About the
ARTIST

MIGUEL CASTRO

GREGORIO ENRICO GARCIA CASTRO

ACTOR, SINGER, VISUAL ARTIST

Miguel started a career in acting as an in-house actor in one of the oldest theater company in the Philippines for many years. He then moved into television and some film acting. Realizing other doors opening for him, he ventured into music. His very first musical landed him the lead role, that, with the guidance of his then career manager, slowed down with the acting projects and concentrated on Musicals and classical music. This landed him an opportunity to work for the next 10 years with the iconic Armida Siguion Reyna, under the show AAWITAN KITA Live on stage. This also results in a string of tour concerts, and the opportunity to work with the best singers in the scene. He was also a member of HARANA of the Philippine Opera Company, and the group The Filipino Tenors.

​

In between his stints as a performer, he mellows down, and gets his hands working on his first love, VisualArt. 

​

Of the many mediums, he found immense interest in Papercutting, an art road less travelled. This gave him the opportunity to showcase his works in different countries.
