DJ Miller

I've hit the jack pot on this find.
DJ Miller is from Idaville Indiana, he's 21 years old and he's working his way up the country star ladder one rung at a time.
His father, Darryll Miller, was in a country band when DJ was a little boy.
Often times he would accompany his father on stage.
His microphone was a toilet plunger with a microphone duct taped to the handle.
Talk about a glamorous start!

The first time I saw DJ Miller was at a Mark Wills concert in the summer of 2011.
He opened the show and had such an amazing presence.
He knows how to own a stage, that's for sure.
Miller believes that the ability to entertain a crowd is the single most important thing when it comes to a live show.
I absolutely agree with his philosophy.
He loves getting involved with the crowd, running around the stage, and singing love ballads to his female fans.

“You can’t be the only one having fun,” Miller explains. “You have to interact with the crowd. You want them to be wondering what’s gonna happen next. If you just stand there and sing your songs and play your music, you might sound really good, but if you don’t give your fans a real show, then they may not have a reason to come back and see you again.” -DJ Miller

Miller grew up watching Garth Brooks concerts on his TV set and has been strongly influenced by his high-energy-guitar-smashing shows.
He also grew to appreciate Brad Paisley's guitar shredding solos, which has had an effect on DJ Miller's live show.

“I would tape the Garth Brook's live concerts on television as a little kid and then watch them over and over,” he remembers. “I saw him do all these crazy things on stage, but the crowd loved every minute of it, and I recognized that. It was at that point that I decided I wanted to go into Country music.” -DJ Miller

DJ got started at a young age. He would play where ever he could; state fairs, talent shows, you name it.
Things really started taking off for him when he met producer Jonny Morris in 2009.

Every fan has a place in DJ's heart and he wants everyone to have an exceptional experience at one of his concerts.

“It’s always important to make that person in the front row feel special,” he says, “but to me, the real key is making that person in the back row feel just as special.” -DJ Miller

Don't take my word for it though, hear it from DJ himself.
He will steal your heart like he did mine with this video.
Everything he says about country music is how I feel about it, it's real.

Listen to "Between Sundays".

Here is another fun video to help you get to know him better.

I hope y'all enjoy him and his music as much as I do!
