Classically-trained, jazz-weathered, and eclectically inclined, multi-instrumentalist Machado Mijiga left the proverbial creative "box" at a very early age. With access to several instruments and a diverse musical background brought about by an intercultural heritage, Machado mixes various genres throughout all live performances.
Originally from Portland, Mijiga is a musical polymath; composer, producer, bandleader, educator, gear fanatic, and audio engineer, to name a few. Authenticity and uniqueness assume the locus of Mijiga's artistic identity. Self-expression is the prime directive, and the medium of choice changes like the weather.
Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
