About Me

My photo
New York, New York, United States
I attribute my success to three elements: hard work, passion and a little bit of luck. When I first heard about Rockstar INXS, a new reality show on CBS, I decided to audition. After years of trying to make it as solo artist, I thought this opportunity might provide my big break. Well, I didn’t win the competition to be the singer for INXS…I did one better and got my very own deal with Universal Classics. Born in the Philippines and raised in Sydney, Australia, I began playing the piano at age seven, but was quickly discouraged by my teacher, who informed me that without practice, I would never become a virtuoso. However, a chance meeting with a jazz musician opened up a world of possibilities! I was finally able to play the music I wanted, in the style I chose. I even wrote my own songs and played piano without having to perfect my Mozart! Who cares if I was never going to be a concert pianist? Stick that up your metronome, I was going to be a ROCKSTAR! .............................................................................. for more about me please visit my official site mig-music.com

WHEN TWO TRIBES...

I visited the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) between South and North Korea. I was amazed at the craziness of the situation. If the stupidity and hopelessness of conflict could be best exemplified, it would have to be the tension that exists in the DMZ. The Cold War here still exists. The war has not ended. It is only a cease-fire that has been in place since 1953. The Koreans are still suffering this incredible division of their people. However, this line has lasted so long, and has been so severe, that the two regions of the Korean Peninsula have become divided not only geographically, but ideologically, economically, religiously, spiritually and culturally. The South Koreans almost don't ever want to be unified with the North, as they do not want to shoulder the economic responsibility to drag them out of their quagmire. 

The Korean leg of the WWRY International Tour has been bittersweet. The burning down of the Seoul Arts Centre was a serious blow to us, forcing us to play the Seongnam Arts Centre for a short three week season only. Seongnam is close enough for the people of Seoul but far enough to discourage those who may find the commute to difficult to manage with the traffic and other common hazards. The Koreans love QUEEN and love this show. I am sorry we couldn't give the season its full potential.

I cannot wait for Singapore, our next leg of the tour. It promises to be HUGE!!

I have just arrived back home in New York and am loving being home with my family. Reunions make it all worth it. I must sign off now to enjoy it…

Hope all is great in your world!

Always,

MiG

NOW I'M HERE

I am so glad to be back at work and finally feeling better. I have hated being alone in my hotel room for hours just trying to be patient. I am the worst patient ever! It has been such great therapy to be back on stage with this amazing company of WE WILL ROCK YOU. I have to say I am disappointed with my performance on Korean TV, which can be seen on YouTube. I was quite ill will the flu while we were filming it, and you can hear my voice give out on me during 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. I actually had to go to hospital the day after filming because I was so sick. Believe me, it's so much better now, as I am over that damn flu. I wish we could do that TV show again, but hey. C'est la vie!

I actually had the chance to see a bit of Seoul today, and enjoyed the shopping experience in Dongdaemun that was truly overwhelming. I was privileged to see the gates of Dongdaemun, which were similar to the Sungnyemun Gate which were tragically destroyed by fire yesterday. The whole nation is mourning the loss of this historic site, which was one of the original gates to the Ancient city of Seoul. What makes it worse is that it looks like the fire was deliberately lit. Insane.

I am looking forward to the coming weeks of shows here in Korea! They have welcomed us with open arms and I feel very humbled by the kindness of the Korean people.

It feels great to rock the world one city at a time…

Always,

MiG

I'M GOING SLIGHTLY MAD

This flu is not funny anymore.

We finally opened in Seoul last night, and I got through the performance. I think I fooled them, as the response was sensational. However, I had to squeeze every note from somewhere deep inside, and it wasn't pretty sometimes. I have decided to take today off to give myself a good chance of recovery. My apologies to those who came to see the show today to find I was not there. This is NOT how I want to start a season, but there is nothing I can do but rest. I will be back for Tuesday's show and hopefully will be the start of my rise to health!

What won't kill you will make you stronger. This will make me Hercules.

The Koreans love their rock and are mad about their QUEEN. This is going to be an awesome tour!

Always,

MiG
