Miles Curtis Sesselmann (born 16 January 1995) known by his stage name Mileo is an Multicultural Australian singer, songwriter and recording artist of Asian, European and Mediterranean descent.[1]
Personal life
Mileo was born in Sydney, Australia. His parents and family are from a multitude of cultures spanning across Europe and Asia. [2] He has stated that when he was younger he was different from most kids his age, having always been very ambitious. [3] Mileo began singing at a young age, and taught himself piano. He began songwriting and later producing around the age of 14 years.[2] Mileo finished high school, later studying at college and graduating before the age of 18. [3]
Career
In early 2013, Mileo signed with Sony Music Entertainment after flying overseas to meet with his manager.[4] Mileo released his debut single "Echo" on 11 February 2014, which was co-produced by a Norwegian producer Thomas Eriksen.[5] NRJ officially premiered the single "Echo" to radio late February.
Artistry
Mileo has been compared to artists including Avicii, Sting and Shakira for his ethnic-sounding pop music. His music also contains influences of Dance music and Bhangra music. Known for his sensual singing style and use of Indian/Arabic Melisma, Mileo's debut "Echo" has prominent atmospheric vibes, critics praise his lyric and vocal content as "relatable" and "emotive" while retaining a sensual almost sexual nature without use of explicit content.
