Miguel Escueta (born May 6, 1984) is a Filipino male vocalist, singer and performer.
Early life
Born Miguel Escueta on May 6, 1984. It’s been almost 7 months since Miguel Escueta last launched a single. In that span of time, he has been busy invading the underground rock scene with gigs in venues such as Clud Dredd, 6Underground and Mayric’s, among others. He also just recently signed up with new management – The ALV Talent Circuit, headed by the established Arnold Vegafria.
Aside from that, he and the band have also been in the studio working on a repackaged version of his debut album, which he and MCA Music Inc. have decided to call “I AM ME: AMPLIFIED.” It is a double disc series — the new CD contains 5 new songs and 6 videos. It features the carrier track “HANDA”, Miguel’s own rendition of the rock hits “Mr Brightside”, “Just Like Heaven” and Blue Monday, and his original Balik Simula (Reloaded), plus videos of I AM M.E Amplified Sessions: I AM M.E Launch Video, Falling Away, Isipin, Isipin (Acoustic) and Take Me There.
Now that the production process is done, The Morning Episodes (Miguel Escueta, Juni Devecais, Jeng Tria, and Roy Secillano) are back on the airwaves with a new single — “HANDA” (the 1st one off the new CD). They have also finished shooting the music video for this song, and it premiered first week of August. Hotshot director Treb Monteras took care of this one. He used a concept that is very performance driven and added a slight / edgy touch of metaphor. It reminds you of some videos by UK based rock band Oasis and the ever so loved Coldplay.
In an interview, Miguel said that “Handa” is probably the most powerful and emotional song that they have ever released as a single due to its lyrics and the way they deliver itsperformance on the album (this was again produced by band-mate Juni). He also said that director Treb created a video that perfectly suits the power and emotion that the song entails. “We were very lucky to have had the chance to work with him.”
“This song, along with the others on the “Amplified” album, will give the public an idea of the direction that we are now taking musically,” ME adds. “We are all very excited.”
Currently, Miguel is a regular performer on the 3-year Sunday variety show of GMA 7, "Party Pilipinas.
