About Me

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 YOU'RE A JET

Just came back from watching my first American Football game: New York Jets versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The Jets fans are CRAZY!! It was a real education for me. I actually started to understand what the hoo-has is all about. It’s not rugby, but the basic elements are the same. DOG EAT DOG! 2 TRIBES GO TO WAR!! I’ve got to say I found it quite disconcerting that people would “boo!” their own team if they made a mistake! Wow. What happened to sportsmanship? But I guess I still have much to understand with that kind of thing. I am glad the Jets came through in the end. It would have been a blood-bath if they didn’t!

I have been busy ever since coming back from New Zealand. We are moving apartments again, so as you can imagine, CHAOS! However we are looking forward to a better place. A new beginning, new possibilities, new life.

New Zealand was great. The North Shore of Auckland is beautifully spectacular. Walking on the beach there was so good for the soul. Despite it being cold as, it was sweet as! I loved playing with my little band of amazingly talented musicians. They blew me away. I have to congratulate all those involved with the Health Industry Awards with such a great event.

I have been seeing a lot of Broadway shows, EQUUS (brilliant), MARY POPPINS (my good friend Adam Fiorentino has just taken over the lead of ‘Burt’…onya mate!), ROCK OF AGES (with Constantine Maroulis….awesome fun!) and am seeing WICKED (another friend Kerry Ellis is playing the lead) later next week. It inspires me to see people do their thing and the quality of work on Broadway is incredible. Makes me think that I would like to do that some time…

Just wanted to say hi. Am off to Beijing, China next week. Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Halloween. And for those who are voting in the upcoming US elections, I hope you are at peace with your decision and are well informed about your candidate of choice. The world depends on your decision.

On that note,

Until next time,

MiG
