Myles Smith is amazed by the 'crazy' success of the past year
The Stargazing hitmaker's profile has rocketed since he released his debut EP You Promised a Lifetime in 2024 and is amazed by his experiences over the past 12 months.
Myles told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Physically, my feet haven't been on the ground a lot.
"It's been crazy. I've toured the world two times in the last year. Mentally for me though, it's about being in the moment and enjoying the fact I'm getting to do the thing I've wanted since I was 10 years old."
Myles was stunned to be named as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world earlier this year and quipped that he thought it was an error by the publication.
The 27-year-old singer said: "I thought Time 100 had made a mistake. Maybe it's actually Time 1,000.
"I'm among Nobel Prize winners and scientists who have figured out the atom, which is pretty cool. I'm just really grateful for all the work I've been doing and all of the messaging I've been trying to get out about funding in schools for music and being able to support grassroots venues.
"It's about really changing the infrastructure landscape of music in the UK and the world. I think I've gone a long way in helping with that."
Myles is supporting Ed Sheeran on his world tour dates across Europe this summer and is particularly looking forward to performing at the Shape of You singer's homecoming gigs at Portman Road – the home of Ed's beloved Ipswich Town Football Club – later this month.
The Nice to Meet You artist said: "Backstage it's going to be rocking. It's going to be wild.
"We've been in France, Germany and everywhere in the last few weeks, and to come home and do it all again is incredible.
"To do it with the ginger legend himself is even better."
Myles played a set on the Woodsies stage at the Glastonbury Festival last weekend and admits that it was tough performing in boiling temperatures at Worthy Farm.
He said: "It was the perfect balance of overwhelming and heat stroke. It's so f****** hot."

Myles Smith is amazed by the 'crazy' success of the past year
Myles Smith's "feet haven't been on the ground" much over the past year.

Queen Elizabeth feared Prince Harry was ‘besotted and weak': New details emerge of royal rift
Long before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle blew up the monarchy with Megxit, the late Queen harboured deep concerns, fearing her grandson was 'besotted and weak' and being manipulated by a woman who 'could turn into nothing but trouble.' Fresh revelations from royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith have laid bare private conversations with Lady Elizabeth Anson, the Queen's first cousin once removed, shedding new light on the royal family's early doubts about Prince Harry's marriage — and their quiet dread ahead of the 2018 wedding, The Sun reported. 'We hope but don't quite think (Meghan) is in love. We think she engineered it all,' Lady Elizabeth told Smith at the time, adding: 'The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both.' The Queen, according to her cousin, was rattled. She had reportedly described Prince Harry as 'rude to her for ten minutes' in the lead-up to the wedding and was blindsided when he asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to officiate without clearing it first. The truth behind Meghan Markles luxe 'homemade' jam 2 min read 'Harry seems to think the Queen can do what she wants, but she can't,' Lady Elizabeth said. 'On the religious side, it is the Dean of Windsor's jurisdiction.' The Queen, she said, believed her grandson had 'blown his relationship with his grandmother.' Though they later patched things up, the tension lingered. Behind the scenes, Meghan's reputation was already slipping. Palace staff had allegedly dubbed her 'Me-gain' and complained of diva-like behaviour, including her demand to mask the 'musty' smell in St George's Chapel with scented spritzers before the ceremony. 'I don't trust Meghan an inch,' Lady Elizabeth later said, citing the Duchess's secrecy about her wedding dress, which unsettled the Queen during a tea day before the wedding. 'Very much so,' she added when asked if Meghan was bossy. As the Sussexes' tensions with the palace worsened — culminating in their Oprah interview and Prince Harry's tell-all memoir — many of Lady Elizabeth's early fears appear to have been validated. The Queen, who died in 2022, did not live to read Spare, nor to see Prince Harry take legal action over his police protection. But the family's divide has only grown deeper. Despite King Charles and Princess Kate Middleton's recent health battles, reconciliation appears out of reach. Even now, Meghan continues to use her royal title in public ventures — including the launch of her new rosé wine — despite previous assurances to the Queen that she wouldn't.
