Miguel Alfonso Ramon Legarda "MiG" Ayesa (born 12 January 1970) is an Filipino-Australian rock singer and actor.
Ayesa was born in Manila, Philippines and raised in Sydney, and has three-fourths-Spanish maternal ancestry and fourth-Ilonggo paternal and maternal ancestries. His Spanish ancestry came from Preysler lineage through Ayesa side and from Legarda lineage. He attended St Patrick's College, Strathfield. Ayesa was studying communications at Macquarie University in Sydney when he was offered the role of Ritchie Valens in the theatre production of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story. He decided to put his studies on hold and went on tour with the production all across Australia. He has since performed in theatres, commercials, television series and film. He has also been a part of several bands Randy Badass and the Slickmaster Five, Lovetown, The Honkies and The Riva Band.
Ayesa moved from Sydney to London in 2001 to look for a publishing company for his material. Brian May from the band Queen took an interest in his work and they worked on a collaboration with his band MiGnition. Ayesa played the character of 'Galileo Figaro' in the musical We Will Rock You, which is based entirely on Queen material. He also appeared in Rent by Jonathan Larson on London's West End in 2002 playing the role of 'Angel' at The Prince of Wales theatre.
Oh I need you here to start off another year
I gotta say it's felt so cold with you far away
And the tree wont look right without you hear tonight
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
There's no way to drive yourself home
But there's not a cloud up in the sky
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
I sit and wait with your gift so patiently
The hour is late
So before they close the gate
Park in a red light and catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
The buses have no where to go
But the pilot is taking off tonight
Oh pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them smiling with friends
So baby come back to me
I'm hanging out under the tree
Watching some lovers skate on ice
