Hot off the heels of the release of his track ‘River’ and sold out UK, EU and US tour, singer-songwriter and DIY phenom extraordinaire Myles Smith today announces his debut EP ‘You Promised A Lifetime’ will be released on March 29th along with a string of brand new UK and European dates.
Luton born Myles, a guitar player from the age of nine, is the man behind streaming sensations ‘Solo’ and ‘My Home’. Over the last year, his profile has sky-rocketed as he’s released a string of original tracks and captivating covers that mix folk, Americana and pop. His dedicated fanbase is evident, with 100million streams to his name, over 569K followers on Instagram, 5.7million monthly listeners on Spotify and almost 800K followers on TikTok. If that wasn’t enough, his current ‘The Not So Lonely’ UK, EU and US tour has completely sold out, making Myles one of the hottest new artists for his army of fans who have been there singing every word to every song.
Myles said of his debut EP: ‘This title represents a profound, yet neutral statement, which gains meaning through the perspective of the person reading it. With the project, my own stories, and the stories of those around me were used to create it, but it’s the stories and journeys of those listening who truly give it life, depending on where you are in life and what you are feeling. I hope it gives space to people to unlock their own meanings.
To top it off, Myles has also announced a string of Spring tour dates in the UK and EU. Tickets will go on sale on 1st March and buying info can be found here. A full list of dates are below:

Drawing inspiration from music he listened to growing up, he began his musical career by singing covers from the likes of Chris Martin, Mumford & Sons and Ed Sheeran but it was his rendition of The Neighbourhood’s ‘Sweater Weather’ which saw things move online. Since then he’s amassed over 90million global streams of his own music, most notably with independently released Solo and My Home.
A university graduate, Myles has also set up a diversity, equality and inclusion business supporting globally successful educational institutions, organisations, sports clubs and firms to embody informed anti-racist principles and approaches.
