Biography
Taking his inspiration from both personal and societal currents, Jacob Miller's resonant sound and dead-on lyrics pursue an unflinching quest to bare it all - the best and worst in us. The artist's debut album, entitled Who We Are (Dogleg Music), reflects that quest.
Hailing from Miami, Florida, music was integrated into Miller's life from an early age: “There was a piano in my home when I was growing up. Actually, my dad had an entire music room where he also kept a guitar, harmonica, saxophone, clarinet, banjo and tambourine. I don't really remember when I started to play the piano. From the time I was about 3 or 4, I had a few lessons here and there, but I was always just more of an emotional player than a technical one.” This formative musical grounding propelled him into the teeming diversity of the Miami milieu during his high school years at the New World School of the Arts. Since that time, Jacob has met and made music with a dramatic range of talented musicians. Currently, he has made it to the halfway point at Berklee College of Music in Boston and continues to experience life on the road from South Florida to New York including concert performances in Denmark, Paris and Spain.
In the end, it's obvious that the strength of Miller's music resides in the highly personal nature of it, a baring of his soul to us in the hopes that we reflect on our own lives and journeys: “Personal relationships are a lot more significant to me than how they may reveal themselves on the album. Every lyric holds a personal relationship in there, and cherishes some sort of love for someone in every line.”
Jacob Miller's debut release, entitled Who We Are (Dogleg Music), is available for purchase online and in select stores now.
