Almost three months ago, Myles sat down for an interview with IEDM. Talking about the beginnings of his music career, Myles discussed how DJ Diesel had a huge impact on the type of music for which the young musician would develop a taste.

Myles talked about how he chose not to follow in his stepfather’s footsteps and play basketball like his siblings, Shareef and Me’arah. Due to this, it was hard for him to find something that could be used to bond with his father. Once Shaq Diesel started pursuing his DJ Career, however, things quickly changed.

“I would go on tour with him and music really brought us way closer together,” said Myles during the interview. “Our music fuses us together, which makes me appreciate what I do that much more.”
