Career[edit]

2002-2018: Early years and EPs[edit]

Miller first picked up a guitar in 2002 and soon after started writing and recording music. His passion saw him graduate music from Queensland University of Technology in 2010.[1]

In 2013, he released the singles "Don't Go Walking Away" and "Oh Lord".[2][3][4] At the National Indigenous Music Awards 2013, he was the Triple J Unearthed National Indigenous Winner and Miller earned a place on tour with The Paper Kites while "Don't Go Walking Away" gained national airplay.[5]

Miller spent most of 2014 and 2015 working away on his debut EP The Faster The Blood Slows.[5]

In October 2014, Miller released "Sunday", the lead single from the EP. The EP was released in October 2015 in conjunction with second single "The Pain".[5]

In 2016, Miller released "Road" and "Fire" from his second EP Closer to Home.

At the APRA Music Awards of 2017, Miller won Blues & Roots Work of the Year for "The Pain".[6][7]

2019-present: Little Love[edit]

In 2019, Miller began releasing singles from his debut studio album with "The Come Down" and "Show Your Skin" with "Bitterness" released in April 2020.[8]

In February 2021, Miller released his debut studio album Little Love. Miller worked with producer Alex Henriksson and sound engineer Matt Neighbour.[7]

On making the album, Miller said "There is truth in every lyric, meaning behind every melody, feeling in every hum. Little Love is an album that wraps itself around my life for the last 3 years. There is an honesty in the album that I never truly sang or wrote about until this album. Giving myself up in a way that has always terrified me. There were truths I had to confront and lessons that needed to be learnt. I had to own who I was but most importantly own who I wasn't and truthfully, at times that hurt."[9]
