Floyd Miles has something special. With his latest EP ‘No Place Like Om’ he offers a unique variety of songs that put his talents as a multi-genre artist on full display.
His music has a sound that uplifts, inspires, and entertains as he puts no limits on the context and sound of his music.
“Music has always come naturally to me,” Miles tells RemixdMag. “It’s one thing in life I’ve never had to force. The world inspires me; it could be anything, a love interest, a friend, a flower. There’s a song in everything.”
The EP ‘No Place Like Om’ [NPLO] is an 8-track project that offers a blend of sounds that range from Afrobeats to R&B and hip-hop notes. During an interview with RemixdMag, Floyd Miles says that he loves a good challenge and the creation of different sounds that went into this project proved to be one for him.
“I hadn’t really created Afrobeats music prior, but I love a challenge,” he said. “NPLO was an opportunity for me to build a new sound and to offer something that people had not heard, or were not used to hearing from me. Naturally, there are still nuances of R&B in my music, but Afrobeats, and the sub-genres within it, gave me the space to have some more fun with the music while sharing an important message with the people.”

What is this project about in your own words?
Each song on “No Place Like Om” has its own purpose. There isn’t one set message. That’s kind of like asking what life is about—each day has its own lesson and at the end of each day we can step back to analyze things from our perspectives. I want people to listen to the entire EP so they can determine what it means to them.

I am already working on the next project, but I plan to push “No Place Like Om” past the limit!

I want people to enjoy the music and to take away from it what they feel is necessary.
