Ayesa biography mig

"The spelling of 'MiG' with a capital 'G' is taken from the Soviet aircraft manufacturer Mikoyan Gurevich, the maker of the MiG jets." - MiG

Born 12 January in Manila, Philippines, MiG's family moved to Sydney, Australia when he was aged 2, where he and his older brother Andrew were then raised.

Born on January 12, 1970, in the vibrant city of Manila, Philippines, this Capricorn rock singer has forged an extraordinary path, transforming from a budding musician in Sydney, Australia, to an internationally acclaimed performer. 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.

Mig Ayesa became famous for his roles in two iconic rock musicals: Rent and We Will Rock You. This bicultural upbringing undoubtedly contributed to his adaptability and broad appeal, allowing him to connect with audiences from various backgrounds. 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.

Then with the addition of three originally penned tracks it was released in the United States and Canada in April of 2007.

In September of 2007, after moving to New York City, MiG took off again to reprise his role as 'Galileo'  for the International Tour of WE WILL ROCK YOU.

Season 2025 includes a dynamic lineup of Australian performing arts with 9 events and 15 performances to attend. Following this, his role in We Will Rock You, the jukebox musical based on the songs of the legendary band Queen, allowed him to fully embrace his rock star persona, singing classic anthems to sold-out crowds night after night.

His performances in Rock of Ages resonated with audiences, solidifying his reputation as a commanding presence on the New York stage and cementing his legacy as a prominent rock singer in both the West End and Broadway.
