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, 6.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and almost 850k followers on TikTok.
Speaking about his debut EP, Myles said, “It’s been a dream of mine to visit South Africa…so excited to bring the music to Cape Town and Johannesburg. I’m ready to give you a show you’ll never forget! Let’s make some unforgettable memories together”.
Myles Smith’s tour of South Africa is set to be an unforgettable experience, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career. Fans can look forward to experiencing his heartfelt and emotive performances live for the first time on South African soil.
