Miguel Rodrigues Music LTD
Bio



At the age of eight Miguel started playing piano, organ, electric and acoustic guitar. In 2005 he arrived in London from all the musical and natural inspirations of Lisbon to study audio engineering and production techniques. He now also works as a producer with other emerging successful artists.


His influences range from Classical music, Jazz, R&B, House, Soul and Rock to Electronic music. Also, he takes his musical influences from African, Latin and Indian rhythms and creates his own unique and distinctive sound.


“… It is a witness to his credibility as artist and producer, the latter of which he offers to emerging artists professionally as well. As Miguel continues to expand his artistry, it will be interesting to see collaborations with various singers. It may not be on the horizon and only a music critic’s projection but with such a vision at present, it could only enhance and add richness to his musical repertoire.” –
Alisa Carraro
