As a choir boy in his native Portugal, Miguel discovered his musical talent at an early age and explored it by studying the piano and developing his vocal skills. His passion for music has turned into a lifelong pursuit. Whether producing, remixing, DJing or selling records, Miguel has been involved with the recording industry for over a decade.

After playing in a band in the 80s Miguel began producing his own material. In 1991, at the age of 20, he produced his first club hit: "There 4 U" by M.G. Feat. Stephenson. It was awarded the supreme sign of recognition from the scene at the time by being bootlegged in New York City. "There 4 U" charted heavily in the U.K., played on regular rotation on Kiss 100 FM, and grabbed the attention of legendary Garage DJ/Producer Robert Ouimet, who became his production partner.

Over the next 6 years Graça and Ouimet shared a studio and ran Front Records. They released many internationally-acclaimed house tracks together and developed a solid following for their Red Light moniker. Highlights of their prolific discography include "Who Needs Enemies," "The Dance," "Keep it Open" and "Thankful" Feat. David Gordon, all on Hi-Bias Records. "Thankful" went on to win the 1994 JUNO Award (the Canadian
national music award) for best original dance recording.
