United Kingdom (2001 – present)

Myles MacInnes, born 1978 on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, has a trajectory that takes in a childhood on the Isle of Skye, low life in London and Paris and academia in Oxford and Los Angeles. In 2001, he returned to Scotland with one purpose – to submerge himself in music. Now, 5 years later, with his debut album unleashed on the world and numerous hit singles and sell-out tours under his belt, he has been hailed ‘the saviour of dance music’.



The startling debut album, ‘Destroy Rock & Roll’,demonstrates that MacInnes is equally happy warming the soul as he is rocking the dancefloor. “I’m just having fun in the studio,” he begins. “It’s got to have impact, otherwise I just don’t see the point”. Listening to his debut album, ‘Destroy Rock & Roll’ it’s obvious that impact isn’t his only weapon. The high-octane guitar chords, heavy-duty beats and raucous vocals of ‘Destroy Rock’n’Roll’, ‘Muscle Car’ and ‘Drop The Pressure’ are backed by the sun-kissed chords and Bay Area beats of tracks like ‘Sunworshipper’ and ‘Need You Tonight’. While ‘In My Arms’ harks back to his soft rock radio days.

Growing up on Skye, one of the furthest flung corners of Europe, MacInnes couldn’t be too choosy about his sources of music. “Basically we had Atlantic 252,” he explains. “It was this kind-of soft rock station on long-wave. We all believed it to be transmitted from a boat floating out in the mid-Atlantic.”
