All four of the coaches — Blake SheltonGwen Stefani, John Legend and Camila Cabello —  turned around for Myles when she auditioned for The Voice. The Pennsylvania native performed Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” with each of the coaches clamoring for her on their team.

“We don’t get a lot of people singing that song because it’s so intimidating,” Legend said after Myles’ stunning performance. “It takes some cojones to come here and sing it with such confidence that we got to see your range and hear those piercing, beautiful notes. It was exquisite. One of the best Blind Auditions I have seen in a long time.”

Myles, who had been trying to make her mark in the music industry for more than 16 years before auditioning for The Voice, credits her parents with giving her the courage and stamina to continue to work hard to make her dreams come true.

“There were days I was just about to lose it but I’ve been very blessed because my parents have been my rock in a really, really hard industry,” Myles said after her audition. “So many Voice artists have made it. I hope I can use this platform to be a successful artist as well. I think the whole experience is going to be fun.”

Myles, who chose to be on Cabello’s team, has been using songwriting as a way to express herself for years, including with “Sanctuary,” a song she wrote about the loss of her grandfather, followed by her cousin.

“The only thing that helped me walk my way through was songwriting,” Myles told Everything Nash. “When I wrote ‘Sanctuary,’ I had this whole chorus lyrically and melodically before I got into the room with my fellow co-writer, Steve Pasch. I may have been in a publishing house, but I was mentally in a church praying to God to help heal my cousin, my family. ‘Sanctuary’ is about the love we have to have for one another to get through the dark times. Love is the highest healing power we have.

“I truly believe this song is so relatable to so many for whatever our heavy hearts are going through,” she continued. “It’s a prayer. We are all going through something. Why don’t we comfort each other with love rather than hate? Writing songs about my cousin is what keeps his memory alive for me. I cry tears, not from the sadness I feel writing this, but because of how lucky I was to have such an incredible person in my life for as long as I did. His love will always be my ‘Sanctuary,’ and for that I am so blessed.”

Leatherwood recently hinted that he was working with some of his competitors on The Voice, although he declined to share any specifics.

“There are several contestants [I’ve written songs with],” Leatherwood told Music Mayhem. “I’m not going to mention their names right now, but I’ve written with them and we’re going to put out some music pretty soon and it’s going to be good. So there are a lot of other artists I’d like to write with as well that were on the show and whoever wants to write, if anyone needs help, if anyone wants to write with me, you just call me and let me know.”

Myles recently made her Grand Ole Opry debut on January 6. Keep track of Myles’ music and tour dates at MorganMylesLive.com.
