“The spelling of ‘MiG’ with a capital ‘G’ is taken from the Soviet aircraft manufacturer Mikoyan Gurevich, the maker of the MiG jets.” – MiG

“I attribute my success to three elements: hard work, passion, and a little bit of luck. When I first heard about Rockstar INXS, a new reality show on CBS, I decided to audition. I didn’t win the competition to be the singer for INXS…I did one better and got my very own deal with Universal Classics.

Another dream came true when I got to work with two of the most incredible producers, Matthew Wilder (No Doubt, Christina Aguilera) and Rob Mathes, with string arrangements by the renowned Paul Buckmaster (Elton John, Train). It has some of the world’s greatest songs coupled with amazing arrangements and a superb sound, and was even able to include original songs to stand side by side with these classics. In fact, ‘She Loved’ and ‘Could It Be’ have been the most celebrated tracks on the CD.”
