Miguel Jontel Pimentel (born October 23, 1985) is an American singer-songwriter, music producer and actor. Miguel first entered the music industry in 2006, but his first album ''All I Want Is You'' wouldn't be released until 2010 due to a breach of contract lawsuit from his old record label and Creator/JiveRecords, the label he later signed with. While the dispute went on, Miguel would write and produce for artists such as Music/{{Usher}}, Music/AsherRoth and Music/MusiqSoulchild. When the album was finally released, it became a SleeperHit, propelled by the strengths of it's singles "Sure Thing", ""All I Want Is You", and "Quickie". From there, Miguel would become a staple in [[TheNewTens 2010s R&B]], and release three more albums during that period, two of which were [[UsefulNotes/GrammyAward Grammy]]-nominated.

Style-wise, Miguel's music is a more mainstream-friendly version of AlternativeRAndB, leaning more towards ContemporaryRAndB, but mixed in with other genres such as electronica, hip-hop, rock, and funk. He is also a sometimes-actor, acting in films such as ''Film/LiveByNight'' and ''Film/{{Detroit}}''

!!Discography:

* ''Kaleidoscope Dream'' (2012)
* ''Wildheart'' (2015)
* ''War & Leisure'' (2017)

!!Tropes:
* AlternativeRAndB: His music a less esoteric and more radio-friendly version of this, being mostly ContemporaryRAndB but with few other genres thrown in. His debut album was strictly Contemporary R&B, however.
* IntercourseWithYou: Naturally throughout all of his albums, as a popular RAndB artist. He even has a song called "Pussy is Mine" on ''Kaleidoscope Dream''.
* SpeedSex: "Quickie" where Miguel says he just "wants a quick fix."
* TheWhitestBlackGuy: Laments this on "what's normal anyway", on being "too proper" for the black kids (while simultaneously being "too black for the Mexicans").
