With smooth, soul-stirring vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and undeniable star power, Mylo is quickly establishing himself as a force in the industry. Let Em Know blends rich melodies with raw emotion, delivering a fresh yet timeless sound that resonates with listeners across generations.

For Mylo, Let Em Know isn’t just a song—it’s a deeply personal story. “This song is based on a true story, and that’s what inspired it,” he shares. Working with Sean Garrett, a legend in the industry, was both an honor and a learning experience. “Big bro is amazing. He gives me so much knowledge and wisdom and makes sure I do what I gotta do.”

Breaking into the Billboard Top 20 as a new male artist is no small feat, and Mylo is humbled by the milestone. “All praise be to Allah,” he says. “I’m so honored and blessed, but this is only the beginning—there’s more to accomplish.”

Describing his sound as a fusion of Bobby Womack, K-Ci, Bobby Brown, and Chris Brown, Mylo brings a mix of old-school soul with a modern twist. “You gotta make the ugly face when you sing my songs—that’s when you know you’re feeling it,” he laughs. “I want people to relate to my music, whether it’s about love, family, or friendships. We all go through the same things, no matter where we are in life.”

While Mylo’s rise may seem like an overnight success, his journey has been anything but easy. “It’s been a test, with ups and downs, but I’ve learned a lot. And this is just the beginning of what Allah has prepared for me.”

For any artist, hearing their song on the radio for the first time is a surreal moment, and for Mylo, it’s been a game-changer. “It’s impacted me big time. Knowing my music is touching people worldwide and that they understand where I’m coming from—it makes me feel appreciated.”

With momentum building, fans can expect big things from Mylo in the near future. “I’ve got a project dropping soon, merch on the way, and a radio tour coming up,” he reveals. “I’m also working on some major features, but I won’t say names just yet. I’m collaborating with the biggest writers and producers around the world.”

At a time when R&B is evolving, Mylo is on a mission to bring the genre back to its roots while pushing it forward. “I’m bringing back real R&B—the kind that makes you feel something, whether it’s love, fun, or pain. Everything I talk about will either relate to someone or help someone.”

With Let Em Know climbing the charts and a bright future ahead, Mylo Waiters is proving that authenticity, passion, and talent are the true ingredients of lasting success in music.
