Since a young age Miles has surrounded himself with theatre, working professionally as a child in the West End as well as appearances on TV and Film.
In 2010 he decided to produce his first full scale musical Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens with nearly 50 performances in 4 different venues. It was the first production of the show to be granted rights to be performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and lead to an ongoing relationship with the shows writers and creative team.
