Dizzy Miles

Tony Coke: Your music is hard to define! It’s electronic, do you have any specific genre you like to claim as your own?

Dizzy Miles: Yes, I call my music dance/funk. The track “Dark Elegance”, I classify as classical hip hop. I’m a big fan of Henry Mancinni, Burt Bacharac, George Clinton and Joe Zawinul. I take my 20th century influences and bring them into the present.

Tony Coke: You have quite a few songs available online. It looks like several songs are on multiple EP’s or LP, and available as singles. Is there a specific strategy you are using in doing that?

Dizzy Miles: The single comes first and then the EP. Or my producer, Doug Cash, will combine tracks from multiple singles or EPs to make an album. Hopefully, it keeps it interesting for the listener.

Tony Coke: I would think many of your tracks would be appealing to TV and Film music directors. Have you have any tracks licensed, and is that something you consider when creating tracks or albums?

Dizzy Miles: I simply write, arrange and record what comes to me through a myriad of inspirations.
My label, Pryor 2 What ? Records, recently signed a non exclusive licensing agreement with Producer Content for cable and network television, independent and feature films and games.
We’re very excited to see where the music is going to land and in which medium.Being non exclusive gives you the option to license with multiple outlets internationally.

Tony Coke: How long have you been creating music and do you perform live?

Dizzy Miles: Back in 2000, I was exposed to the band ” Deep Forest “. That was my main motivation to start writing and recording. That experience also triggered memories of some of my favorite arrangements. Like 1984 by The Eurythmics and Animals by Pink Floyd. I wanted to take those sonic themes of space and depth and apply them to my arrangements.When it comes to playing live I have little to no interest. I’m happiest as a studio musician working for Pryor 2 What ? Records.

Tony Coke: What is up on deck next for Dizzy Miles and what is the best way for people to get a hold of your music ?

Dizzy Miles: Right now we’re just spit balling ideas for 2016. Maybe a compilation that combines tracks from all of my releases.Tentatively entitled: Cyclamen.
