Myles was a contestant on season 22 ofThe Voice. She was on coachCamila Cabello’s team and afinalist on her season.Since then, she’s gotten tomake her Grand Ole Opry debut.
“[It] was literally a dream come true. I can’t explain what an honor it was to have this take place for my soul and to keep going. After the show I was processing a lot and to be able to step onto this stage singing my original music, then getting a standing ovation, [it] brought me to tears,” she says.
Myles also says that choosing the Ryman in Nashville as her venue for the “Hallelujah” music video was like destiny: “It was like the Ryman chose me.”
“I was offered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right after my Opry debut and it was a no-brainer for me. The ‘Mother Church’ has this spiritual embedded history in its walls, pews, everywhere. All the greats have played there before you and when you’re in that space you’re swept away,” she says.

In the music video, Myles appears on stage wearing a red gown and eventually makes her way through the venue as she sings along to the peaceful tune.
“I can’t think of a more appropriate song that could represent the Ryman,” Myles adds. “‘Hallelujah’ and the Ryman both embody a deep-rooted connection that makes music sound more beautiful than anywhere else.”
Myles — who released her albumTherapyin 2020 and is gearing up to go on tour — says she has “new music coming very soon.” To stay up to date on all things Myles, sign up for her “Mylestone” fan club atmorganmyleslive.com.
