AMAZING homeless singer - streets of TORONTO

Subscribe for more content created in Toronto!
I shot this video a long time ago, heard Myles singing across the street downtown Toronto and happened to have my camera on me... his voice was so strong and amazing I had to stop and record, did not know when I upload this on youtube it would get so many views but I'm glad I can help share his story and talent with the world.

[@ImDubzzz]

It's sad to know that there is talent like this that goes unnoticed

[@goacey]

Orzahh I know it is to messed up ;(

[@MuffinCIub]

😥true😥

[@stijnsiebring6697]

So true

[@OffTheWall381]

S I N G L E B O Y S thats why this guy notice it and put the video up his time will come hopefully he remembers dude when hes touring and hooks him up with some tickets

[@lbmusic2901]

S I N G L E B O Y S That pisses me off >.> That's extremely messed up considering, hes extremely talented... I hope he gets on his feet, or uses his talent to help him.

[@chachcadi271]

When a homeless guy is better than today's top musicians.

[@melanierobson3336]

maybe because he's free of the pressures and manipulations of those trying to make a buck off him. Take him and use him. Freedom of a sort. Withdrawn from societal pressures. Idk, just a thought.

[@kingofgamer1102]

If you know when nobody when you need help and again stand up then broke a part of life

[@paramidge8935]

The creatures in what's left of the recording industry do not want truth. This young chap can really sing - no need to auto tune here - original material that discusses his reality as well - heartfelt and interesting - but perhaps he isn't selling an impossible consumer 'perfection' to the media slaves now is he?

[@taytyty7444]

@@paramidge8935 well.. right now he shows that he could be a good cover artist. He maybe needs a band n originals to be given a recording contract n then tour n perform. bums make great music. see grunge era - AiC and nirvana

What a badass dude! He needs to be in a band ...

[@faithmorley1569]

My name is Kingston Rukis I have known this dude for like 14 years or so,...He is originally from Saskatoon Saskatchewan His name is Myles Hanson ...He is homeless but is the nicest dude in the world!! I hope he's doing okay!! (BTW It says Faith cause thats my wife

[@texasfossilguy]

Faith Morley do you live in toronto and actually come across this guy?

[@lindacreber4373]

Faith morley . I could listen to him over and over sending love and my blessing . Or thats a really nice thing to say about your friend love and hugs from uk xxx

[@kingreese6763]

Linda Creber thanks ,...yea this is sad I haven't seen him for years I truly miss him and wish I could run into him

[@kingreese6763]

[@jaredjulian2000]

@contact how did he steal it? We're the songs recorded by another artist? If so, which ones?

[@ashwean]

This guys name is Miles I can't remember his last name I haven't seen him in years but he's from Saskatoon Saskatchewan and he can sing most anything he wishes to and I can verify he is a struggling artist and one hell of a nice guy

[@jennasittler3142]

He played outside my office downtown saskatoon for YEARS not sure if he still is but he is so talented

[@metalmartine1221]

[@jennasittler3142]

@@metalmartine1221 I haven’t worked downtown saskatoon for 7 years so I can’t say 🙁 everyone knew him he always sounded great

[@loonaya]

I hope he'll keep on going like Joni did, that girl from Saskatoon :)

[@andresfelipecoellorodrigue393]

@David Wang talent is useless if you don't know how to trasmit it to others, and this guy really does it. That's what music is about, since not all of us are pro musicians like You, capables of identitying mistakes on his technique.

[@Adamek1926]

This guy needs to be given a career, With that voice and guitar skills, he needs to be brought out of the streets into the frickin' studio.

[@stevewilson3793]

@UCrmA-JwKxKK9ETIShqB6_nQ yeah, and still better than most with a contract. I am a musician myself. Read the comments. Jealous haters such as yourself are the exception, dick head. Im going with my own ear and 99.9 percent of the audience, who by the way are the people who buy the records. Keep your day job Davey, you are no talent scout, lmao.

[@zachwood4289]

@David Wang This comment is 7 years old...... who shat in your weaties?

Sounds good to me you are probably a asshole

[@chandralingam3905]

That's how they find dumbasses such as Justin Bieber.

I know the street has some golden voices

[@jbdriver9602]

That was awesome, poor guy. I was homeless for 5 years i know what that's like it sucks. I hope his talent gets him somewhere. He's a great singer. Best of luck to you bud!

How did you find a home?

