Young Miko

María Victoria Ramírez de Arellano Cardona (born November 8, 1997), known professionally as Young Miko, is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, songwriter and former footballer. In 2022, she released her debut extended play, Trap Kitty, featuring Latin trap tracks. In April 2024, she released her debut studio album, Att., featuring collaborations with Feid, Jowell & Randy, Villano Antillano, Elena Rose, and Dei V. In November 2025, she released her second studio album, Do Not Disturb, which featured a collaboration with Eladio Carrión.

Young Miko was born in Añasco, Puerto Rico. Her family often listened to rock, hip hop, and reggaeton, which helped her realize that music was her passion. She began writing poetry while attending a Catholic school in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. She played on the Puerto Rican women's national football team from the ages of 13 to 18, often leaving school early to make it to practices in the nearby municipality of Bayamón.

Besides football, Young Miko played multiple sports as a child, including karate, basketball, tennis, and ping pong. There was no girls' basketball league, so she had to play on a boys team.

In high school, she recalls that she was introverted and did not have many friends, finding it difficult to befriend girls.

Young Miko attended the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus, majoring in drawing. However, budget cuts forced her department to remove credits off her major, so she transferred to the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico in San Germán to study visual arts.

Ramírez de Arellano started rapping her lyrics in 2018 to beats she downloaded from YouTube. She uploaded these initial songs to SoundCloud under the name Young Miko. Her first song was "Quiero". Meanwhile, she worked as a tattoo artist for 5 years to pay bills and music studio costs. She posted her work to Instagram, under the handle @samuraimiko.

In 2022, Young Miko released her debut extended play, Trap Kitty, featuring Latin trap tracks. She incorporates her identity and interests into her music including anime, urban music, and The Powerpuff Girls.

It was later announced that her record label, The Wave Music Group, had signed a long-term distribution agreement with Capitol Music Group (CMG) to support her upcoming release.
