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,

Team MiG
