Born in Puerto Rico to an Italian mother and a Spanish father, he is often referred to as ''El Sol de Mexico'' (The Sun of Mexico), derived from the nickname his mother gave him as a child: "Mi sol" (My sun). Luis Miguel has sung in multiple genres and styles, including pop songs, ballads, boleros, tangos, jazz, big band, and mariachi. Luis Miguel is also recognized as the only Latin singer of his generation not to cross over to the Anglo market during the "Latin Explosion" in the 1990s.

In 1991, the RIAA recognized the success of his 1991 album ''Romance'' as one of the best-selling Latin albums of all time. He was the first Latino artist to earn two platinum certifications for Spanish-language albums in the United States, for ''Romance'' and ''Segundo Romance'' (the latter earning him 35 platinum records throughout Central and South America). He is also recognized by ''Billboard'' as the artist with the most top-10 hits on ''Billboard''s Hot Latin Songs chart. His album ''Cómplices'' was released in 2008, peaking at No. 10 on the mainstream ''Billboard'' 200; his most recent album, ''¡México Por Siempre!'', was released in 2017 and earned him his second No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Regional Mexican Albums chart, achieving double-platinum status.

With the Luis Miguel Tour, which took place in 2010, he visited 22 countries in North America, South America and Europe, where he performed in a three-year span with a total of 223 shows all over the world, making it the longest and highest-grossing tour ever made by a Latin artist.
