Runaway Jones, Miles Jones was on stage at The Sound Academy in Toronto, opening for Reflection Eternal. Wearing a Mariners jersey and a black flex fit, Jones traversed the stage, moving, bending and hyping from all four corners, engaging the cheering crowd. Jones' infectious emcee charisma has probably been shaped by a thing or two he picked up from his Dad, "Deadly" Hedley Jones Jr., an influential DJ in the early Toronto club scene. But more than anything, it is Miles Jones's own perseverance, hard work, and dedication to his craft that makes Miles Jones a rising Toronto artist to watch.
Just a day before his Toronto performance at the
Wrap Up celebration party for Student Hunger Week, we sat down with Miles to discuss his upcoming US album debut, the technology and gear behind
Runaway Jones, and details on how his collaboration went down with Black Milk, one of the most talked about producers in 2010.
