The Story
Before the Brit Award, before the sold out tour, before the stadium shows, Myles Smith stepped onto the stage at a Something Dope Open Mic. It was his first ever performance in the United States.
He got on the mic, performed a song, and even received an encore. All of it captured on film.
The crowd was right. Years later, Myles has won a Brit Award, sold out his own tour of over 100,000 tickets, and is on the road with Ed Sheeran including a run at SoFi Stadium.
Same artist. Same voice. The Open Mic was the first place in the US that heard it.
