Migs began his music career at 18 years old, as a lead guitarist and songwriter for a Santa Cruz local band called Zion Sounds.

Miguel Migs grew up in Northern California on his parents' diverse collection of classic rock, blues, funk, soul and reggae records – which helped set the tone for his musical inspirations.

His well-received 2002 debut album Colorful You was released on the legendary Astralwerks label, and Migs began to attract attention from the broader music community, remixing big-name artists as diverse as Macy Gray, Lionel Richie and Britney Spears.

After years of relentless nonstop global touring, his 2007 follow-up album Those Things saw him collaborating with big-hitting names like hip-hop legend Sadat X and reggae icon Junior Reid, among others.

Migs' last album Outside the Skyline (which debuted in the iTunes top 10 dance chart and received rave reviews by top publications) featured various collaborators including disco diva Evelyn "Champagne" King, neo-soul vocalist and bassist Meshell Ndegeocello, reggae legends Half-Pint and Freddie McGregor, Berlin based jazz singer Georg Levin and bossa nova star Bebel Gilberto, who all make an appearance on the album, alongside two vocalists who've been regular collaborators through the years, Aya and Lisa Shaw.

The idea behind Salted is for Miguel Migs to have a creative outlet for releasing forward thinking; soul based electronic music that is not limited in tempo.
