 Debra White Smith - Christian author, speaker, and media personality www.debrawhitesmith.com  "Miles is a faithful Stamps-Baxter Alumni with a big smile, big vocal range, and a big love for Southern Gospel music! Miles has a true heart for Ministry. He gives selflessly of his talent to prison ministry." Ben Speer - Gospel Music Legend As a producer in Christian music and host of a worldwide Christian radio show, it is hard sometimes to get excited about new artists and their music. Most of the time it sounds all the same, nothing new. Then along comes someone like Miles Pike. His sound and style just knocks you out. His music is fresh,and definitely has his own style. You meet people in the Christian music industry who proclaim to be doing this for the Lord, soon you find out it tends to be more about them than God, not so, with Miles Pike and his family. This young man truly is doing it for the right reasons. He is chose to serve Jesus and in my opinion, Christ couldn't find a better or more loyal servant than Miles Pike. He is what Christian Music Ministry is all about!! I am proud to have Miles in this industry and as my friend. Tommy Smith President/CEO - Canyon Creek Records www.christianservantradio.com  Miles Pike is a great singer and communicator. His abilities exceed every audience's expectations. More importantly, Miles is called as a witness for Jesus Christ, with or without music. I call him my friend and recommend him without reservation. Allison Durham Speer - Gaither Homecoming Artist These days it seems the pool of talented Gospel artists just gets deeper and deeper. So many young, talented singers are beginning to make their marks in Gospel music and Miles Pike is one of them. What sets Miles apart from the rest is his gift for communicating. His personality comes through in everything he sings. And you can tell when you hear him that everything he is singing has a personal meaning to him. Combine a charming, witty, sometimes even goofy personality with an impressive vocal range (yes, he CAN sing quartets with himself) and you have the makings of an entertaining and uplifting concert. Tommy Cooper - Award winning producer and owner of AFAB Studio Music Review - from The Christian Online Magazine for "The First One's Covered By The Blood" This CD has the Wow factor. Wow! This guy can sing! With a voice range that reaches five octaves one could easily say, "Miles Pike has talent!" What I want to quickly point out however, is that he possesses something even far more precious than his talent. And that is, The Anointing! As you play his CD you will quickly notice that what you are listening to is not of this world, but of the world beyond. The harmony and the music on this CD are phenomenal. It’s as if Angels were beamed down from Heaven to sing back-up vocals on this project and brought their own angel band with them. Right down to the musicians, the entire project sounds out of this world. With such spiritually upbeat songs like Everyone, Everywhere, Everytime, and Jesus Will Pick You Up, your heart will be singing and your feet will be dancing in no time! My Favorites: All of them! And I mean that! However, if I had to pick some favorites it would have to be the two I mentioned above, Everyone, Everywhere, Everytime and Jesus Will Pick You Up. I rewind these over and over!

Pastor Michael Bobbitt Holy Ground Church in Rusk, Texas April 8, 2010 Local Man Hits Tops On Gospel Chart Nathan Straus Jacksonville Daily Progress JACKSONVILLE — Miles Pike, 24, of Pierce’s Chapel, received word last month his southern gospel rendition of the song “Jesus Savior, Pilot Me” ranked top in the Country Gospel Chart for the month. Pike said the news made him feel blessed. “It is my first number one song and the first song I’ve sent out to radio stations,” Pike said. “The song is the prayer of my heart.” Pike said the tune was originally created in the 1880s as a hymn for whalers and mariners of that age. “The song was made because it was such a dangerous job,” Pike said. “It became popular in the churches because we’re always talking about how we’re on the sea of life and we need Jesus to pilot our ship. When we reach the harbor, we’ll be safe.” For Pike, putting a new twist on older, classic hymns is something of a pastime. “Any time you do hymns that have already been done dozens or hundreds of times you have to put a whole new twist on them,” Pike said. “Jesus Savior, Pilot Me” was submitted to hundreds of radio stations in October 2009. Pike said it was December when the song hit 39 on the charts and he realized people listened to his music. “I didn’t expect to do much — I was shocked that it hit 39,” Pike said. “Nobody had a clue who I was.” But the song didn’t stall in the 30s. It rose even further to 17 in January and five in February before it topped out in the first slot in March. “We go through a lot of hard times and trials, but when we dock in the harbor it’s not going to matter much anymore,” Pike said. An East Texas native and the son of James and Kim Pike, Miles Pike first started singing at 9 years old. “As a kid I’d always sing around the house, but I was too shy to sing in front of anybody,” Pike said. He said one day his mother got him to sing in front of a church, and he’s been singing in public ever since. He also said he started full time ministry and traveling in October 2006. Pike currently attends People’s Church in Jacksonville and has been invited to sing at the Country Gospel Music Fan Fest in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., from April 29 to May 1. From: The People's Church Miles Pike is a member of People’s Church of which I am pastor. It is a pleasure to have Miles in our church. He is a dedicated Christian who takes his walk with the Lord very seriously. He will accept any task asked of him, and he has the ability to complete the job in any organized, professional manner. He is loved and respected by the people who worship with him.. Miles is very talented in the area of music. He seems to understand that his talent is a gift from God, and he delights in using this talent in God’s work. Miles constantly works to improve his musical ability by practice, attending schools of music and performing special music in worship services. He has a full schedule of concerts and special music. He and his family go into the Texas Prison System to minister through song and testimony to the inmates. Our church is blessed by Miles Pike. Sincerely, Pastor A.L. (Andy) Fannette Miles, Your Timeless Songs CD is fabulous! I get goose bumps! You wake me up on the way to work, and calm me down on my way home after a hard day at work.
