About Smilley
Smilley is the DIY alt/indie project of songwriter and musician Miles Platt. His body of work consists of emotional, raw, and nostalgic alternative/indie rock, and he strives to provide people with a space to be themselves through his self-expression. Smilley’s origins can be traced back to Miles’ experiences in theatre from a young age. His background in theatre mixed with his ear for a great melody and attention to detail in his instrumentals gives Smilley a distinct sound- sometimes serious, sometimes silly, often loud and always honest, Smilley is the perfect storm concocted of catchiness and unwavering emotional honesty. Platt also prides himself in Smilley being a celebration of all things DIY. His debut album, Stay Well!, was written, recorded, mixed, and mastered in various bedrooms and houses. He strives to make Smilley an open invitation for all to feel comfortable and seen. Whether through music or at shows, Miles values inclusivity and acceptance above all else and feels as though he “did his job successfully” if even one person steps away from his music feeling like they were understood or represented on any level. At the end of the day, Smilley is a way for Platt to process his own emotions. While the music comes from his experiences, the earwormy hooks mixed with thought-provoking instrumentals and powerful lyrics of Smilley will make for a listening experience unlike any other.
