On Sunday in Ireland, a concert broke out at the NFL’s first Dublin game. As the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings departed for the break, Myles Smith took centerstage to entertain the fans in attendance.
Best known for his song ‘Stargazing,’ the British singer-songwriter introduced himself to a worldwide audience in Ireland.
If you’re wondering who this breakout artist is, here’s a little background on him and a look at the halftime performance.
Who is Myles Smith?
Smith a British singer-songwriter.
The 27-year-old is a native of Luton, England and rose to fame after posting clips on TikTok, building a fanbase on the popular social media app by posting covers of other popular songs.
It wasn’t always about music for Smith though.
He initially dove into the business scene after graduating from the University of Nottingham in 2019, starting his own company at 19 and making it profitable by age-23.
‘I was earning good money, but I wasn’t fulfilled within my heart,’ Smith told Billboard in 2024. ‘That, for me, was a moment of realizing that I can’t dedicate years of my life to doing something that I know I’m truly not completely invested in.’
Eric Parker, founder of Extended Play Music Group, discovered Smith on TikTok in 2022 and reached out, becoming his manager later that year. The duo continued building an audience on social media before seeking out a traditional deal with a label.
Smith signed with RCA UK, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.
