It has been an incredible week for Miles Graham, a week which has seen his debut single, ‘All So Innocent’, get playlisted in Ireland and acquire mass attention whilst also creating a stir with British media moguls. Quite a feat for a relatively unknown artist. Sunday morning saw BBC show Weekend Wogan give Miles a great plug to some 2 million listeners with shows presenter, Richard Madelely, commenting that, “’Very promising, very good start to what will be an excellent Career” and later tweeting about how much he enjoyed Miles’ new single, All So Innocent’.
Career momentum has been growing apace for this most talented singer songwriter, whose material has been raising eyebrows within this most cynical of industries. His debut album, due for release in early 2014, is almost completed, and industry insiders, are tipping Graham for very big things indeed..
An interesting development, reflective of changing critical and consumer behavior was Miles’ adoption by MSN, potentially exposing him to an audience of 2.5 million. The coming weeks shall provide a hectic schedule for the Sligo-based Dubliner, as he heads for the UK to showcase his material to industry nabobs and public alike.
Miles Graham is an all round musician with a talent rarely found. With a warm, magnetic voice that compares to none and a songwriting talent possessed of something of the quality of a younger Van Morrison, what sets Miles apart is that he marries this with the commercial appeal of James Morrison and Ray LaMontagne.
His songs are real and authentic, bringing to mind Bono’s idea about
“eternal melodies”: ‘You can’t imagine that melody not existing’. Miles Graham’s songs are like that.
The introductory release from the talented Irishman, All So Innocent, perfectly showcases his songwriting talent. Whilst the opening is reminiscent of Paolo Nutini, Graham’s vocals soon transfer the song into the soul-pop realms of James Morrison, lifted by syncopated piano and soaring strings that make this an irresistible laid-back summer track.
After being born into a large family in Dublin, Miles grew up writing music and when he moved to County Sligo as a young adult he found his artistic home. Today, Graham remains based in Sligo, nestling in the landscape that inspired and nourished the genius of Yeats, a region inexorably on the rise to take its rightful place as Ireland’s capital of music and creativity.
Miles came to the attention of the renowned producer Richard Causon (Tom Jones, Rufus Wainright, Ryan Adams) and nowadays spends a lot of time in London co-writing, recording and honing his craft.
