Miguel Mega:
My first interest in music was when I watched a Queen concert on TV in 1981 . I started to play acoustic guitar in 1983 when I was 13 very influenced by my stepfather , Edilberto Abrão , that plays in brazillian jazz bands .I play electric guitar since I was 15 and I´ve been trying to really understand what "music" really means since then. My first work in vinyl, was in 1992 with my band Last Joker. With Last Joker I recorded one album untitled "Last Joker" and performed big venues with the greatest names of the brazilian heavy metal such as, DR. SIN , ANGRA, SEPULTURA, R.D.P., KORZUS etc... By the end of 1994 LAST JOKER broke up and I went to Los Angeles to study music business, recording thecnics and my passion: THE GUITAR!. I lived in LA for 2 years and studied guitar with Joey Tafolla (solo artist) and Jean Mark Belkadi who lectures at LAMA (Los Angeles Music Academy)and at MI (GIT) Musicians Institute. I did some production and recording courses at the Music Box Studios in Hollywood, too. I came back to Brazil in ´97 and for the very first time in my life I wanted to record an instrumental and experimental free-form album. Untitled simply "Miguel Mega" and recorded on a 4 track (analog), it was my first experience and cd release . In 1999 I came up with my 2nd solo cd, untitled "intuitive". Recorded at my private studio and all produced by myself between july 98 and january 99, it presents a fusion of my favorite styles such as blues, rock, jazz, funk , brazillian jazz and country. In my opinion , "Intuitive" sounds much more composed than "Miguel Mega", which is great because it means that I grow up as a musician ...
