Believe it or not, you’ve surely come across Young Miko’s voice at some point. And the fact is that the Puerto Rican artist is becoming one of the most listened to artists of the moment on digital platforms, so avoiding her music is a very complicated task.

Bad Bunny took her on stage at his concert at the Choliseo in Puerto Rico, as did Karol G at the island’s Hiram Bithorn Stadium. She teamed up with Arcángel on his album ‘Sr. Santos’ and also released ‘Classy 101’ with Feid. She just dropped ‘Brinca’, a uplifting collab featuring Argentinian singer Cazzu. But who is this artist conquering all the referents of the scene?

Her path to Success

Young Miko, born María Victoria, is a 24-year-old Puerto Rican rapper from Añasco, Puerto Rico. The artist started recording her first songs in her bedroom. According to Rolling Stone magazine, she bought a microphone with the money she had earned as a tattoo artist. However, she made it official with ‘105 Freestyle’, a song she presented in July 2021 together with producer Caleb Calloway. 

Little by little, many began to listen to Young Miko, who has made a name for herself among the biggest promises of trap. One of the songs that also stands out from her beginnings is ‘Riri’, which she performed on stage at Bad Bunny’s concert and received a great reception from the attendees. It is included in her debut album ‘Trap Kitty’.

One of his most viral tracks is ‘Lisa’, which has expanded to other territories after its success on the TikTok platform. Her verse «hablando claro, tengo un problema. Y es que rápido me enchulo de las nenas» has traveled around the globe.
