Biography

Miller was born in Surrey, British Columbia. He liked acting when he was younger, before he began to play the guitar. In 2019, Miller won the BC Country Music Association's Ray McAuley Horizon Award. Miller cites Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Kenny Rogers, George Strait, and Garth Brooks as influences on his music.

On Christmas Day 2019, Miller released his debut single "Pillow Talkin'". The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Canada Country chart, making Miller the first independently signed artist to top the chart with his debut single. It also became Miller's first Gold-certified single. In June 2020, Miller released his second single "I Would Be Over Me Too". Miller was then selected as a semi-finalist in the SiriusXM Top of the Country competition. In October, "I Would Be Over Me Too" would also reach No. 1 on the Canada Country chart, handing Miller his second consecutive chart-topper, and first as a songwriter. In November 2020, Miller released his debut extended play Sometimes I Don't, But Sometimes I Do, which featured his first two singles as well as his the singles, "Fighting" and "Sometimes I Do". In November 2021, Miller was named the winner of the SiriusXM "Top of the Country" competition.

Miller released the single "Wild as Her" in February 2022. He followed that up with the release of "Never Met a Beer" in August 2022, a collaboration with fellow Canadian country artist Matt Lang. In February 2023, he released the single "Back to Drinkin' Whiskey". In April 2023, Miller released the track "I Know Jack", which was later included on his acoustic extended play The Band's Packed Up that was released on May 19, 2023. The tracks from the extended play were included on Miller's album Spillin' My Truth, released on August 25, 2023. The album also includes the single "Shoulda Known Better".

In January 2024, Miller signed a management deal with RLive, a division of Republic Live, as their flagship signing. In February 2024, he signed a distribution deal with The Orchard, and released the single "Broken Man" in March 2024. In the spring of 2024, Miller embarked on "The Country Mixtape Tour" across Canada as a co-headliner alongside Shawn Austin and Andrew Hyatt. In August 2024, he released the single "What Good Is a Memory". The song was included on his October 2024 extended play Going Home. Miller was nominated for three awards — Album of the Year, Fans' Choice, and Male Artist of the Year — at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Association Awards.
