Read the heartblake Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Miles (aka. heartblake) i’m an artist from South London, and not only do I do vocals, I also make beats.
One of my most successful vocal song is ‘Long Time’ – https://soundcloud.com/dntcry/long-time-prod-cxld-blxxd – produced by Cxld Blxxd, an amazing producer who I had the joy of finding through his YouTube channel.
I’m currently working on an album, which will be released in the next week or so, hopefully, and i’m trying to get as many collabs done with similar artists, on Soundcloud.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I’ve had so many influences, which have ultimately led me to trying out this whole ‘music thing’. These artists vary from: Red Hot Chilli Peppers, $uicideBoy$, Pouya, Rejjie Snow, LiL Peep, and many many more.
LiL Peep has been my biggest influence though, his music was and still is relatable for me, and since he passed away (rest in peace Gus, I love you), I’ve been determined to keep his legacy going.
What´s new right now?
As I’ve said prior, I’m sort of just playing it by ear, as they say. I’m just trying to release as many collaborative pieces as I can, whilst also trying to really home-in on my personal sound, as I’m not sure I’ve totally found ‘my’ sound.
But yeah, an album is in the works which is very exciting for me!

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
Lil Peep. I don’t know how I because a superfan but it sort of just happened. I could relate to his pain, and sadness so much that I slowly gravitated towards him more and more.

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Try and be unique, don’t change your voice to sound like someone else, or you’ll get lost in the wave of people who are saturating music.
