999, as part of her U.S. team, Vivienne Westwood once again engaged Roger’s expertise to launch her debut U.S. store at 71 Greene Street, New York City. Alongside her debut U.S. fashion show and Red Label launch, Roger co-hosted her red-carpet cocktail reception and dinner, an after-party at The Cow in the Meatpacking District to commemorate these milestone events. In September of that year, Next Management London’s co-founding directors, Lorenzo Pedrini and Stefano Checchi, entrusted Roger with planning a red-carpet cocktail reception and dinner, along with an after-party hosted by supermodel Adriana Sklenaříková. The events celebrated the launch of the UK outpost. The cocktail reception and dinner took place at Thai Square Restaurant and Bar in Trafalgar Square, while the after-party was held at Chinawhite Club on Air Street off Regent Street. Additionally, Roger provided celebrity and VIP guest relations services, ensuring a seamless experience for all attendees. Fast forward to 2001, and Vivienne Westwood once again assigned Roger the task of procuring and supplying A-list celebrities for the inaugural Moët and Chandon’s Fashion Tribute at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, where Vivienne Westwood was the first designer to be honoured.

In August 2012, Roger Michael collaborated with TAO Group Hospitality from the U.S., as they engaged his agency, I AM ROCKSTAR, to curate exclusive guestlists and guest relations services for the “Club Bud Presents Marquee and TAO’s Two-Night-Only” events. These high-profile events celebrated NBA Team USA's final weekend at the London Olympics, featuring headline performances by Swizz Beatz and Nas at The Roundhouse. Later that year, in November, Roger Michael’s agency organised David Wertheimer’s exclusive 24th birthday cocktail and dinner event at Coya Mayfair, followed by his after-party at Annabel’s in Mayfair. The following year, Coya appointed Roger Michael as their in-house marketing manager for the private members’ club, while he continued to serve his long-term clients through I AM ROCKSTAR. His steadfast commitment to London’s nightlife earned him the prestigious and inaugural ‘Service to The Industry’ award at the 2013 London Club and Bar Awards. In 2015, Roger expanded his influence by joining Miami-based InList Inc. as an Advisory Board Member and City Ambassador. Leveraging their app, he facilitated access to exclusive nightlife venues, events, concerts, and unique experiences across 45 cities globally. Roger’s passion for enhancing London’s nightlife scene led him to throw his hat in the ring for London’s first “night czar” position in 2016—a position proposed by Mayor Sadiq Khan—garnering attention from the Evening Standard.
