Myles Smith Talks Success of "Stargazing," Advice from Ed Sheeran & His First Heartbreak
Manage episode 479981475 series 2714704
Hailing from Luton, England, Myles Smith cut his teeth playing open mic nights in pubs to disinterested punters before he even hit his teens (and yes he was underage; they’re not quite so strict over there). So when fame and acclaim finally found him in 2024, thanks to his now international smash and viral sensation ‘Stargazing,’ he was more than ready to get onstage and wow audiences the world over. Cue many lighters held aloft.
Now at 26, Myles is collabing with Shaboozey (on ‘Blink Twice’), touring with Ed Sheeran, and getting phone calls from Lainey Wilson because she wants to hop on his track (‘Nice to Meet You’). We dive into all of this, plus his process, and the powerful story behind his single ‘My First Heartbreak’—a raw and heartfelt reflection on the pain he and his family experienced when his father walked away during his childhood. If you like Mumford and Sons, Myles is your guy. His debut album A Minute, A Moment… is out May 23.
