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

Georges Yared

It is with a very heavy heart that I must write about the loss of my very, very dear and wonderful friend, Georges Yared, who passed away very suddenly this morning at his home in Minneapolis. Very seldom do you find someone that is so full of love and warmth that every meeting with that person is an experience you will never forget. I have so many fond and vivid memories of Georges, that I am finding myself so totally in shock and disbelief that someone who shone so bright is no longer with us. From the moment we became friends in London so many years ago, Georges never stopped expressing his love for life, his family and for the endless possibilities that life presents us. He always found the beauty in everyone and everything and his enthusiasm was contagious.

Thousands would seek his financial wisdom by logging on to his website, hearing him on the radio and reading his books. His magnetic personality was heading towards a career in front of the cameras. You couldn’t escape the feeling that we still had not seen the best of Georges.

He leaves behind his wife Cindy and his two beautiful children Ally and Joey. My thoughts and prayers are with them at this very difficult time. May the love from those around you comfort you, and know that in many ways he will always be with you.

Georges was my friend. His generosity and love inspires me to live my life as he lived it. Every day was the best day of his life, and his family was his life.

I will always hold you in my heart Georges. I love you and will miss you terribly.

Always,

MiG

Dearest Mig, I finnaly found a way to reach you. I just wanted to say thank you so much for flying all that way to sing at my brothers funeral. You did an amazing job and I am sure that he was looking down with such pride that you did such an amazing thing in his honor. I also wanted to thank you for the beatiful words you said about him on your site, he was pretty amazing, and you wrote such a great tribute to him. thank you for everything
