Welcome to episode #49. When you’re born into a family of doctors and you don’t want to be a doctor, what do you do?
Today’s guest can answer that. He is actor, performer, singer, musician, rockstar - MiG Ayesa.
Many of you may remember Mig when he competed on the TV show, “Rockstar INXS”, vying for a chance to become the new lead singer of the famous band. He may have come in third, but he was still able to secure a record deal with Universal Classics.
Back in his younger years, he wanted to carve his on path away from his family’s medical professions. When he discovered music, as a way to control his stutter, he knew he was on to something.
He did musical theatre in his teen years and really wanted to be a rockstar, even formed a band called Randy Badass & The Slickmaster Five. But family felt he still had to go to college and get a ‘real’ job.
But destiny was calling and he got a role in a TV pilot called “Mission: Top Secret” and then was offered to play Ritchie Valens in “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story”.
Other musicals started coming, including: “Burn The Floor”, “Rent”, “We Will Rock You”, “Rock of Ages” and “All Out of Love” to name a few.
And MiG has a busy schedule. Travels all over the world to sing and perform, whether it’s on stage, TV or even cruise ships.
Unfortunately, there have been times that he lost his voice, but he pushed through and got back on track.
This is one of my favorite interviews. He had so much to offer and I was inspired. Special thanks to Laurie Ann Davis for connecting us.
You are going to love this episode. So, without further ado, enjoy my chat with MiG Ayesa.
