Jogia was born on Feb. 9, 1992, in Vancouver, Canada, to Wendy and Mike Jogia. He has an older brother, Ketan, who is a music producer. He attended Killarney Secondary School and left at the age of 17 to pursue his acting career. Jogia then moved to Los Angeles with a strict six-month timeline to kick off the rest of his career.
“I like timelines and due dates. I think without a deadline that you really respect, you can’t get anything done,” hetold FLAUNT magazine. “If I had come out here and sort of didn’t know exactly that I had 6 months to get this done, I think I may have mingled around here for a few years and maybe tried it. I need the pressure of something forthcoming to really kick it into gear.”

“I don’t look back on [Nickelodeon] fondly, but I do think it’s interesting to see just what it means to people,” he said. “It’s touching, but also it’s out of your control. I feel like I represent sadness for people because they can sort of look at me and be like, ‘Oh, right. I remember when I used to be young and things weren’t so complicated.’ It’s like, I represent an uncomplicated time. Sometimes I think that I have a strong desire to keep that image safe for them.”

Jogia put on the director’s hat for the first time in 2023 with the release of the thrillerDoor Mouse. The film highlighted the story of a young comic book writer, Mouse, who dances at a burlesque club.
He initially wrote the script when he was 23 years old from a “place of frustration” with Hollywood’s perception of Brown actors.
“This was born out of not feeling very much agency in the film industry, especially as an actor of color,” he toldTeen Vogue. “I was looking to find parts that I felt like I could dig a little deeper into as an actor and train myself to give good performances and improve as an actor.”
“Good parts are hard enough to get ahold of, you know, regardless of [diversity],” he continued. “And then you ask, how many films looking for a brown man are made a year? Of those roles, how many see me for that part? So I was frustrated and I wanted to find agency, so I started writing.”
