When Myles Morgan graduated from high school, his dad told him he needed to find a job before college started that September.

“I said, ‘Okay, can I play the guitar for money?’” Myles said. “And he said, ‘Well, if you can figure it out, then sure.’”

After approaching several local establishments, one finally gave him a shot, and that one-night gig snowballed into a steady stream of performances over the next few months. By the time Myles was packing for college, he was already booked to play at the legendary Flora-Bama in Perdido Key.

A lifelong baseball player, Myles felt a deeper calling for music and decided to put down the bat and pick up a guitar during his senior year of high school.

“I always had more of a liking for music than most people, I think,” he said. “I just never pursued it or tried doing it because I was busy playing baseball.”

While it was a significant and difficult decision for Myles, it ultimately proved to be the right one. The 21-year-old singer was recently signed by (name of agency here). He is now working on his yet-to-be-titled debut full-length album, which he said is set for release early next year. For the remainder of 2025, he plans to release one new single each month from the upcoming record.

On this particular afternoon, Myles spoke from a Nashville studio where he was recording the album with producers Clayton Collins and Dalton Wixom, the duo who also worked on his 2024 debut single, “Nobody’s Fault but Yours.”

“I love these guys, and I’m so grateful to have met them,” Myles said. “I truly feel lucky to be working with them on my album.”

As for how the young singer met Collins and Wixom, that story began at a Larry Fleet concert just over a year ago. Myles had attended the show with his girlfriend, holding a poster board that said, “Can I play ‘Where I Find God’ with you?”

Although he didn’t make it on stage that night, Fleet noticed him in the crowd and pulled him aside afterward. That’s when Myles met photographer Matt Paskert, best known as Morgan Wallen’s primary photographer, who helped connect him with the producers he works with now.

When “Nobody’s Fault but Yours” was released, the response was overwhelmingly positive, generating a strong buzz for the Birmingham native. The song currently has more than 900,000 streams on Spotify.

Its popularity can be attributed to Myles’ catchy vocals and chords, but more than anything, it’s the relatability of his lyrics that resonates the most. The song opens with:

Sunsets and ocean silhouettes
Two kids full of love just figuring out this life
Only took a couple of days before the
Feelings cut through like the blade of a sharpened knife
And we both knew that it was unlike
Anything either of us had ever felt before
I thought you knew better than to throw it away
Leaving both of our hearts strung out on the floor

“That was actually about a past relationship,” Myles said, a hint of pride in his voice. “It was the first song I ever wrote.”

He has also released several other tracks, including his own take on the classic Bill Withers 1971 hit, “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

“That song was a lot of fun to play, and it’s one we’d been performing for a long time,” Myles said. “We’ve always done it a little differently and kind of put our own Southern-rock-country twist on it, so we thought it would be fun to release our version.”

Myles released this new version with the help of Dominic Frost, lead guitarist for Morgan Wallen. Frost’s musical instincts left a strong impression on Myles, and over time, the two developed a close artistic rapport. His contributions to the reimagined track were instrumental in shaping its fresh sound, adding both technical expertise and emotional depth that elevated the final product.

“He’s such a fantastic guy—super nice, super down-to-earth—and it was an honor to be able to work with him,” Myles said.

But in addition to drawing inspiration from past relationships and timeless country songs, Myles often finds his creative spark just by stepping outside.

For him, nature isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a writing partner.

“I like to go out to my back porch, sit there, and write songs—or just think about songs,” he said. “‘Is This Seat Taken,’ my third single, was written on the back porch, so it’s definitely a good place to write.”

That creative spirit extends to Scenic Highway 30A on Florida’s Gulf coast, where Myles has spent a good bit of his time. In the “Is This Seat Taken” video, he is seen wearing an italicized “Thirty-A” hat, as a nod to the beach community he loves.

“I love 30A, and I’m proud to rep them in my videos,” said Myles, whose parents were married at 30A’s Tupelo Street Pavilion twenty-three years ago.

“I’ve spent time in the area for spring break trips, and that was a lot of fun.”

Myles recently completed his sophomore year at the University of Alabama, where he’s pursuing a degree in business, an intentional move designed to complement his music career. While many young artists focus solely on writing and touring, Myles sees the bigger picture. He understands that the music industry isn’t just about talent; it’s also about smart decision-making, contracts, branding, and longevity.

“I wanted to have a business background just in case,” he said. “Especially in music.”

Ultimately, though, Myles said his true drive is creating music that feels accessible to other people—songs that listeners can connect with and feel on a deeper level.

“Past experiences definitely influence my songs, but I also try to write about things that people can relate to and connect with,” he said. “I want to write songs that resonate with them.”

While writing and recording are deeply fulfilling, what Myles truly loves is being on stage. Performing live, feeling the crowd’s reaction, and connecting with them through his songs is what fuels his passion for music the most. In April, he played his first-ever headline show—a night he describes as “so, so much fun.”

“It was really cool to play for so many people,” Myles said. “And to be able to play my own headline show? That was amazing.”

On July 18, 2025, Myles will take the stage at Iron City, in his hometown of Birmingham—a milestone that carries personal meaning. It’s the same venue where, not long ago, he stood in the crowd at a Larry Fleet concert, holding up a poster board and hoping to get noticed.

Now, he’s returning, not as a fan in the audience, but as an artist on the bill.

“That will be a full-circle moment,” he said. “I can’t wait for that.”
