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.

Career Ramírez de Arellano started rapping her lyrics in 2018 to beats she downloaded from YouTube. Her first song was "Quiero". 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.

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.

In 2023, Young Miko's reggaeton song "Classy 101", a collaboration with Colombian artist Feid, reached number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her first appearance on the chart. She also joined her onstage to perform "Dispo". She was featured on the album of Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, with the song "Fina". The song peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her second entry on the chart.

Young Miko performed at Coachella in 2024. Accompanied by a band, she delivered some of her most popular titles, including the "Chulo" remix and her Bizarrap session, "Young Miko: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 58". On April 24, Young Miko released her debut album, Att.. The title is shorthand for “atentamente,” which means “sincerely” in Spanish. It features collaborations with Dei V, Feid, Jowell & Randy, Elena Rose and Villano Antillano. The album peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums and number 129 on the Billboard 200.

Its 16 tracks demonstrate intense production that reflect the chaos around the artist, and she describes the album as "Scorpio-coded". for the first time. The two night shows were sold out and featured multiple guest performances. Night one guest performances included Bad Gyal, Eladio Carrión, Elena Rose, Tokischa, and Villano Antillano. Night two guest performances included Bad Gyal, Feid, Kany García, Mora, Omar Courtz, Tainy, Tokischa, and Villano Antillano; with Rauw Alejandro being in attendance.
