Alex Miller

Artist Information

Young Country traditionalist Alex Miller’s world expanded following his American Idol experience in 2021. Shortly after exiting the show, Miller secured a manager, a booking agent, and a record label. Alex’s well-received debut album, MILLER TIME, was released in April of 2022 and generated three high-impact singles: “I’m Over You, So Get Over Me,” “Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya,” and “Through With You.” Alex’s second release for Billy Jam Records, COUNTRY (October 2023), featured his more recent hits, “When God Made The South,” “Girl, I Know A Guy,” and his most recent smash single, “Puttin’ Up Hay.” 

The 6’ 6” singer/songwriter from rural Lancaster, Kentucky is a natural fan favorite whose career has moved at warp speed. In addition to touring heavily throughout 2021, the talented newcomer was also chosen as the Texas Roadhouse Artist of the Month (October) and performed a duet with Grand Ole Opry star Rhonda Vincent at the Lee Greenwood All-Star Salute concert (November). By the beginning of 2022, Alex had entertained at multiple State Fairs (Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Washington, Wisconsin), and opened for Hank, Jr, Josh Turner, Lee Brice, and Shenandoah. His star continued to rise, and even more bookings rolled in with Miller opening for Brooks & Dunn, Jamey Johnson, King Calaway, and Aaron Watson in 2022. Additionally, he shared the stage with Diamond Rio and Sawyer Brown and debuted at the popular Wild Rose Casinos in Iowa.  
 
By the end of 2023, Alex had appeared on bills with: Chris Janson, Chapel Hart, Drake Milligan, Noah Thompson, Dillon Carmichael, HunterGirl, Emily Ann Roberts and Tracy Byrd. Miller performed at State Fairs in Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, and West Virginia, plus County Fairs in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Alex also partnered with CMR Nashville, Europe’s #1 Country Music Radio Station, to host a curated monthly radio show called MILLER TIME - a fun, inside look at Miller’s inventive mind. Closing out a spectacular year, he received the American FFA Degree for excellence, the organization’s highest accolade. 

His heavy touring schedule exposed Alex to alternate genres and new artists. “I’m always working to better myself and my music,” Alex says. “But I’m Country … ain’t nothin’ gonna change that.”  

Miller is serious about carving out time for his songwriting. “It really helps me stay centered on who I am as an artist while at the same time giving me a chance to experiment a bit,” Alex notes. In the last 12 months alone, Alex has collaborated with hitmakers Kent Blazy, Larry Cordle, Kirsti Manna, Byron Hill, Carl Jackson, Wood Newton, Emily Ann Roberts, Jerry Salley, Josh Shilling, and Bill Whyte. “Writing with folks of this calibre has been a huge step for me,” Alex adds. “The hits they’ve written are crazy. Working with them, learning from them … it’s broadened my horizon musically and made me more confident. And hey, when it works and you’ve got a good song at the end of the day, there’s no better feeling.”   

Alex’s songwriting is a highlight of his newest EP, MY DADDY’S DAD, released on April 12. The energetic entertainer co-wrote three of the project’s five songs. Produced by Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records, the collection runs the gamut from rowdy to romantic – and shows Miller is here for the long haul.

For a “kid from Kentucky” who began his career at the age of seven, Miller’s commitment to his craft is hardly in doubt. As a youngster, he quickly progressed from shows in and around his hometown of Lancaster to larger markets. Alex appeared at the Dolby Theatre, Lucas Oil Stadium, WoodSongs, Renfro Valley, Lincoln Jamboree and more. His expressive tenor voice brought him early success and his skills with guitar and lap steel are an integral part of his stage show. Alex also plays ukulele, bass, and banjo.
