Robert Miles was born to Italian immigrants Antonietta and Albino Concina in Fleurier, Switzerland.

Miles became proficient at playing the piano during his youth in Friuli (Italy), in the small town of Fagagna, where his family moved when he was still a young boy, and has been in the music scene since 1988. He worked as DJ in some underground Italian clubs and private radio networks and in 1990, he used his savings to establish his own studio and bought some second-hand equipment.

In 1994, Miles wrote his most famous dream trance work, Children. The single picked up steam slowly, and within two weeks of its official release in 1995, had sold more than 50,000 copies all over Europe and topped the charts in many countries. By 1997 Children had sold more than 5,000,000 copies Worldwide. It earned Miles platinum records in many countries. Also, Robert Miles is the only Italian artist to have won a Brit Award (Best International Male Newcomer 1997).

Miles’s next single was Fable, with vocals by Fiorella Quinn. Part of this song was used in the theatrical trailer for the US movie, Ever After starring Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott. His debut album Dreamland was released on June 7, 1996 in Europe, and released a few days later in the United States, with a new track, “One and One”, sung by Maria Nayler and written by songwriters Billy Steinberg, Rick Nowels and Marie-Claire D’Ubaldo. This new track became very popular and was later released as a single in the U.S. and Germany.

    The nostalgia from Dreamland..... Mmm.. Listen to Dreamland high, any type of high. I prefer a fat blunt ... So good.

    Never listened to Dreamland, but 23 AM and Organik are fantastic. Just picked up Thirteen today and once again it's a departure from his other music. Enjoying it a lot after the first 2 listens so far.

    Met "Bob" at the Spa on the same day as I proposed to my wife. He was playing piano in the lounge, not a bad way to have your wife to be serenaded. It was beautiful playing, so when I passed him the corridor I had to ask him his name (his face was hardly famous even at his peak), so when we got back I picked up "Dreamland", not really reminiscent of his piano playing, but it is equally as obvious here is one talented guy.

    I love being one of the extremely rare few that discovered Robert Miles at a really young age (I was 6 years old) and know that there are other songs besides 'Children'. Have had 2 Dreamland Cassettes in the past (because I listened to the first one so much, it was truly used and abused and hence I had to buy another one) and now the original CD. His influence on my music production is both, a bonus as well as an honor!
