Career Myers went viral on TikTok posting his music and the song "The Tie That Binds". His mother, Karysa Myers, created his TikTok profile after he suffered a football injury in high school.

Artistry Myers fuses classic country storytelling with bluesy riffs and soulful vocals. He cites a diverse array of influences: country luminaries like George Strait; soul and R&B figures like Otis Redding; blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan; and contemporary inspiration from John Mayer.
Regarding his sound, Myers said while growing up, his father would primarily play traditional country music, which was his "first love", but his mother exposed him to soul artists including Redding, Sam Cooke, and Gladys Knight, which he credits with changing his perspective on music. He then began discovering blues music and cites seeing Vaughan performing "Lenny" for the first time as an "out of body experience" which ignited his love for playing guitar.
