Miles-Kingston won a choral scholarship into Winchester Cathedral Choir.
While a chorister he sang many solos in services, broadcasts, and
oratorios; he toured Western Canada with the choir in 1982, and sang
with them at the BBC Proms. He won several prizes as a chorister for his
outstanding solo singing and also for his musical contribution at the
Pilgrims School, the Winchester Cathedral Choir School. Paul achieved great success as treble soloist in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem, appearing with Sarah Brightman, Placido Domingo and the Winchester Cathedral Choir at the world premier in New York and at the British premier in Westminster Abbey. He was awarded a silver disc for the single Pie Jesu, which reached number 3 in the charts, and also received gold and platinum discs for the album, which by 1985 had sold over 400,000 copies. In that year, Paul sang twice at the Barbican Centre in London and also took part in a Royal Gala attended by the Queen in Edinburgh. Paul Miles-Kingston was Head Chorister of Winchester Cathedral from January to July 1985. At that time Martin Neary was Organist and Master of the Choristers.
