About Miles Kane

Born and raised in Wirral, Merseyside, Miles Kane has carved out a formidable career as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, consistently delivering a brand of rock and roll that’s both timeless and undeniably contemporary. His journey began with the critically acclaimed band The Little Flames, before he went on to achieve significant success with the indie rock duo The Rascals, whose debut album “Rascalize” garnered widespread praise. However, it was Kane’s emergence as a solo artist that truly solidified his status as a rock and roll force.

His debut solo album, “Colour of the Trap” (2011), showcased his burgeoning talent, brimming with infectious melodies and a distinctly retro, yet modern, sound. Hits like “Inhaler” and “Come Closer” immediately established his signature style: a potent cocktail of soulful vocals, sharp guitar riffs, and a healthy dose of swagger. He followed this success with “Don’t Look Down” (2013), which continued to explore his rock and roll roots, featuring tracks such as “Go Down” and “Give Up.”

Kane’s evolution as an artist is marked by his relentless pursuit of authentic rock and roll expression. His third album, “Coup de Grace” (2018), saw him collaborating with a host of impressive names, including Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, further cementing his credentials within the contemporary rock landscape. This album delivered anthems like “Loaded” and “Cry on My Guitar,” demonstrating a maturing songwriting prowess and an unwavering commitment to his energetic sound. Most recently, “Changes” (2023) has seen Kane continuing to refine his craft, exploring new sonic territories while retaining the core elements that make him so captivating.
