Miguel music videos

Miguel Jontel Pimentel, (born October 23, 1986) who performs under the mononym Miguel, is an American recording artist, songwriter and producer. Signed to Jive Records in 2007, Miguel released his debut album, All I Want Is You, in November 2010. The album was preceded by the release of the single "All I Want Is You", featuring rapper J. Cole.

Miguel Jontel Pimentel was born in the San Pedro neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[1][2] He is one of two sons born to a Mexican father and an African American mother.[2] Miguel's parents divorced when he was eight years old.[3] At a young age, Miguel listened to classic rock, hip hop, funk and rhythm and blues.[2] At age 15, he began pursuing a career in music.

Miguel worked with a local production duo Drop Squad in 2000, before being signed with independent record label Black Ice in 2004. During this period, Miguel worked with Kirven "DJ Curv " Arrington to make music similar to that of Usher. Black Ice began to release the single "Getcha Hands Up" with a video debut on 106 and park. Miguel decided to change his sound / image and walked away from black ice records.[4] For nearly a year, Miguel's manager at the time submitted several songs to music mogul Mark Pitts; after receiving a song titled "Sure Thing"—which Miguel described as a "highly personal...record that no one was ever supposed to hear"—Pitts scheduled a meeting with Miguel in October 2007. The following month, Miguel signed a recording contract with Jive Records.[3][4] Miguel recalled that the signing his contract took place in a "very small room in a very small office in a small corner of the building at Jive".[5] Miguel was subsequently sued by Black Ice for breach of contract.[6] For the following three years, he contributed to Usher's Here I Stand and Raymond v. Raymond, as well as Asher Roth's Asleep in the Bread Aisle and Musiq Soulchild's "IfULeave".[7][8] Miguel also released Mischief: The Mixtape; he explained that the title referred to his attempt to "[tell] people that there is an alternative to getting sort of the same thing".[8] The lawsuit was settled in 2010.[6]
