Rising singer preparing debut album for release, currently on promotional radio tour

(Nashville, Tenn. – Jan. 24, 2011)  Evergreen Records recording artist DJ Miller is kicking off the new year with a new single, “Whatever It Takes,” from his forthcoming 2011 debut album release.

Written by songwriters Don Goodman, Brad Wolf and Trini Triggs, “Whatever It Takes” is a commanding, traditional-style Country ballad that aptly showcases the 21-year-old singer’s rich vocal.  It follows Miller’s 2010 debut single, “A Little Naughty Is Nice,” and a special holiday release, “A Snowman In Birmingham.”

Produced by Goodman and veteran Music Row executive Johnny Morris, “Whatever It Takes” struck DJ with its earnest lyrics and straightforward concept.

“It’s a song about the sacrifices the man is willing to make for his wife so that he can provide for his family and make their marriage work,” says Miller.  “I think it’s a pretty simple message, but it’s something that most people can probably identify with.  It’s gotten really great response from the folks I’ve been playing it for so far on our radio tour, so I’m excited to see what the fans think about it.”

Earlier this month, the Idaville, Ind., native visited several stations on the West coast in support of the new single.  He is slated to continue his promotional tour in multi-week legs for the next few months as he makes his way back across the U.S.

Miller is currently finishing his debut album, with plans to release it in the spring of 2011.  For more information, visit www.DJMillerCountry.com.

Miller’s “A Snowman in Birmingham” has resonated with radio programmers and fans across the country.  The Indiana native has been visiting radio stations in support of the song for the past several weeks and will continue to make stops through at least the end of the year.

“I think he’s got the whole package,” says WKTT Program Director EJ Foxx after a recent visit from DJ in Salisbury, Md.  “Thanks for taking the time to stop by and introduce us to Country music’s next Star!”

WTCM’s Carey Carlson says of Miller, “Just watch and listen.  See if you don’t see a young Brad Paisley with the song choices, delivery and pure Country heart and soul of DJ Miller.  His personality shines and sparkles – put your sunglasses on, his future is so bright!”

Adds WXCY Program Director Dave Hovel, “Awesome artist!  I was WAYYY impressed.”

“A Snowman in Birmingham” was written by chart-topping songwriter Don Goodman and Pirates of the Mississippi principals Bill McCorvey and Richard Alves.  Goodman and industry veteran Johnny Morris produced the track, which follows Miller’s debut single from July, “A Little Naughty is Nice.”  The 21-year-old singer visited more than 75 stations around the country earlier this summer.

Miller is known for his energetic and enthusiastic live performances, which often include trips into the audience to sing, dance and interact with the crowd.  He is currently splitting time between his touring schedule, radio visits and various writing and recording sessions in Nashville.  His debut album is scheduled for release in 2011.

Signs record deal with Nashville-based label, Evergreen Records

(Nashville, Tenn. – Aug. 2, 2010)  Newcomer Country music singer DJ Miller has signed with Nashville-based Evergreen Records and released his debut single to Country radio, titled “A Little Naughty Is Nice.”

Shipped to radio in July, “A Little Naughty Is Nice” is a guitar-driven, up-tempo track written by hit songwriters Don Goodman, Charlie Black and Robert Resnik.  Miller received the song only hours before leaving his hometown of Idaville, Indiana, for a Nashville recording session and ended up recording the song during that same visit.

“‘A Little Naughty Is Nice” is one of those songs that basically gives the woman a license to go out and get a little crazy sometimes,” Miller laughs.  “It was sent to me about three hours before I left for a recording session in Nashville.  We ended up recording it, and it turned out great.  It’s a fun song for all the girls out there, so I have a feeling the guys will probably appreciate it, too.”

Veteran Nashville producer, publisher and Evergreen Records executive Johnny Morris discovered Miller when he saw the 20-year-old singer perform at a downtown Nashville venue in 2009.  Impressed by Miller’s strong voice and stage show, Morris and Evergreen Records co-founder Don Bedell signed the young singer to their label the next day.

“DJ is one of the most talented young artists I’ve seen in years,” said Morris.  “His ability to connect with an audience is impressive, especially for someone that young, and his vocals really shine on these new songs we’re recording.  DJ has a bright future in this business.”

Miller is known for his energetic and enthusiastic live performances, which often include trips into the audience to sing, dance and interact with the crowd.  He is currently splitting time between his touring schedule and various writing and recording sessions in Nashville.  His debut album is scheduled for release this year.
