Myles Smith

A singer and songwriter whose warmly introspective songs combine emotional candor with melodic grace, Myles Smith fuses gentle vocal intensity with sounds drawn from modern folk, indie pop, and traces of Americana. After cultivating listeners through social platforms, he reached a worldwide audience via the 2024 EP A Minute... and its breakout single "Stargazing."

Born and raised in Luton, an ethnically diverse Bedfordshire town in England, Smith absorbed an eclectic mix of pop-punk, singer/songwriter material, and hip-hop during his formative years. Growing more absorbed in music, he acquired a guitar and taught himself to play, performing covers at parties and open-mike nights with material centered on figures such as Ed Sheeran, Marcus Mumford, and Chris Martin. He soon began filming his own performances and uploading the homemade clips to social media. In 2020 he issued the eight-song album Scars. His first real breakthrough arrived in 2022, when a stripped-down cover of the Neighbourhood's "Sweater Weather" went viral, leading to a contract with RCA.

Once established as a vocalist, Smith turned greater attention to songwriting. Tracks such as "Memories (I Don't Have)," co-written with Adam Argyle, and "River," developed with Peter Fenn and Jesse Fink, became streaming successes, while "Solo" and "My Home," both created with Fenn, achieved major traction with streams reaching well into eight figures. In March 2024 he released the EP You Promised a Lifetime, collecting many of those earlier songs alongside the new singles "Betting on Us" and "Sweet Love." Another leap forward occurred in May 2024 with the single "Stargazing," a lyrical, folk-tinged anthem featuring an instantly memorable clap-along chorus that reached number four in the U.K. and entered the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. He quickly followed with the charting releases "Wait for You" and "Nice to Meet You," placing all three tracks on the November EP A Minute...
