Rising pop sensation Myles Smith vividly recalls his first taste of fame. During a concert, he casually asked the crowd for cookies, and in no time, the dressing room was overflowing with them, an unforgettable moment that left him elated.
From that point on, Smith’s music career has flourished, with notable milestones along the way. Despite initially learning about one of his awards while grappling with a severe hangover, the revelation served as a revitalizing moment for him.
Having come a long way from his upbringing in Luton, born into a British-Jamaican working-class family, Smith's musical journey began by listening to his mom’s Motown tunes. His music influences varied widely, from Coldplay to Green Day to a brief Screamo phase, shaping his distinct folk-pop style.
Transitioning from writing songs as a hobby to performing at open mic nights, Smith eventually garnered attention for his original song "Solo," leading to a UK chart hit and a record deal with RCA Records. Embracing social media, he views TikTok as a platform rewarding dedication rather than just chasing trends, emphasizing the importance of building a genuine audience connection.
His lyrics reflect empathy and support, evident in songs like "River" and "Wait For You," demonstrating a commitment to uplifting others through his music. With his breakout track "Stargazing" capturing human connection, Smith’s candid approach to songwriting resonates deeply with his listeners.
As he continues to evolve artistically and embrace his whirlwind success, including accolades like the Brit Award and BBC Introducing's Artist Of The Year, Smith remains grounded and grateful for the opportunity to tour globally and share his music with fans worldwide.
