I have such a passion for so many different types of music. To describe my album the best I'll give you the words of a good friend of mine by the name of Mike Cosper..."It's Everywhere!". You will find everything including piano solos, love songs, worship songs, 50's wanna be songs, 70's wanna be song, songs about sin and songs about missing people. I hope you are open minded and love variety because that's what you get when you listen to Miguel Monroy. Enjoy.
Miguel was born in Tucson, Arizona and has moved over twenty times throughout Tucson and Flagstaff, Arizona, Lexington, Lancaster and Louisville Kentucky and Floyds Knobs, Indiana but not necessarily in that order. He currently resides in Louisville and plans on staying there for a very long time and wishes to never pack a box again. Miguel, like his father, is a drummer and percussionist and has been classically trained for roughly fifteen years. While attending his second high school "Floyd Central" Miguel was introduced to jazz by John La Barbera, a prolific jazz arranger, composer, professor, etc. Through John Miguel was able to expand his musical knowledge outside of rock and pop music. After graduating Miguel then went to the University of Louisville to study music industry, which is the program that is head up by the one and only John La Barbera. Through the University Miguel was able to broaden his musical knowledge even more in theory, composing, piano and of course drums and percussion. During his studies at the University of Louisville School of Music he became extremely passionate about playing piano. And with that love for piano he started writing music for his first solo album entitled "Take me home". Miguel in currently on three albums all affiliated with his church, with his solo being the fourth. On this album you will find Miguel behind the drum set,
piano and even on vocals for all tracks but two.

Thanks! Things are pretty wonderful! Married life is great! I'm attending seminary in Indianapolis (3 hrs from our home in Illinois) and hope to graduate with a dual masters (Divinity and Psychotherapy) in another 3-4 years. :)

Woo hoo! That will be awesome! Maybe you can play my mom too. She loves her some Wii. =) I wonder if their will be a way to communicate via voice, like for xbox live.
Hi Miguelito It's Lexi, I just wanted to say hello. I hope you and your family are doing great. We really hope we can see you guys soon. We miss you so much! ♥Lexi
We were thinking maybe a video game party including the Wii and other games too. That way those non-Halo players can participate. But you guys will have to be there whenever we have it!
I had fun too. It was fun hanging out with all of you.
If I had it to do over, I would push for singing thorugh the whole set before we went on instead of just the one song. Live and learn...
Halo Party!? Argh! How tempting. I am supposed to be working on a research paper this week that's due on Monday. But I guess one little Halo party won't hurt, right? =) We will do our best to be there!
hey! i totally agree about the mike fan club thing. he is pretty stinking awesome. cool tunes! i didn't even know you played the piano! the man is full of hidden talents!
