After meeting producer Sloani, Miloh released his first radio single Run from his debut album titled Alpha in April 2019, accompanied by stunning visuals filmed in the forests surrounding Pretoria East. The video was filmed, directed and edited by Dewald Pretorius, Liezel Marshall and Dee Gierke who, since Lewende Woord, created their own digital media company called Tazama. Run did exceedingly well and circulated on some of the biggest mainstream radio stations in the country including Groot FM, Hot 91.9FM, Mix FM, Smile FM and Bay FM to name a few. The 2nd single, Sober, was released in August 2019. Miloh is a story teller and all his songs are written directly from his own personal experiences. About his musical influences he says, “I draw inspiration from the likes of The Weekend, Stevie Nicks, A-Ha, Tove Lo, 80’s synth-pop music as well as relevant contemporary pop music which has allowed me to grow into my current preferred genres being pop, dance, and electronic.” “Lady Gaga is the artist I probably draw most of my inspiration from. I remember seeing The Born This Way Ball live in 2012 and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. ”Miloh Ramai is also a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in South Africa and was invited to perform at Cape Town Pride
