Myles, a former child prodigy on guitar is a multi-instrumentalist and has been playing Guitar, Keyboards, Drums and Bass since he was 10 years old. Myles has composed, performed, produced, and engineered all of the original tracks on his first four albums. His original style of music is a blend of Roots Americana and R&B, while still lending his talents to the Rock 'n' Roll genre.
Myles graduated from the Purchase Conservatory for Music in NY with a degree in Musical Performance. Not long after, he relocated to the Florida Keys where he performed up and down the Keys for a year and a half, before relocating to Nashville where he spent about 2 years gigging nightly on Broadway, at clubs like “The Stage”, Gavin DeGraw’s “Nashville Underground”, and other top venues on the historic Music Row, Broadway Strip. Myles also helped various local Nashville artists write and record tracks at a number of studios around Music City, using his musical abilities to play Bass, Drums and Keyboards for various up and coming artists in the Nashville area. Nashville made a strong impression on him, and he wanted to capture the sounds of Music City on his most recent album “Southern State of Mind”. All of the instruments and lyrics were played and written by Myles.
Myles has been fronting his own band and performing professionally for audiences since the age of ten. Due to his talent and experience at such a young age (where he was given the nickname of "MOJO MYLES"), Myles was headlining many of Manhattan‘s top venues before he graduated high school. He was recognized in 2010 by TrueFire as one of the Top 10 Guitar Prodigies in the World. He’s frequently performed on some of the top stages in New York City, such as BB Kings Club, The Brooklyn Bowl, The Iridium Jazz Club, The Cutting Room, The Village Underground, Rockwood Music Hall, Café Wha and more.
Over the course of his career, Myles has also played at popular festivals such as the Warren Haynes' Mountain Jam Festival, the Sarasota Blues Festival, Gathering of the Vibes, The New York State Blues Festival, Rochester Jazz Festival, and the Bethel Woods Blues Festival. Along with performing on well-known stages, Myles’ band has opened for a variety of national artists, such as The Allman Brothers, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Les Paul, Levon Helm and others.
Some other notable moments in Myles’ music career; in 2012 The Myles Mancuso Story was nominated for an Emmy in the Entertainment: Program Feature/Segment category. In 2010 Myles won an award from Boston's Berklee College of Music for a jazz piano performance with "The Jazz Machine" (two-time national champions of the annual High School Jazz Band Competition at the Berklee College of Music).
