Jeff Miller knew early on that music was in his blood. He started playing violin at five years old, and by eight was showing a serious aptitude for music. It wasn’t until age thirteen, though, that he found his true calling – guitar. He sold all of his video games, went down to the local music store and bought a used amp and Kramer electric guitar. Soon after he added his first acoustic guitar – an Alvarez – to his collection. There was no looking back.
Jeff’s aptitude grew throughout high school, where he produced and recorded his first album with a group of friends. Later, Jeff would attend his first Phil Keaggy show. Legendary among guitarists, Keaggy’s unique approach to the acoustic guitar had a strong influence on Jeff. This influence resulted in his long-standing affection for combining live performance with cutting edge technology. The result was Jeff’s innovative live looping technique. What is live looping? Basically, it’s a process by which a musician can record a phrase live, in front of an audience, and immediately play it back in repetition. While this phrase continues to repeat, the musician can record another “loop” to play along with the original. This process can be repeated multiple times, creating dense, layered compositions mimicking the sound multiple musicians and backing vocalists. Over the years, Jeff has adopted this technique into his core style, adding the elements of songwriting and expression alongside the technical prowess required.
In the years since finding guitar, Jeff has accomplished much. He is now a gifted musician, a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, a husband, and a father. His live-looping technique has become ubiquitous for-up and-coming guitarists and his skills as a teacher and mentor are now in demand. In this vein, Jeff’s “Loop of the Week” video series was the first and most popular video series of its type on Youtube. His music has been featured on nationally syndicated television, and has been used by CBS Sports and Napster. Jeff has even appeared on nationally-broadcast TV, in America's Got Talent and as an extra on the hit ABC/CMT show Nashville. For Jeff, though, it's always been about the music. He looks forward to the upcoming release of his sixth solo album, continuing to craft his songwriting and producing skills, and connecting with people that love music.
