MIGUEL

Season 3, Episode 4

From a very early age, Miguel found a love for music that inspired him to pursue it as a career. Miguel has been influenced by a wide range of music including classic rock, hip hop, funk and R&B. Miguel’s eclectic style runs the gamut of these genres and has helped him get noticed by some of the biggest influencers in the business—most notably, music mogul, Mark Pitts of Jive Records. The video clips below show a passionate, up-and-coming star determined to make it no matter what it takes.

One of my favorite things that Russell Simmons said was, ‘Hard work is respectable.

Miguel

We all have soul…it’s just how we chose to display it…it’s the energy you in which you give out, it’s the way you chose to project yourself…
