Miguel is a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning artist who has spent more than two decades blending R&B, jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop and soul in a way that fans say is unmistakably his own. The singer, songwriter and producer got his start working alongside neo-soul standout Musiq Soulchild and Atlanta’s Godson of Soul, Usher Raymond.  

He stepped fully into the spotlight in 2010 with his debut album, “All I Want Is You.”

The song “Sure Thing” on the album is credited with launching him into stardom. In 2012, he followed up with “Kaleidoscope Dream,” and just a year later, Miguel earned his first Grammy Award for Best R&B Song for the album’s lead single, “Adorn.” His musical journey continued with “Wildheart” in 2015 and “War & Leisure” in 2017.
