He has released two self-produced albums, the latest in 2019, entitled “Reading, Riting and Rithmetic”.

“Myles just has one of those voices. It’s an offspring from the “classic” era of rock when amps were stacked on amps and the louder you sang, the harder you rocked. Though the Linden, Manitoba native channels his inner rock god, as heard from the songs in his [recordings], he does so quietly amongst folk-rock instrumentation.” -Gray Owl Point
