After several years working, on and off, with numerous musicians and friends, the debut album is finally concluded and ready to be released.

Mainly recorded at home, with little resources, this set of songs represents what Miraldo intended, without making any commercial concessions.

Through the years, Miraldo has worked one-on-one with every musician invited to participate in the recording process, so that every element would respect and enhance his musical vision. On the other hand, everyone involved in this project, whether actually recording something or not, contributed with their input, personal opinions and creativity, thus being crucial to the conclusion of the overall process.

There were many obstacles to be met, many hurdles to overcome, a lot of laughter and personal growth too. So, here we are now. Considering the resources at hand, these are ten very intense and honest songs which are the closest possible to what Miraldo intended for his debut album. M1RALDO gives you a glimpse of his musical vision, his beliefs and a part of his life’s story.
