Myles’ musical journey began with humble open mic nights and support slots, where he honed his craft before releasing his own music. Finding solace in music, he used it to navigate and make sense of life’s complexities. This journey of self-discovery and emotional expression has culminated in his mantra, “It’s okay to feel”, which he extends to his fans through what he affectionately calls “Group Therapy”.
From the age of nine, Myles has been playing the guitar and is now celebrated for his streaming sensations “Solo” and “My Home”. His dedication and unique sound have earned him a dedicated fanbase, with 135 million streams, over 600k followers on Instagram, over 6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and almost 850k followers on TikTok.
Speaking about his debut EP Myles said, “This title represents a profound, yet neutral statement, which gains meaning through the perspective of the person reading it. With the project, my own stories, and the stories of those around me were used to create it, but it’s the stories and journeys of those listening who truly give it life, depending on where you are in life and what you are feeling. I hope it gives space to people to unlock their own meanings.”
