Being in the Final Three for Rockstar:Inxs is really not where the road
started for MiG, but just the continuation of a career that started in
Sydney, Australia. Having been in many bands throughout high school,
MiG (aka Miguel Ayesa) started his professional performing career as an
actor in a pilot for the TV series Mission:Top Secret. His next job was
to play 'Ritchie Valens' in Buddy... The Buddy Holly Story which took
him not only all around Australia but to London where he performed at
The Royal Variety Performance for Queen Elizabeth 2 and Prince Phillip,
as well as entertaining Princess Diana and her two very young boy
Princes. MiG continued a string of roles on many stage shows and tours,
but it was when he moved back to London that things really started to
take off. After a short stint in Rent, MiG was chosen to play 'Galileo
Figaro' in Queen's We Will Rock You. However his talents caught the
attention of the casting agent for a new Cbs Tv show that was looking
for a new frontman for Aussie super group Inxs. MiG was flown to Los
Angeles where he fought it out with the other finalists to make it to
the final, where he came in third in the world-wide competition. MiG
was quickly signed by Decca/Universal Music Group and his self-titled
debut Cd was released in the USA, Canada, Australia, Philippines and
New Zealand in 2007. In the final months of 2007 MiG returned to the
stage as 'Galileo Figaro' in the International Tour of We Will Rock
You, successfully completing runs in New Zealand, Korea, Singapore,
Hong Kong, finishing in Bangkok with his debut Cd being released in
those respective countries. In 2008 MiG appeared in Handel's Messiah
Rocks, which was released on Cd/Dvd fall of 2009, as well as airing as
a Pbs-Tv special across the USA. In 2009 MiG launched the 'call to
arms' global campaign United As One, helping raise awareness and
desperately needed funds to the people of the Philippines affected by
Typhoon Ondoy, and consequently by following typhoons that continue to
cause devastating floods. In January 2010 MiG made his Broadway debut
in Burn The Floor, as well as in the months thereafter touring with the
show to Australia, Japan, Korea, Canada, and USA. In September 2010,
MiG opened the 1st National Tour of Rock Of Ages, as the legendary
rocker 'Stacee Jaxx'. March 2011 MiG returned to Broadway to reprise
his role in Rock Of Ages for the show's reopening at the Helen Hayes
Theatre. December 2011 MiG returned to London to reprise his role in
Thriller Live. In May 2012 MiG returned to the Philippines to reprise
his role as 'Stacee Jaxx' in a completely sold out new production of
Rock Of Ages. February 2013 MiG reprised his role as 'Galileo Figaro'
for the 2013 We Will Rock You 10th Anniversary World Arena Tour,
successfully completing runs in Finland, Denmark, UK, Ireland,
Netherlands, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Croatia.
June 2013 MiG returned to the Philippines for Rock Of Ages, the 'repeat
run' of last year's sold-out production, in which he played legendary
rocker 'Stacee Jaxx'. August 2013 MiG prepares for the next chapter in
his professional life, which promises to include even more touring, and
gigging of his existing as well as upcoming album.
