Luis Miguel is a music from Mexico (born 1970-04-19). Won a Grammy Award at age 14 for the duet Me Gustas Tal Como Eres with Sheena Easton, making him the youngest male artist in music history to win a Grammy. Luis was 14 when it happened.
Early achievement is only meaningful when it is measured against adults. The distinction that matters is not precocity in the abstract but documented output at a standard competent adults are held to.
What separates a documented record from a family anecdote is that someone else wrote it down at the time. Luis's is recorded in published reference sources, with a date and a figure attached, and that is the standard applied to every entry in this index. Where an age or a date is disputed in the sources, this page follows the published record and says so rather than choosing the more impressive number.
Born in 1970-04-19, Luis belongs to a long line of Mexico names in this field, and the entry is maintained as new results are published.
Records like this one rarely survive untouched. The age thresholds that define early achievement keep falling as training methods, coaching and access to competition spread to more countries, and each generation of musics reaches the standard a little sooner than the last. Whether Luis's mark has since been beaten is noted above; the achievement itself is fixed to its date and stands on the record as it was set.

Luis Miguel belongs in any serious index of early achievement because the claim is specific, dated and externally documented — the three things most prodigy lists on the internet leave out.
