His moment at the 2025 BRIT Awards also made headlines for more than just the award and his stand-out performance, his powerful acceptance speech called on the government to do more to support the arts and ensure future generations have access to creative opportunities, echoing the very message of resilience and advocacy found in his music.
Myles’ story begins in Luton, where he learned guitar and piano by age 12 and honed his craft playing pubs and open-mic nights. As his music began to connect with audiences online, heartfelt covers like “Sweater Weather” and “I Found” paved the way for original songs including “Solo” and “My Home” which ultimately led to his 2023 signing with Sony’s RCA label.
