2000-2006: 事業開端
Miguel在2000年與Drop Squad簽訂了一份合約, 2004年他簽約了獨立廠牌Black Ice開始錄製他的錄音室專輯Young & Free.這張唱片原定於2006年11月30日發行,最後卻被擱置.Black Ice在電視節目106 & Park上發行了"Getcha Hands Up"的單曲錄影帶,但Miguel決定改頭換面離開Black Ice唱片。在之後LA Weekly的訪談中Miguel說道:"我們是拍了一支錄影帶,不過如果你看了它一定會笑得屁滾尿流。我戴了一頂緊帽子,穿著白T恤和一條寬鬆的牛仔褲。那時候我才19歲,這也是我第一次賺到錢."
2007-2010

接下來的三年裡,Miguel先後為Usher的Here I Stand和Raymond v. Raymond,Asher Roth的Asleep in the Bread Aisle和Musiq Soulchild的"IfULeave"專輯創作歌曲,他本人也發行了一張Mixtpae Mischief: The Mixtape.談到這張mixtape的標題,Miguel說他試圖告訴人們有時候換一種方式也能達到同樣的結果。在與Black Ice曠日持久的合約糾紛終於得以解決后,All I Want Is You終於在2010年11月發行,在幾乎沒有表演的情況下,這張專輯首周售出了11,000張,在Billboard 200 名列109位,其後Jive唱片也沒有進行積極的宣傳,但是專輯同名曲卻取得了極高的電台播放率,同時Miguel也加入Trey Songz 和Usher的巡演進行暖場表演。接下來打榜的兩支單曲"Sure Thing" 和"Quickie"都在排行榜上取得了不錯的成績。在專輯出榜三個星期之後, All I Want Is You 奇迹般的又重回Billboard 200並持續在榜達22周,在榜上的最高名次為37位。這張專輯最終在排行榜上停留了45周,在美國售出了404,000張.
2012–至今
