Miguel Angelo
Miguel Ângelo began his musical journey at age 10 with Tuna Musical de Fiães, where he studied music theory, guitar, and later double bass. In the 1980s, he ventured into rock music, playing bass guitar with the band Curtes Baldei-me. Years later, he resumed his musical education at the Porto Jazz School, studying electric bass under Professor Alberto Jorge. Although rock initially captured his artistic interest, jazz ultimately became his true passion. Under the guidance of double bassist Alberto Jorge and pianist Paulo Gomes, he deepened his studies in double bass and combo performance at the Porto Jazz School in the late 1990s. He later worked with bassist Pedro Barreiros and received support from double bassist António Augusto Aguiar. Miguel also pursued formal music training up to the 5th grade with professors Alexander Worf and Joel Silva at the Academia de Paços de Brandão and later at Santa Maria da Feira. After earning a degree in Informatics and Applied Mathematics from Universidade Portucalense, he returned to higher education in 2004 to study double bass.
