About Me

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

BLAME CANADA

I have just spent the last 10 days in Vancouver, working with gun producer Jeff Dawson and the unstoppable Mike Fraser on a couple of tracks. We worked in Bryan Adams studio THE WAREHOUSE, and it was so awesome to be in a world-class studio again. Making music in the studio is something I want to do for the rest of my life. The songs sound great and I can’t wait to play them to everyone. I will have them up for all to hear very, very soon. Stay tuned…

I have to say how incredible Vancouver is. The mountains are SO spectacular and the snow capped peaks that surround the city bring a sense of awe to every waking moment in this amazing city. The people are so friendly and the city has a real funky hip vibe to it. Literally a hop ski and a jump away from great skiing fields, it was kind of painful for me to be so close and yet not have the time to ski! Haven’t been skiing since 2004, and I am having withdrawls. So close and yet so far. I will have to come back and do this place properly…and Whistler!

Am about to board my plane bound for New York so I should sign off now. I hope all is great in your world. Can you believe we’re at the end of March?!! What the…?! I swear someone is speeding up the clock.

Thanks Vancouver.

It’s up to you, New York, New York…

Always love,

MiG