[@torah707]

This dude should be famous! I love his voice, and his incredible guitar playing!

love this guy, he travels everywhere thats why his name is miles. He visited my hometown every summer. Great guy that has a huge heart

[@giovannijimenez9232]

he is amazing. That song man......It hit me. Great song.

[@santoshbaskey]

Man without effect without any backup you played so perfectly it's really amazing. you are just awesome. I love your vocal. keep it up.

[@VickyVicky8204]

He needs to be noticed and signed with a record label so he can bless the world with his talent.

[@MeetTheSLAYER]

If someone that sees this video and reads these comments that knows or is a record producer it would be a great idea to get your rear up to Toronto and find this guy, get him a passport and into the states and sign him. That was a bad ass acoustic cover of a really good song that is not easy to play and sing at the same time, the guy has talent and loads of it.

[@MeetTheSLAYER]

Nice

[@bradbleiphone]

THANK YOU, THIS IS AMAZING

[@305Squirt]

because you know him personally...That bum is more talented then you I would bet my fortune on it.

Why get him to the states .

[@jameskennaway189]

2 years ago i needed a singer now i just want to know hes alive

[@SnowEclipsse]

This guys is amazing!! He should get a record deal. He's better than more than half the famous singers at the moment. But no we have Justin, and Lady Gaga. Which are terrible.

[@ButtComet]

***** Auto tune makes everyone a good singer.

[@nicolaslaurence7779]

[@kaleighmoore2333]

Lotta butt hurt ^^

[@Rekmackan]

***** If you really think that. You have a very narrow scope of music. There are tens of thousands of people who are better singers and she doesn't even play instruments in her pop songs. The definition of a sell out gone to shit. Only impressionable teenagers with no actual life experience would believe her to be among the top in terms of talent.

[@Rekmackan]

Yes, you can make millions while being complete fucking shit, like 90% of rappers are today. Because teenagers are idiots and will listen to anything their friends think is "cool". It has very little to do with talent now adays, especially with all the fucking autotune. People who listen to autotune songs should seriously be ashamed of themselves. Boycot thast idiotic shit for the good of the music industry

[@petrajosh2]

Why are those guys homless and Nicki Minaje famous and rich?

Amazing voice. It's not common to meet such talented people and it's sad that he is homeless and some people who really suck at singing "rule" the world of music.

[@lostboy4939]

This is one of my life long Friends! We spent many years together on the Streets as youth. I remember when he got his first guitar, didn't even know a single note! 1.5 years he picked at it every day, and by this time he could play any song upon request! Miles my brother miss you hope you're going well! You can find him in saskatoon I'm sure now a days downtown..

[@orlandovr253]

Emma Constable It makes me mad that this happens

[@EmmaConstableEmma_101__]

What type of music do you listen to? I'm into punk and christian metal.

[@orlandovr253]

Emma Constable I listen from Christian Rock (The only band I listen to is Skillet, I'm atheist but I still like them), to Trash Metal (Metallica), to Deathcore (Suicide Silence) to Ukulele Screamo (twentyonepilots). So, yeah, I think my music taste can't be defined as one (-8

[@EmmaConstableEmma_101__]

John Smith I have such a close music taste as you! Especially Top, I'm obsessed with them. If you like christian rock, listen to the band Red, they're more mixed genre, so their songs aren't all christian. |-/

[@scottkyler2818]

ive watched this clip a dozen times in the last few days. i cant seem to stop. this kid is amazing!!! ive been around music all my life and hes got pure heart and talent. great add my friend!!!!

[@BruceSeesall]

He's really good. His voice pushes out and loud and well most people dont know that without a recording studio even Phill Collins sounds like shit this guy has a great voice.

[@rolandoramirogarzajr0916]

this dude is good, its crazy to see talent like this go unnoticed

[@CaptainWeirdBeard69]

That is my old neighbor from Saskatoon; he taught me how to play some chords. There was 3 of us in a basement with our own rooms, but you could always hear him practicing random tunes. Me I was plucking stale G chords with E Majors.

[@RodsCarAdventure]

you still have any contact with him in anyway?

[@chitamoo]

Hes still around town, if I wanted I could find him. Winters rough for him he usually stays indoors. I'll ask around.

Hey Miles,I know you had a KZbin channel cuz I've seen a comment of yours a few months ago,so I hope you might check in here sometime again and see this. I wanted to let you know that coming back to this video and listening to you singing while I was feeling down has really helped me many times during the past half a year.I live on the other side of the world, but your voice is truly unique and quite different from so many I've heared.To me, your cover is better then the original song.I hope life got a bit better for you, or if not, I hope it soon will
