Winston-Salem’s Sonny Miles (@sonnyformiles) blends hip-hop and soul with aplomb, mixing classic Seventies vocal stylings with contemporary rhythms and textures. The result’s music with true crossover appeal. Sonny Miles is this week’s artist on PBS NC’s (@mypbsnc) SHAPED BY SOUND (Thursday, 9:30 PM), a coproduction with Come Hear NC. To get up to speed on Miles’s music before Thursday night’s show, we’ve prepared a playlist spanning from his early career to 2024’s GAMMA – get involved via the link in bio.
