David Myles - Spotlight Series - Saturday February 6, 2010

David Myles is a captivating performer, internationally recognized songwriter and award winning recording artist.

David Myles is a fresh force on the Canadian entertainment landscape and his most recent release “On The Line” showcase his creativity, vocal versatility and musical dexterity. The cd is a powerful and stylish blend of jazz, blues, gospel, pop and folk influences that has already been recognized with numerous awards and nominations, including the 2009 ECMA Folk Recording of the Year Award. The trademark enthusiasm and likeability that make David such an instant favourite with audiences shine through on his latest release.

David is fearless in his arrangements - from Hammond Organ to double bass to an outstanding horn section - he enjoys an acoustic palate that marries rich and elegant with animated and imaginative. In live shows he serves it up with the energy of a demon, and audiences immediately open up to his honest and passionate delivery. David is a young man but he has old-soul wisdom that connects him with people on the most fundamental level.

David’s last release, “Things Have Changed,” exposed him to new national and international audiences and earned him industry recognition in the form of two Music Nova Scotia Awards, and nominations for both the 2007 Canadian Folk Music Best New Artist Award and the ECMA Galaxie Rising Star Recording of the Year. Compelling and laconically comical, “When It Comes My Turn” won first place in the International Songwriting Competition and was the winning song at the 2008 Chris Austin Merlefest Songwriting Contest in the folk singer/songwriter category - a standout favourite with audiences.

From small house concerts to major festivals and national and international showcase events, demand for David is growing across Canada and the US. Audience and industry reaction to his newest release is enthusiastic and embracing.

Reviews

“.. stylistically David Myles is a little bit jazz, a little bit folk, a little bluesy and a lot easy-going charm with solid singing and arranging. It's a pretty compelling package and his third release, On The Line masterfully brings all those elements together.”
-  CKDU Radio Network

“This Halifaxian musician leans on the folk side of the genre spectrum. But he is not afraid to pepper his well-written songs with gospel, jazz and rock. He won the 2008 Chris Austin Songwriting Contest, the 2006 International Songwriting Contest and his 2007 release – Things Have Changed – earned him two Music Nova Scotia awards and the East Coast Music Award for Galaxies Rising Star Recording of The Year. That is lots of accolades.”
