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 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."

He said: "It was the perfect balance of overwhelming and heat stroke. It's so f****** hot."

My life has changed massively, says Myles Smith
Myles Smith's life has changed "massively" over the last year. The 26-year-old musician has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last 12 months, after initially developing a fan following through TikTok - but Myles hasn't allowed his recent success to change him. Speaking to the BBC, the 'Stargazing' hitmaker explained: "Eighteen months ago, I was still figuring a lot of things out. "Now I'm touring, releasing music that's reaching people all over the world, meeting heroes of mine. "But at the same time, I'm still just me. Still grounded in the same values. Still got the same people around me." Myles' friends and family have helped him to remain balanced. The singer shared: "I try to stay close to my people. My family, my team, my friends - they keep me level. "And I write. Even if it's not for a song, just getting stuff out helps. "And when I can, I get home. There's something about being back in Luton that resets everything for me." Myles believes he's been "shaped" as an artist by his upbringing in Luton, England. He explained: "I had a music teacher who really believed in me - and my mum, always pushing me to keep going, even when I wasn't sure. "I used to play little open mics, local gigs when I could find them. Nothing glamorous, but those nights taught me a lot. "Luton's always been home. It shaped me." Asked what advice he'd offer to young musicians in Luton, Myles replied: "Don't wait for permission. If you love it, do it. Write the songs, upload them, play the gigs - no matter how small. "Keep going even when it feels like no-one's listening, because someone will. "I'm proof that you don't have to come from a big city or a fancy school to make it work. You've just got to stay honest and consistent." Myles loves spending time with his fans. However, the 'Nice to Meet You' hitmaker is also keen to take some time to reflect on his recent success. He said: "Honestly, I'm just looking forward to connecting with more people. That's always been the best part of this. And maybe, if I'm lucky, a bit of time to breathe and take it all in."
