Best known as the younger brother of the legendary Mexican singer Luis Miguel, he gained wider public attention through a popular Netflix biopic series that delved into Luis Miguel’s life and, in the process, spotlighted his own story as well. Before stepping into the limelight, he pursued his passion for the arts by attending the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, where he studied Visual Arts. His early career path was quite diverse—he began by sharing his knowledge through photography lessons and even taught cooking courses, showcasing his creative versatility.

He is the son of the late Spanish performer Luisito Rey and Marcela Basteri, and while his older brother Luis Miguel followed closely in their father’s musical footsteps, his own journey took a different turn. After Luisito Rey left for Italy with Luis Miguel, he remained behind and was raised solely by his mother, Marcela. Growing up away from the intense spotlight that followed Luis Miguel, his life unfolded more privately—yet his connection to Luis Miguel has kept him a figure of interest, especially as new generations rediscover the legacy of the famous singer. Still, his identity remains closely tied to being Luis Miguel’s younger brother, a role that continues to shape how many come to know him.
