Aeris Roves, real name Kyle Miller, is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Worksop, South Yorkshire, England,[1] but now based in London. He is signed to RCA Records.[2]
Early life[edit]
As a child he sang in a choir. He moved to London aged 11, performed in a school production at the O2 Arena, and taught himself to play his father's old guitar. Rather than contemporary pop, he grew up listening to soul music – The Drifters, The Temptations, Roy Orbison, Frank Ocean, etc.[3]
He studied economics and maths in college but quit to go to East London Arts & Music for sixth form. He started writing songs in his last year at ELAM and learned production in its studio.[4]
A chance meeting with his now manager occurred when a fellow student was looking for a guitarist for one of her college shows. She connected him with producer Two Inch Punch, who took on a mentor role and worked with him on his tracks almost from the beginning.
Stage name[edit]
He adopted his stage name from the Latin word 'Aeris' (atmosphere) plus 'Roves' to suggest travelling.
Career[edit]
He released his debut track "Best Dressed Man" in March 2018,[5] followed by "Feel Me", which netted more than four million streams on Spotify.
In 2018 he signed with RCA Records and opened for Billie Eilish on her nine-day European tour.[6] In the Fall of that year he toured with Grace Carter in Europe and the UK.[7]
In November 2018 He released his debut project, Moon By Island Gardens, named after a park on the Isle of Dogs. It featured contributions from Two Inch Punch, Mssingo,[8] and John Calvert.[9] The single 'Delilah' premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show[10] and subsequently was streamed more than five million times on Spotify.
In March 2019 he performed with Take That at a Teenage Cancer Trust show at the Royal Albert Hall,[11] and in October 2019 at the Neighborhood Festival in Manchester.[12]
He released the single "Don't Ask" on 16 May 2019[13] and on 16 August 2019, he released the single "Offline".[14]
