Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Miles began making music in 2016. In 2018 they became a founding member of punk-rock-inspired internet rap group Cemetery Drive, and began their solo career in earnest in 2020.

Miles’ music reflects and embraces the contradictions of life and identity, of confidence and humility, of autonomy and limit, of humor and even joy in sadness. When we befriend our pain it dissipates. When we share our parallel journeys from a place of authenticity and ownership, vulnerability is a strength.

Miles is working on their debut album.

In their early teens Miles memorized an encyclopedia of lyrics while falling in love with the writing, craft, and conviction of artists like Big L, Rakim, and Ms. Lauryn Hill. Like many contemporaries (such as JID and Sylvan LaCue), Miles’ work centers on interpreting the spirit and sensibilities of an earlier generation of hip-hop through the lenses of modern aesthetics and of their own life and experiences.

Won't Love Myself. next Friday May 24 🌊🌤 an official music video premieres the same day on YouTube Friday May 24 @ 4pm PST. go hit "notify me" on the premiere page.

many of us have an uncomfortable or painful relationship with ourselves. sometimes it's easier to project the love you feel onto someone you haven't picked apart and judged so thoroughly.

but real love comes from understanding and abundance not idealization. so the cliche is true that you can only love someone (as their true self) as deeply as you've learned to love and accept all parts of yourself. the anger and frustration and disappointment we feel towards ourselves will inevitably emerge in the people and world around us, and we can choose to go on blaming the world or heal and accept.

anyway I love yall so u should too 😭❤️ can't wait to share this song.
