Until now, his fashion style has been clearly defined by his roles. His style in this new stage of his professional career has matured, projecting a more sophisticated and elegant image. Sport is another of his passions, in particular football, which he plays regularly with a team of friends. In addition to the beautiful game, he also practices more extreme sports such as wakeboard.

For several Christmases now he has helped raise funds for the Madrid Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and is always willing to work for charitable events, such as the concert organized for the Alzheimer Project. He also takes part in the annual Say No to Drugs football match organized by the Foundation against Drug Addiction. Having Discovered his passion for acting at very early age, Miguel Angel has worked hard to make a name for himself in the world of the performing arts. He made his debut at the age of 9 in the feature film El Palomo Cojo, directed by Jaime Arminan. This first project was the launching pad for Miguel Angels career. His television work includes series such as Mama quiero ser artista, Al salir de clase and Companeros. On the big screen, he appeared in the film Gente Pez and lent his voice to Simbad in the animated feature Simbad la leyenda de los siete Mares. The theatre has also played a key part in Miguel Angels career, with roles in plays such as Quickly and La Cenerentola. He enjoyed notable success as the narrator in the opera Bastian y Bastiana at Madrids Teatro Real. With regards to his musical career, closely linked to his time in the series Un paso adelante, he was a member (the leader) of the group UPA Dance. Recording 4 highly successful albums, the group obtained 6 platinum discs. As a solo artist he recorded the single Tu diras que estoy loco, a number one hit for 11 weeks, selling over 180,000 copies.

Miguel Angel has decided to shelve his musical career for the time being in order to focus on all aspects of the acting profession: television, cinema and the theatre. He will shortly star alongside Arturo Fernandez in the new release Desde que amanece, apetece, and plays the part of a late 15th century peasant in the Spanish blockbuster Los Borgia.
