Young Miko's age and early life

Young Miko's birthday is celebrated every 8 November. The singer is 26 but will celebrate her 27th birthday in November 2024, as she was born on 8 November 1997 in Añasco, Puerto Rico.

As a young girl, she began writing poetry while attending a Catholic school in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Sharing a challenge that most Puerto Rican artists have during an interview, as published on Pop Sugar, she said the following:

Puerto Rico is a difficult audience to captivate, very picky, and demanding. That's part of why so many major stars come out of the island. Puerto Ricans know how to distinguish quality right away, so the fact that they were the first to show love [to our project] put things into perspective.

And my mom loved Spanish rock: Kany, La Quinta Estación, Julieta Venegas, Paulina Rubio, Maná... That’s my playlist almost every day.
