Miguelito

Miguel A. Valenzuela Morales was born January 5, 1999, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The youngest of four, Miguelito was heavily influenced by his older siblings, and developed a love for reggaeton by an early age. Miguelito had long been a dedicated student and turned this discipline toward his musical interests. Under the direction of DJ Memo, he recorded his first single at the young age of six, entitled "Mas Grande Que Tu." Such talent in a surprisingly small package caught the attention of local industry players, who quickly jumped on the opportunity. A video was recorded a short time later, followed by a full-length album by the same name, which featured the breakout hit "Montala." Mas Grande Que Tu, distributed by Daddy Yankee's El Cartel Records, peaked in the Top 20 in a number of Billboard's Latin categories. An excellent student, Miguelito continued to attend the Antilles Military Academy, distinguishing himself as one of the top students in his second-grade class. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
