MIGUEL It’s not strange for an R&B singer to look up to Prince, but to cite Freddie Mercury and David Bowie as heroes is one thing that sets this 24-year old songwriter/producer apart. After the chugging away under the radar, working with artists like Musiq Soulchild and Usher, Miguel exploded last year with his J. Cole collaboration “All I Want Is You” and saw his album of the same name spend 33 weeks on the charts balancing an attempt to be different with radio-friendly jams. (Mike McCray)
