The 26-year old has become one of 2024's rising stars and has said that he's exceeded his own expectations by surpassing 1 billion streams, landing a top five single and even performing at the highly coveted Glastonbury Festival.

"It's wild...for this to happen and to have so much support from [the] BBC is incredible"

His smash-hit 'Stargazing' even made former president Obama's summer playlist, proving that music is universal and can reach people in high places.

From humble beginnings where he learnt how to play the guitar and piano age 11, to now being due to support Ed Sheeran in 2025, there's no doubt that Myles Smith is on track to becoming a household name.

"I've got an award with my name on it!"
