Myles Manley is a singer, songwriter and musician from Sligo, Ireland.
His musical output consists mostly of sweetly melodious, literary pop songs with idiosyncratic rhythm.
He has released two album 'Greatest Hits 2012-2013' [2013] and 'Cometh the Softies' [2020], an EP 'More Songs' [2015] and several singles to critical acclaim, notably triple A-sides 'Aaa' [2020] and 'Jeremiaaad' [2025]. These releases have been accompanied by fantastical music videos made in collaboration with filmmakers such as Bob Gallagher, Seamus Hanly and Michael Higgins, which situate Myles Manley somewhere between enigmatic popstar and outsider folk artist.
Myles Manley has toured the Ireland, the UK, Europe and America in the last number of years in a three piece band with Chris Barry and Solamh Kelly.
