The News:
Snapchat recently announced the launch of their new feature called Discover, which allows users to access daily stories compiled by media companies such as ESPN, CNN, VICE, National Geographic, Yahoo News, People, Daily Mail, Comedy Central, Cosmopolitan, Food Network, and Warner Music Group. As part of this new venture, 15 year-old rapper and songwriter Chris Miles will serve as the host of Warner Music Group’s channel, where he will introduce exclusive content such as music videos, photos, interviews, and more. WMG will be the only music channel available on the platform for the next six months.
Chris Miles, one of the youngest artists to sign a major publishing deal with Warner/Chappell, is a songwriter and rapper. Known for displaying a level of lyricism beyond his years, Chris’ talents has been praised by the likes of 50Cent, Mac Miller, Chris Brown, Hit Boy, Tony Yayo, and more. Although his songs are deeply personal, Chris Miles is able to make them relatable to everyone from his high school classmates or 30+ year olds who came of age during rap’s Golden Era. He recently released his EP The Birth of Cool.
Says Chris, “I’m looking forward to making the channel fun and down-to-earth so people want to come back every day to check out what’s new on it. I’ll be premiering new music videos and other cool stuff from all the artists under the WMG family. On top of all that, I’m going to premiere my new music too, which I’m really excited for.”

Chris Miles Background:
Chris Miles is a 15 year-old rap artist and songwriter from Long Island, New York. At the young age of 10 years old, Miles began to write and record raps in his bedroom that were inspired by his struggles with being bullied in school. After a few years of honing his skills and using rap as a coping method, he decided to start posting videos of himself rapping on YouTube, which is where he was discovered by T3 Music Group. After a few short weeks of working with T3, one of Miles’ videos managed to get posted by World Star Hip Hop where it garnered over 1.3 million views in just three days. This instantly caught the eye of many figures in the industry and Miles was immediately looked at as one of the next big things in music. Over the past two years, T3 and Miles have worked to build a fan base by releasing countless viral and original music videos along with two full length, all original mixtapes. Today, Miles is currently performing shows throughout the tri-state area after the release of his first EP, Birth of Cool.
