‘bout Miguel

My name is Miguel (a.k.a. and now miguel). I am an artist. A lyricist and Hip-Hop producer who works in corporate America. My music and lyrics focus on my lived experience as well as movies, TV shows, and literature I come across. I fuse inspiration from anime shows like “FullMetal Alchemist'' and Octavia Butler’s Seed to Harvest to craft lyrics that touch on topics of education, race, gender, familial relations, and society. Other source of inspiration is Black peoples in the new world, Buddhism, and spirituality.  

My lyrics and rap style draws on rapper-producer duo People Under The Stars, singer-song-writer Jill Scott, the legendary Beats, Rhymes and Life crew A Tribe Called Quest, the Rawkus sound of the late 90s and early 2000s, J Dilla, and the God M.C. himself, Rakim. 

Aside from my writing, I am versed in other mediums like audio and video recording. For the past three years, I have been working on honing my skills as an in home audio engineer and aspire to continue to own my voice as a recording artist. Second to that, is my desire to continue growing my video content production. Lastly, is my dedication to the creative practice and my continued efforts to create.

The goal of andnowmiguel.com is to display my work and artistry. To connect and inspire others. And spread love and kindness to the world.

Health, Happiness, and Peace,

and now Miguel
