Life and career

Miles was born on November 6, 2003, in Paxton, Illinois. She was raised by a single-father who worked as a disc jockey. At fourteen, she helped her father prepare his equipment for his gigs, bolstering her interest in pursuing a career in music.[1][2] She attended Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School, where she joined show choir and band.[3] At the end of her junior year of high school, she moved to Sacramento, California with her aunt to pursue a career in the music industry.[4][5]

2022–present: Who Are You, The Voice

In 2022, Miles independently released her debut EP, Who Are You, containing five tracks.[4]

In 2023, Miles competed in the 23rd season of The Voice. In the blind auditions, she sang "The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry. Two of the four coaches, Kelly Clarkson and Niall Horan, turned their chairs for her, while Chance the Rapper and Blake Shelton refrained.[7] She chose to join Team Niall. While competing, Miles shared in an interview with People that her experience on the show was "emotionally draining and scary", while it was "the best experience of her life".[8] Her finale performance of "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor received a positive reception online.[6]

Miles went on to win the season on May 23, 2023. Before Miles was announced as winner of the season, host Carson Daly remarked that the winner of the season, which was revealed to be Miles soon after, had the slimmest margin of victory in all twenty-three seasons of the show.[9] Her win was seen by some outlets as "unexpected" (with even Miles herself expressing shock at her win), as it was widely expected that her closest competitor, runner-up Grace West, from Blake Shelton's team, would win as Shelton's tenth and final victory.[10] Ultimately, Miles won US$100,000 and a record deal with Republic Records, a label owned by Universal Music Group.[11]

On June 30, 2023, Miles performed the national anthem at the special graduation ceremony of Sacramento-based firefighters.[12] Miles served as an opening act to Jewel's concert at The Venue at Thunder Valley, on September 16, 2023.[13]

On July 6, 2023, Miles teased her upcoming song, "Someone New", via Instagram.[14]

On October 8, 2023, Miles performed the National Anthem at the Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers football game.[15]

On May 21, 2024, Miles performed "Wicked Game" at the season 25 finale of The Voice.[16]

On June 10, 2024, Miles performed the American national anthem during Game 2 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals.

Artistry

Miles has stated that while she has been exposed to various genres in her upbringing, including Country and R&B, her favorite genre to sing is Pop.[17] In an interview with Parade, Miles expressed that intends to produce music that "feels authentic and real" to her.[18]

Her debut EP, Who Are You, has been described as "very experimental".[19]
