Miles would later contribute to David and brother Michael Boothman's ensemble jazz Kysofusion as the lead singer for a brief tour that took them to the United States in 1988. Also shaping the creativity of Miles was the producer and musician Pelham Goddard who accompanied Miles in some of his early appearances as well as his uncle, the Jamaican writer and playwright Trevor Rhone whose film The Harder They Come and his next artistic undertaking is undoubtedly a major influence, as he witnessed the success of the writers on the world stage.

After finishing high school, Miles worked as a much-sought-after vocalist in Trinidad.

It was for two years in charge as the lead singer with the Fireflight that he met his girlfriend Luanne Salandy. The two left Trinidad in 1989 for the US, with Luanne moving to New York and Miles to Los Angeles. Luanne joined Miles in Los Angeles a year later, after she was accepted to the University of Southern California where she majored in creative writing. They married in 2000 and were the parents of the son of Djimon, born in 2003, and daughter of Zion, born in 2006.

So it comes from Africa, our African heritage. The really interesting character that we grew up in Trinidad heard about. They are creatures of the night. He also talked about his technique in the 2009 interview with The Art of The Interview: I tend to mix a lot of colors. At least that's the direction I'm headed now. And also mix different textures.

So everything is revealed on the canvas, the best way I can, you know.

Listed as one of 5 3D uses at CES by International Business Times, the project is a one-of-a-kind artistic collaboration using original works by renowned artist Miles Regis and visionary art technology, Brian Quandt. Utilizing cutting edge technologies including 2D-3D conversion, glasses-free viewing and more, the 3D Art Project offers an art experience never before seen to viewers. As viewers see the layers inside the paintings at various depths in 3D, it also witnesses the chronological and emotional development of artwork as they were made - the beginnings of the furthest painting of the viewer, and each additional layer on the plane closer to the viewer. The duo continued their 3D collaboration with Intel at the 2011 Coachella Music Festival. For the Coachella Valley Music Festival and Art and its 80,000 visitors, Miles created a new canvas made into 3D. The work was titled, "The Music Peace."
