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

SINGAPORE FLING

Tonight we open WE WILL ROCK YOU in Singapore. I am truly excited about playing to audiences here in the magnificent Esplanade Theatre. This building is incredible! It breathes, it moves, it thinks and tonight it's going to ROCK! Everything so far has gone super smooth here (knock on wood). The crew are well oiled and the cast are pumped. I feel in great health despite some jet-lagging, and am almost breathless with anticipation!

Singapore has impressed in ways that I did not even expect. I knew I loved Singapore, but now this love has grown to jaw-dropping awe, maybe even jealousy. How come everything here works so well, so modern, so clean yet they are also able to retain the important historical aspects of the city that has made it what it is today. The weather is humid and PERFECT! The people are so overwhelmingly beautiful in attitude and truly in every way. I am yet to find a kink in the armour...

Overture, light the lights, this is it, we'll hit the heights, and oh what heights we'll hit...
On with the show this is it!!

Ya-ba-di, ya-ba-di, here we go again...

Always,

MiG

ALIENS IN NEW YORK

Ok. Here's the deal. I'm having a great time off with my family in New York City. This city never stops. It never stops surprising me, entertaining me, feeding(!) me, energising AND draining me, empowering me and loving me back. I have had time to totally disengage and rearrange myself. 10 days left before I fly to Singapore. I am so looking forward to the Singapore leg of WE WILL ROCK YOU but am LOVING being home too. Nice to call New York 'HOME'.

I even had time to do a gig for the Australian Stock Exchange at THE AUSTRALIAN pub on 38th Street in NYC. I put together a super kick-ass band and rocked the night away. So nice to get back to my 'rock-roots' and just have a true blow-out. I miss doing those balls-to-the-wall gigs. I hope to do more when I get back to NY.

I got the chance to see one of the best Aussie comics around at the moment doing his show at the New World Stages in NY. TIM MINCHIN is incredible. No word of a lie, you have to see him before he becomes a huge international superstar. I don't want to give too much away, but in his own words he is 'so God-damn rock'!

I also was surprised to get totally hooked on a new TV show, AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW and am the hugest fan of a group called JabbaWockeez. They're routines have been so mind-blowing from day one, but their routine to Michael Jackson's 'P.Y.T.' totally killed me! So proud to see some Filipinos in that group, just being champions!

OK, so Aussies and Filipinos EVERYWHERE! How awesome is that?!

Sorry about my nerdy enthusiasm, but I get inspired by brilliance.

Always,

MiG
