Believing itâ€™s her mission to help people through the power of music, Myles is a full-time touring musician having opened for artists like Luke Bryan, Rick Springfield, Hank Williams Jr., Old Dominion, Jake Owen, and Kane Brown. She also recently sang back up on Cody Johnsonâ€™s radio single â€œNothing on You.â€
In 2020, Myles won Artist and Record of the year for the Nashville Industry Music Awards for her debut album â€œTherapy,â€ receiving praise from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and American Songwriter. Recently Myles got a cut on Ty Herndonâ€™s new record as a songwriter.
Mylesâ€™ songs are shaped from her many years as a nanny to a mother diagnosed with ALS. Recently, Myles lost her close cousin to brain cancer, not too long after their grandfather passed away from a brain tumor.
Myles competed on season 22 of ‘The Voice’ on NBC, where she received a four chair turn in four seconds singing her rendition of “Hallelujah.” Her views add to over 30 million for her performances on the show. Myles finished in the Top 3 of the competition.
After her performance of Lady Gaga’s “Always Remember Us This Way” dedicated to her late cousin and grandfather, the Glioblastoma Foundation named her the National Ambassador of the Foundation in February of 2023. Myles was invited to make her Opry debut this past January, where she received a standing ovation from the audience after performing two original songs, “Sanctuary” and “Woman of My Word”… AND you may have seen her walking the red carpet at this year’s Grammy Awards!
She’ll be joined Monday, May 29th (Memorial Day) on the LA Fleet Week main EXPO stage from 3:30-5:00 PM by fellow The Voice alum Brayden Lape, who took a chance as a fifteen-year-old, auditioned for the show, and accomplished a remarkable Top 5 finish.
