Over the past 2 years Myles has created a following of music lovers thirsty for the originality, quality and energy of artists such as Otis Redding, James Brown and many other soul greats at a time when pop music dominates the mainstream.
He now embarks on his first ever solo project and describes the sound as a mixture of soul with rock chord progressions, played by jazz musicians. His intention is to produce music with a feel good vibe and lyrical content that makes people think.
Myles begun uploading live acoustic performance videos on his YouTube channel in 2011, asking his fans to help him choose which songs he would then record in the studio. This very direct and honest approach showcased his authenticity as a real musician and saw him grow popular with fans. It also presented opportunities for him to perform at the prestigious Festival de Giverny in France and various other performances across Europe.
Hoping to pick up where his musical influences have left off, Myles has now released his debut solo album titled 'Born In Black & White'. The album is a very raw and achingly beautiful preview of what to expect from this exceptional artist. When describing his sound, Myles explains, “I want my music to be a real place to feel alive. True motivation is the reaction I get from my audience when I sing and I intend on making music that I love listening to. It’s the only way to stay authentic and not lose yourself in all the other musical influences out there”.
The album has caught the attention of a growing clutch of producers, DJs, bloggers etc, and has enjoyed some airtime on BBC Radio. He will also be releasing the first single from the album titled 'So Hard To Stop' at the end of October accompanied by an edgy and intriguing self-directed music video shot in down town Paris.
Myles plans to return to the studio at the end of the year to record the second album with plans to tour in 2013 to share his music with existing and new fans all around the world.
So Hard to Stop
Myles Sanko Lyrics

Loving me is just a little too easy
Loving me is just a little too easy
But damn so hard to stop now
Ladies and gentlemen have you seen my girl
She's the one with the smile on her face
She's walking around like she owns the town
Oh lord I am petrified I cain't live this lie
She is never satisfied I can see it in her eyes
And I am finding hard to understand
Why she don't love this man
Loving me is just a little too easy
Loving me is just a little too easy
Loving me is just a little too easy
But damn so hard to stop now
She is the one that's driving me down
I cant hardly believe how this love was found
I'm suppose to be happy and free
Instead I'm living this frown
Lord I am petrified I cain't live this lie
She is never satisfied I can see it in her eyes
I give her everything that she wants and she need
This time I'm let her see
Loving me is just a little too easy
Loving me is just a little too easy
Loving me is just a little too easy
But damn so hard to stop now
Oh lord I am petrified I cain't live this lie
She is never satisfied, she is never satisfied
Oh lord I am petrified I cain't live this lie
I can see it in her eyes oh mmmm
She's never satisfied no, no, no
She's never satisfied no, no, no
She's never satisfied no, no, no
Loving me is just a little too easy
Loving me is just a little too easy
Loving me is just a little too easy
But damn so hard to stop now
Loving me girl, loving me yeah, loving me girl, loving me yeah
Loving me girl, loving me yeah, loving me girl, loving me yeah
Cos you got me doing all the foolish things that you want me to do
The lyrics of "So Hard to Stop" by Myles Sanko express the struggle of a man in a relationship where his partner is demanding and hard to please. While he admits that loving him is easy, he also recognizes that it's hard to break away from their relationship. He sings about his conflicting feelings towards his partner, acknowledging that his love for her is effortless, yet her dissatisfaction and constant need for more make it difficult for him to stay.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses his confusion and fear of the situation. He acknowledges that he is lying to himself by staying in the relationship, as he can see his partner's dissatisfaction in her eyes. He feels trapped, unable to break away from a love that was supposed to make him happy, but instead has left him feeling miserable.
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's thoughts on the difficulty of breaking away from a toxic relationship. He is aware that the love he receives is too easy, but the thought of leaving becomes more and more daunting as time passes.
Overall, "So Hard to Stop" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and relationships. It is an honest portrayal of the internal struggles that can arise in a relationship where one partner is overly demanding, and the other is left feeling trapped and unable to escape.

Loving me is just a little too easy
It's very easy for her to love me and show affection towards me
But damn so hard to stop now
Even though it's easy, it's hard to bring an end to her love, and I'm finding it hard to stop
Ladies and gentlemen have you seen my girl
I am addressing the audience, asking if they have seen my girlfriend
She's the one with the smile on her face
She's happy and satisfied with her relationship
She's walking around like she owns the town
She's confident and has a strong presence
Well that's how she gets down, well that's how she gets down
That's her personality and how she carries herself
Oh lord I am petrified I cain't live this lie
I am scared and afraid of living a life of deceit
She is never satisfied I can see it in her eyes
She's always seeking more and never completely satisfied, and it's evident in her expressions
And I am finding hard to understand
I am struggling to comprehend her way of thinking and her feelings towards me
Why she don't love this man
I cannot understand why she doesn't love me
She is the one that's driving me down
She's the one causing my troubles and bringing me down
I cant hardly believe how this love was found
It's hard to fathom how we fell in love and ended up in this situation
I'm suppose to be happy and free
I should be living a life of happiness and freedom
Instead I'm living this frown
But instead, I'm living a life of sadness and disappointment
I give her everything that she wants and she need
I provide her with everything she desires and everything she requires
This time I'm let her see
But this time, I'm going to let her see the consequences of her actions
Oh lord I am petrified I cain't live this lie
I am still scared and unable to live a life of dishonesty
I can see it in her eyes oh mmmm
I can clearly see her unhappiness and dissatisfaction, along with her intentions
She's never satisfied no, no, no
She's always yearning for more and never content
Loving me girl, loving me yeah, loving me girl, loving me yeah
She's expressing her love for me
Cos you got me doing all the foolish things that you want me to do
She's manipulating me, causing me to do foolish things, and I'm allowing it due to my love for her
