Manage episode 334771361 series 2867603
Miguel Landestoy is Jazz Pianist, Educator and Arts Administrator and Podcaster based out of Boston MA currently working at Berklee College of Music as a student advisor. As a “multi-hyphenate”, he is constantly looking towards the next step on his artistic journey and how he can better serve the artistic community. The first of his family to be born and raised in the U.S, Miguel produces art that reflects his unique lived experience in the hopes that it might inspire others to do the same. As an educator, Miguel strives to teach the whole person, using the piano as a guide toward confidence, empathy and respect for the human condition.
In October of 2021 Miguel launched Playblack, A podcast dedicated to nerdom, reviews, and hot takes on arts & culture and the human experience from the perspective of two melanated artists. The project, in collaboration with his partner J Cottle, has received acclaim and funding through the Boston Opportunity Fund. Most recently Playblack received a grant from the New England Conservatory's Entrepreneurial Musicianship department to produce The BIPOC Artist Hour, a limited series exploring the unique experience of POC artists and what brings them joy.
Miguel holds a B.M in Music Business from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and an M.M from the New England Conservatory in Contemporary Improvisation."
