MiG Ayesa: On Stage or On His Own?

People around the world have been treated to seeing MiG Ayesa perform in a role onstage. Most recently, he brought the house down as Galileo in the high-octane rock concert also known as We Will Rock You. In his leading role, MiG performed from England to New Zealand, from South Korea to Singapore, from Hong Kong to Thailand.

Audiences couldn't help but notice that MiG's stage presence, professionalism and outstanding vocals made every show memorable. Many people attended multiple performances, and MiG delivered every time. He showed some moves I hadn't seen before! When you can see such talent and hear amazing music like that of Queen in We Will Rock You, it's an experience too spectacular to miss.

But what about the other side of MiG...the side when he reveals the passion he has for singing songs he's written, or collaborated with other talented songwriters to create? MiG has been in bands his whole life, and the desire to become an international recording artist has burned inside of him for a long time. He made prime time by being on Rockstar: INXS, and he's beyond ready for more prime time. His debut album, "MiG," included three originals that consistently got rave reviews. His vocal range is stunning, and oh that lower register. It's mesmerizing. MiG has so many layers, with an equal ability to rock the lights out and convey an irresistible tenderness in a ballad.

There's something about hearing MiG singing his own music live - you feel as though he's sharing his heart with you. He connects with each person in the audience, and reaches deep into your soul with his lyrics, melodies and personality. You really feel something, just as he feels every word, every note. You believe the words he's singing to everyone. He takes you somewhere you've never been before. And you want to go back, again and again. You ache for the next performance, the next song.

Feeling the music


If MiG chose to perform in New York on Broadway, I'd do my best to be in the first row, enthusiastically taking in a stellar performance. It could be nothing less than stellar, because MiG strives for perfection and gives it all he has every night. As great as MiG would be on stage again, I'd also long for the nights he's living his dream, singing his own songs and taking each person with him on an unforgettable musical journey. A heart like that should be shared.

Pass it on,

Team MiG
