Biography
Migs began his music career at 18 years old, as a lead guitarist and songwriter for a
Santa Cruz local band called Zion Sounds. The band split up in the mid-1990s, however Zion Sounds' African and Jamaican style is said to have been a major influence in Migs' personal career. After the band dissolved, Miguel Migs went on to explore electronic music production.
Miguel has produced over 100 remixes to date, including remixes for a number of mainstream artists. Such artists include
Britney Spears,
Macy Gray and
Lionel Richie. Migs has been associated with a variety of
record labels, most notably
Naked Music Recordings.
In 1998 Miguel co-founded the deep house record label Transport Recordings, along with fellow DJ MFR and Naked Music label director Bruno Ybarra. Migs was credited for his soul-driven vibes and hailed as one of the pioneers of the nascent house and chill-out revival scene alongside
Dimitri from Paris and
Bob Sinclar as a result of his early foray into Deep House in the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing several highly sought after singles and remixes under the Petalpusher pseudonym. In 2005 he founded Salted Music, an
independent record label.
In early 2008, Migs'
Those Things
won in The 7th Annual
Independent Music Awards for Best Dance/Electronica Album.
