theater productions. Following graduation, he
landed a gig performing in a musical
revue at Opryland theme park. Miller progressed
from job to job until he was hired
as a backup singer for Barbara Mandrell on her
tours and television show. In
between, he learned studio technique by singing
jingles and doing sound-alike vocals
for an advertising agency.
In the mid-1980s, Miller moved to Los Angeles
to tour with Donna Summer and
break into West Coast studio work. "L.A. was a
harder nut to crack. People have work
wrapped up and you have to really network." It
took some time to build up a reputa-
tion through word of mouth, but eventually he
had steady session work. "I sang
everything: sound tracks for film, television
commercials, cartoon scenes, records,
song demos, and live television performances."
When he moved back to Nashville in
the mid-1990s, he quickly established himself
as a session singer with artists like Faith
Hill, Tim McGraw, Phil Collins, Jewel, and
Martina McBride. In addition to song
demos and his session work in Nashville, Miller
also continues to do periodic work in
Los Angeles and New York. He added "actor" to
his credits, when he performed on
Broadway in the musical
The Civil War, and sang on the album sound
track.
