Myles Smith's final choices on Tracks Of My Years

Singer-songwriter Myles Smith joins Vernon to pick his final two Tracks of My Years, including one from Taylor Swift. Plus two listeners take on the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top and Vernon makes his final visit to the Vault this week.

Born in 1998 in Luton, Myles Smith grew up listening to a mixture of church music, motown and R&B, starting to play music at school during his lunch breaks. He went to Nottingham University to study sociology, also working in a supermarket and performing music in his spare time. In 2022, his TikTok videos were spotted by music manager Eric Parker, who went on to sign Myles. He released the global hit Stargazing in 2024, which has hit over a billion streams, and in 2025 he was nominated for three BRIT Awards, including winning the Rising Star Award. He has played live across the world, including huge tours with Ed Sheeran, and next month releases his highly anticipated debut album My Mess, My Heart, My Life, followed by a headline arena tour in the autumn.
