Miles Caton's SHOCKING Confession! Is He Ready for Stardom?

Few teenagers can boast about rocking stadium tours worldwide, then casually strolling back for prom and graduation. Yet, there's Miles Caton, the breakout star of Sinners, relaxed and incredibly humble, chatting via Zoom like it's any other Tuesday morning. This kid is on the precipice of major stardom, and I wanted to know what makes him tick.

Miles Caton's SHOCKING Confession! Is He Ready for...

Take me back, I asked, to baby Miles growing up in New York before the Sinners phenomenon. What did you dream of being back then? "I started singing when I was three," Miles replied, a genuine smile spreading across his face. "I remember the first time performing in front of an audience, the reaction, how I felt in that moment. That's when I knew I wanted to be an artist. I've always been the family clown, running around trying to make people laugh, putting smiles on faces by doing crazy stuff. I was also wild, making jokes I definitely shouldn't have been making!" He laughs. "That spirit is tied into entertainment, so being an artist always made sense."

So, was it performing arts high school all the way, I wondered? Turns out, not exactly. When asked about his favorite and least favorite subjects, Caton didn't hesitate. "My favorite subject was history. Easiest was art. And my most difficult? Math, 100%. I’m completely on the creative side of my brain, so I own that!" he chuckled. It's refreshing to see someone so comfortable in their strengths, embracing their artistic leanings with such enthusiasm.

Navigating high school while on the path to potential music superstardom must have been a tightrope walk. How did he stay grounded? And, outside of music and prepping for stardom, did he manage to just be a normal kid with hobbies? "I was falling behind on schoolwork," he admitted. "It got to the point where I had to go completely remote. My school looked out for me, though, and figured out a way for me to finish all my classes online. So, I basically finished the end of 10th through 12th grade completely online and on the road. We did Global Citizens in Paris, and I flew back home the next day and made it to my graduation." Talk about dedication!

Sinners also provided Caton a chance to learn from other talented performers. What did he observe working with his co-stars? "I think collectively from all of them, I learned how important it is to find your own process. Everybody’s process is so different." He elaborated, describing Jack O'Connell's energetic, physical preparation and Delroy Lindo's more reserved approach, listening to music and doing vocal exercises. "That encouraged me to ask myself, what could I do to get me into character," he said.

Of course, no conversation with Miles could be complete without acknowledging *that* scene. "Definitely, the [sex] scene with Sammie and Pearline," he said. I chuckled and told him I’m sure we barely even noticed, but it was clear this young man is on a journey of growth, both personally and professionally. Before we wrapped, he mentioned learning to play blues guitar with Randy Bowen, Sinners' touring guitarist. "I would travel out to Philly on Amtrak, go to his studio, and we would practice every week," he said. It's that kind of commitment and dedication to his craft that truly makes Miles Caton someone to watch.
