Born in Georgetown, SC, acting has always been in Myles' blood. Growing up watching his parents perform church plays at the age of 3, inspired him to take the stage as well. He first started performing his own routines for his family members at cookouts and gatherings at the age of 4, before actually stepping in front of the camera at age 8. He moved to Atlanta, GA in 2008 when he was 10 years old and took a break from acting before returning to it in 2012 when he started taking acting classes at The Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, GA. Myles started attending New Manchester High School in August 2011, but didn't start acting in school productions until 2013, after he had concluded at The Alliance. He graduated from New Manchester High School's Fine Arts Magnet Education Program in 2015 with a Drama seal and performed the lead in A Raisin in the Sun under direction from Robert John Connor. Myles then continued his education at University of West Georgia for 3 semesters before transferring to The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts in 2017. At NYCDA, Myles studied Meisner Technique under Amy Horne & Steve Perlmutter. He also was taught Scene Study under Jay Goldenberg, Richard Omar, Abigail Zealey Bess and Ruth Nerken. Myles graduated with an Associate's Degree in Film and Television Performance from NYCDA in 2018.
