With Phoenix Season out now, we took some time to hear from Myles Sky. Read below to learn more about Myles Sky, the story behind Phoenix Season, and what’s to come.

Hi Myles Sky! Let’s start with how did you get your artist name?

My name just came to me – the truth is I have autism, so I didn’t really want my real name out there. And the name, Myles Sky, has stuck ever since.

What city are you from, and where are you based now?

My hometown is Guisborough in Cleveland North Yorkshire. I currently live in Saltburn by the sea in North Yorkshire. Based in Teesside, I’m a Teessider through and through and nothing could ever change that.

At what point in your life did you decide to pursue a career in music? How did you get started?

It was actually never intentional. I was going through a very rough patch at one point, and wrote a song about my feelings and then accidentally released it to the public. And, I just took off from there and that’s how it all started.

How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?

I like to think of my music as a similar style to artists like Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Alex Warren and Olivia Rodrigo. More of the sad, slow vibe of music.

Do you have any hobbies outside of music? What do you do to stay creative?

I love to read – Frieda McFadden is my favourite author. I love to watch football, especially my team Middlesbrough that is sitting 2nd in the league. And, I love to game also.

Who are some of your main musical influences?

My favourite artist ever is Billie Eilish, her music helped me through times where I didn’t think I would make it, it would be a dream come true to collab with her.

What’s one of the proudest moments of your music career so far?

My two albums definitely. The fact that I’ve reached over eight countries worldwide including the United States, China and Australia to name a few.

What would you say are the greatest lessons that you’ve learned so far?

Take nothing for granted in this life. Everything can change at the drop of a hat.

Now onto your release, Phoenix Season. What inspired this album?

It’s about the rebirth of yourself after going through a very rough patch is your life. I’m hoping it relates to other people and helps them also.

What is the overall theme of Phoenix Season?

It’s a rock pop/pop theme.

What was the inspiration behind the cover artwork for Phoenix Season?

It’s showing the rebirth from the ashes coming out as a new person.

What was the creative process like when making Phoenix Season?

It was quite easy for me, as I say I write from experience, so every song is what I’ve been through in my life.

How long did it take to complete Phoenix Season?

I’d say I was working on it for about 2/3 months.

Is there a specific song on Phoenix Season that speaks to you the most? If so, what is it called, and what is it about?

Yes, it’s called “Pretty When I Break Things,” it’s about realising your better than what other people say and you need to realise it yourself.

What message or messages do you hope fans take away from Phoenix Season and your music in general?

The main message is that it will all get better over time. It may feel like the world is ending now, but give it time, work on yourself and you will become a better person.

What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects, or do you have any upcoming shows that we should be on the lookout for?

I’m already working on my new album – it’s going to be a three-part mini album series. No shows upcoming currently.

Before you go, do you want to shout out anybody?

I want to shout out a few very important people in my life. Firstly, my grandparents who have been so supportive since I started – they are my biggest followers. Secondly, my best mate, Kienan – since I started, he has listened to every single song and constantly hyped me up, and is so proud of the career that I’ve made. When asked what he thinks about Myles Sky and my career, he said “I am so proud of how far Myles has come, he is doing brilliantly and I’m glad that we are best mates.” The third person that I want to shout out is my wonderful girlfriend – she is so supportive of everything and always there for me no matter what. And obviously all of my followers – I wouldn’t have a career without any of you. It means the world to me, thank you!

Thank you for the great interview; wish you much continued success!
