MiG Ayesa: Refreshed and Re-Energized

MiG Ayesa has reason for a fresh, newfound energy, and what better time for MiG's music career to blossom than when spring bursts on the scene in New York City. MiG Ayesa recently recorded tracks at Bryan Adams' studio in Vancouver, Canada, has regular gigs at Eight Mile Creek in New York, and will be traveling to the United Kingdom in mid-May. While in the UK, MiG will take a prominent place on stage for the Queen Symphonic Spectacular in Bournemouth on May 15 and 16.

All of these activities and events are reasons for MiG to be excited - but it doesn't end there. MiG signed a cool partnership deal with 42 Below and the Brat Agency. The Brat Agency has shown fresh, innovative ideas and a spunk and style all its own. As for 42 Below, it can really pack a punch and make an impact - in more ways than one. The partnership, or "rock and roll cocktail" as they call it, has the potential to make a big splash on the music scene.

MiG rocks the house


MiG Ayesa brings something to the table that turns heads - a gorgeous voice, versatility and a special ability to connect with people. On numerous occasions, people who were diehard fans of other artists came to see MiG perform, met him, and suddenly put MiG at the top of their list of favorite artists. He makes quite an impression. MiG doesn't care what people look like, how old or young they are, or what they wear. He reaches people. That gift is no less impressive than the musical ability he was given. The gifts are so intertwined that it's impossible to separate the two, and it would be wrong to try. Whether MiG is belting out pedal to the medal rock and roll, delivering a shot of alternative rock, or ripping your heart out with a deep and expressive ballad, you know when he gets off stage he's going to be a guy who deserves your undying loyalty.

MiG has worked with a lot of talented people, from Brian May of Queen to Matthew Wilder, from Paul Buckmaster to Peter Frampton, just to name a few. A lot of great things have come from those relationships. One was MiG's starring role in the wildly popular We Will Rock You. Another is a fabulous debut album (Universal/Decca), "MiG," that's a thing of beauty. Beautiful voice, beautiful interpretation, beautiful arrangements. If you don't yet have it, I highly recommend it. It's the perfect introduction to getting to know MiG, and experiencing the twist and flavor he adds to classic songs. Then you'll be able to better appreciate the personality that will be coming through as he ventures into his original creations. You can get the CD from MiG's Store at mig-music.com.

For MiG, the sky's the limit


There's certainly an array of exceptional accomplishments for MiG to build on. If he remains true to the person he is, the sky's the limit. It appears 42 Below and the Brat Agency recognize MiG's potential, and it will be a terrific mix. It's going to be one refreshing "rock and roll cocktail" that creates quite a buzz.

This is an exciting opportunity for MiG to shine. At the right time, one's dreams can grow from unrealistic, to realistic, to realized, and something tells me MiG is close to realizing his dreams. Things have a way of working out when you let go and believe.

Keep the light shining and pass it on,

MiG Ayesa: Star Qualities

MiG Ayesa has experienced a wealth of sparkling moments in his music career. He has performed for a worldwide TV audience, filled auditoriums for We Will Rock You, and mesmerized live crowds with his original songs.

Even with all of MiG Ayesa's impressive achievements, some may think he isn't yet a "star." There are those who define a star as someone who makes millions of dollars in the entertainment industry. Others say it's someone with an enormous fan base. Still others would argue it's someone with expensive clothes and jewelry.

I view it differently. To me, five qualities make a true star...

1. A star has blazing talent.
MiG has an incredibly beautiful voice that stands on its own. One moment he can rock you to the core, and the next sing a touching ballad that makes your eyes well up with tears. And MiG's gifts for playing the keyboard and songwriting make for a powerful combination.

2. A star has an endless glow.
It comes from within, because through the arts one can express feelings, thoughts and experiences that words sometimes can't convey. There's a passion MiG has for music and performing that's a joy to see. It warms everyone around him.

3. A star illuminates even the darkest of nights.
When an artist has integrity and feels what he's singing, you can open your heart to the words and melodies. So many people have found MiG and his original music to be a source of healing and hope. When you meet him, you'll know what I mean.

4. A star never stops reaching to light a new corner of the sky.
A key to new discovery is exploring boundaries and stretching the limits of talent and ability. No matter how big a star gets, understanding that there's always more to learn leads to unimagined new heights. MiG has collaborated with other artists, tried new things, and continues to build on his talents.

5. A star shines the brightest when the world isn't watching.
The most brilliant display of the night sky appears when the world sleeps, and it's the same with people. Those in the limelight may smile when there's a camera in sight, but how they relate to people one-on-one reveals their character. A star realizes that behind every clap and cheer is a living, beating heart much like his own. MiG has made each person he's met feel special. The smile is genuine, the hug heartfelt.

In every way that really matters, MiG is already a star. No one shines brighter than he does. Everyone doesn't know it yet, but they will.

Keep the light shining and pass it on,
