Greetings! My name is Miguel. By day I’m a marketer living and breathing social media. All other times, I’m a fan of music and culture. Although, I am not living the life a musician these days, I do have formal music training as a classical guitarist. I attended the Cleveland Institute of Music where I completed a graduate degree.
My tastes in music are pretty eclectic. I enjoy listening to just about every type of music. As you can imagine, I pretty much music listen to everything guitar related. Some of my guitar heroes include Paco de Lucia, Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), John Petrucci (Dream Theater), and John Williams (not the cheesy music composer). To sum me up, I’m a classically-trained metalhead with an appreciation for Jazz, Salsa, and World Music.
Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music. –Jimi Hendrix–
The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead. — Igor Stravinsky–
