Miguel discovered his passion for music in his youth and began playing guitar. He soon formed his first band with friends. When he moved from his hometown Lisbon to Munich for his studies, a new opportunity arose: friends were looking for a bassist for their band. Miguel quickly decided to switch to bass, which he mastered self-taught.
Early on, he was drawn to challenging rock music. The turning point came in 1984 when he saw the band Yes live for the first time – an event that sparked his enthusiasm for progressive rock. However, it would take four decades and many musical stages before he found the perfect band in LTB to fully express his passion for this music.
