早年經歷
MIGUELMiguel Jontel Pimentel出生於加利福尼亞州,洛杉磯市的聖佩德羅,兄弟兩人,父親為墨西哥人,母親為非裔美國人.Miguel的父母在他8歲時離婚.在很小的時候Miguel就受其母親影響開始接觸早期的R&B音樂,父親則帶領他認識了funk,hip hop,jazz和classic rock.5歲時Miguel想成為一個舞者,不過到了13歲他決定開始追逐音樂事業.14歲時Miguel就開始嘗試作曲並用一台從叔叔那裡得到的四軌錄音機記錄下自己的靈感. 在九年級時Miguel經朋友介紹認識了在製作公司工作的Drop Squad, 隨後的高中時光里Miguel便一直在錄音室里學習以尋求一份唱片契約.
演藝經歷
2000-2006: 事業開端
Miguel在2000年與Drop Squad簽訂了一份契約, 2004年他簽約了獨立廠牌Black Ice開始錄製他的錄音室專輯Young & Free.這張唱片原定於2006年11月30日發行,最後卻被擱置.Black Ice在電視節目106 & Park上發行了"Getcha Hands Up"的單曲錄影帶,但Miguel決定改頭換面離開Black Ice唱片.在之後LA Weekly的訪談中Miguel說道:"我們是拍了一支錄影帶,不過如果你看了它一定會笑得屁滾尿流.我戴了一頂緊帽子,穿著白T恤和一條寬鬆的牛仔褲.那時候我才19歲,這也是我第一次賺到錢."
2007-2010
MIGUEL又過了將近一年,Miguel當時的經理給音樂界大亨Mark Pitts提交了好幾首歌曲,其中一首名為"Sure Thing"的歌,Miguel形容其為極度私人化的作品,完全不應被其他人聽到.然而正是這首歌打動了Mark Pitts,他在2007年10月安排了與Miguel的見面,緊接著11月Miguel就得到了Jive唱片的一紙契約.Miguel回想起當時,他在Jive唱片辦公大樓角落的一個小辦公室的一個小房間裡簽下了這份契約.簽約之後Miguel就錄製了他的首張專輯All I Want Is You,沒想到卻被Black Ice起訴其違約以至於這張專輯在兩年內都無法發行.
接下來的三年里,Miguel先後為Usher的Here I Stand和Raymond v. Raymond,Asher Roth的Asleep in the Bread Aisle和Musiq Soulchild的"IfULeave"專輯創作歌曲,他本人也發行了一張Mixtpae Mischief: The Mixtape.談到這張mixtape的標題,Miguel說他試圖告訴人們有時候換一種方式也能達到同樣的結果.在與Black Ice曠日持久的契約糾紛終於得以解決後,All I Want Is You 終於在2010年11月發行,在幾乎沒有表演的情況下,這張專輯首周售出了11,000張,在Billboard 200 名列109位,其後Jive唱片也沒有進行積極的宣傳,但是專輯同名曲卻取得了極高的電台播放率,同時Miguel也加入Trey Songz 和Usher的巡演進行暖場表演.接下來打榜的兩支單曲"Sure Thing" 和"Quickie"都在排行榜上取得了不錯的成績.在專輯出榜三個星期之後, All I Want Is You 奇蹟般的又重回Billboard 200並持續在榜達22周,在榜上的最高名次為37位.這張專輯最終在排行榜上停留了45周,在美國售出了404,000張.
2012–至今
在Jive唱片關閉被RCA收購後,Miguel也隨之進入RCA,Pitts被任命為都市音樂部經理並有了新的行銷團隊.Miguel的第二張錄音室專輯Kaleidoscope Dream於2012年10月2日發行,取得了評論界的一致好評.
MIGUEL在第55屆格萊美中,Miguel共獲得了包括Song Of The Year,Best R&B Performance,Best R&B Song,Best Urban Contemporary Album和Best Rap Song在內的五項提名.
2013年5月與美國流行天后Mariah Carey共同演繹的單曲#beautiful釋出，為一首中速的兼具pop，R&B，和soul風格的歌曲。該曲一經發行便取得了驚人的優異成績。iTunes方面，已經在21國登頂，並高居美國itunes即時榜No.4。
