The soul singer and songwriter based in
England known as Myles Sanko released
his debut "Born in Black & White" to
broad critical and fan acclaim in 2013.
Featuring seven original funk and soul
tracks written and performed by Myles
himself, this EP was perceived and
played in the style of soul greats such
as Bill Withers, Otis Redding, Al Green
and James Brown, all of whom Myles
openly names and proudly as his main
musical influences. A stop-to-finish
work of deep grooves and jazzy musical
knowledge, Now "Born in Black & White"
is followed up by Myles Sanko's first
full-length album "Forever Dreaming".
Dubbed as the lovechild of soul music,
Myles Sanko began his music career by
singing and rapping alongside disc
jockeys in nightclubs. He has fronted
popular bands such as Bijoumiyo, plus
working with funk kings Speedometer who
were touring with James Brown's 35
years soul sister Ms Martha High. My
intention, writes Myles, is to produce
music with a feel good vibe and lyrical
content that makes my listeners think.
In order to select an appropriate
collection of compositions for
professional recording in the studio,
Myles uploaded live videos of himself
giving acoustic performances to the
internet. He then invited his bevy of
fans throughout Europe to give their
opinions regarding which tracks would
best fit his debut EP release. This
interactive spirit, which has guided
Myles's solo career to date, reveals
much about his humanist spirit, genial
character, and artistic integrity.
I want my music to be a place to feel
alive, says Myles Sanko. True
motivation is the reaction I get from
my audience when I perform, and I
intend on making music that I love
listening to. It's the only way to stay
authentic and to not lose yourself in
all the other musical influences out
there. With his eight piece band Rick
Hudson (drums), Neil Cowlan (guitar),
Tiago Coimbra (bass), Tom O'Grady
(piano/Rhodes), Neil Penny (trumpet),
Matt Mckay (saxophone/flute), Tom White
(trombone) amd Ric Elsworth
(percussion) Myles Sanko 10 versatile
compositions Myles wrote with his
longtime songwriting partner Thierry
Los from France. Styles are ranging
from the melodic soul-jazz oft he title
track "Forever Dreaming" through the
spiritual acid jazz of "Take A Look At
Me Now" to the energetic soul dancer
"Shooting Star".
