Mista Myles Stays Dynamic By Letting The Vibe Speak First

Only a handful of emerging artists can match Mista Myles' chameleon‑like versatility. He refuses to be pigeonholed. His catalog flows seamlessly across Afrobeats, R&B, Pop, and Highlife. Some might label him a vibe mercenary, others simply a dynamic force. What sets him apart is his instinctive style: he allows the “vibe” to guide him, hopping onto any beat that resonates.

This unpolished, flexible artist has already achieved significant career milestones, especially the high‑profile collaboration with Ghanaian legend Shatta Wale on “Body.” The collaboration not only produced a hit but also solidified his belief in success: the undeniable truth that “anything is possible if you keep putting in the work.”

Currently, songs such as the lyrically focused “Camavinga” and “Rizzler” form the core of his latest releases, and a notable 2023 nomination for Uncovered Artist of the Year sits on his résumé. Mista Myles is now aiming for a long‑term vision: he seeks to emulate Wizkid’s legacy, building a career anchored in “longevity and the work ethic.”

We sit down with Mista Myles, whose career is poised to explode into a dynasty.

You’ve said music is a means to connect with people and express yourself. When did you first recognize music as that bridge for you?

Mista Myles: When I finished high school, I was already surrounded by many like‑minded creatives. That period was essential in building my confidence because even then I could see the small impact my early sounds had on those around me.

What role did your personal experiences play in shaping your sound and lyrics early on?

Mista Myles: My early sound wasn’t driven by personal stories; it emerged from simply listening to the music I loved then, mainly Afrobeats and pop.

Your repertoire spans Afrobeats, R&B, Pop, and Highlife. How do you decide which genre best fits a song idea?

Mista Myles: It all comes down to the beat we’re working with. I’ll dive into any vibe that speaks to me.

“Body” brought you a feature with Shatta Wale. How did that collaboration shape you afterwards as an artist?

Mista Myles: The key takeaway from that collaboration was that anything is possible if you keep putting in the work.

Among your recent releases, “Camavinga”, “Rizzler”, and “Shantel”, which one do you feel best represents where you are now creatively?

Mista Myles: Why? Camavinga and Rizzler, because they were intentional projects where I had to write, edit, and refine. I don’t want to diminish the effort behind Shantel, but that track was more for fun.

Which artists have influenced you the most, and how do you hope to pay that forward to the next generation of Ghanaian musicians?

Mista Myles: Wizkid is my top influence; his longevity and work ethic are huge, and those are qualities I aim to embody and pass on to future Ghanaian artists. Recently, Asake has also become a key influence.

How do you balance creating songs that reflect your personal journey with making music people can universally relate to?

Mista Myles: I believe my personal journey resonates with many, and it naturally seeps into most of my tracks, so I don’t consciously separate them.

What does success look like for Mista Myles?

Mista Myles: Success for me means having a constantly engaged audience that connects with my sound and eagerly awaits each new release.

You were celebrated for your nomination as Uncovered Artist of the Year in 2023. What did that nod mean for your confidence and career direction?

Mista Myles: It was a massive confidence boost. I’m deeply grateful, and it fueled my hunger to pursue even greater achievements.

Ghana’s music scene is exploding globally right now. How do you see yourself contributing to that movement while maintaining your unique voice?

Mista Myles: I simply stay true to myself. Preserving my distinct voice is how I believe I can best contribute to the industry.
