Miguel

Miguel
Underground hip-hop is, like, one of my foundations, I would say a cornerstone of my foundation of my musical tastes.
Miguel
I've always had this tremendous and very deep feeling of knowing my purpose, you know? It never dawned on me, it always very much known.
Miguel
I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.
Miguel
I think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.
Miguel
I'm not here to write a song for you, I'm here to help you write a song for yourself.

'SNL' is probably one of the premiere outlets that a musician can perform on that isn't obviously a music outlet.
Miguel
There's just something really, really timeless about live instruments. There's just something special about them that you can't really duplicate or grasp without including live instruments.
Miguel
I know I'm a very dynamic performer. Once you come to the show, you're gonna want to have the album. I think it's more about showing people that it's OK to share similarities, but it's more important to embrace your individuality.
