Miguel’s fingers strung the guitar, feeling nervous, sweating, but happy he can show the whole school his talent.
His love for music started when Miguel found his love for music at the young age of 6 when he learnt the ukulele, the first of several instruments he would learn to play.
The first song he learnt was Bubblegum by Clairo, he was sitting in music class teaching himself when it clicked to him.
