Born and raised in New York, Sheri Miller found her calling at an early age thanks in part to her mother, a trained opera singer and classical pianist, and her uncle, a recording engineer. By the time she turned eight, Miller was already composing her own songs and poetry, exploring the mysteries of the universe with the kind of pureness of heart and joie de vivre that would guide her the rest of her career.
Growing up, Miller was a voracious listener, playing classical piano and devouring everything from Mozart and Tchaikovsky to Ray Charles and Etta James to Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. She studied lyrics and poetry, obsessed over melodies, and scoured liner notes for clues about players and production. In 2008, she released her acclaimed debut, ‘Mantra,’ and in 2011, she returned with a similarly well-received follow-up, ‘Winning Hand,’ produced by GRAMMY-winner Kevin Killen (U2, Peter Gabriel). Miller’s next single featured appearances from legendary guitarist Steve Cropper, iconic keyboardist Paul Shaffer, and bass legend Will Lee. Critics were quick to take notice, with a Boston Globe writer hailing Miller as “a gifted musician” and an “artful songwriter,” and Rolling Stone’s Anthony DeCurtis raving that “she makes a powerful first impression, and then, even better, a series of more complex and lasting ones.” The music earned airplay on tastemaker stations like KCRW and WXPN, landed Miller in writing sessions with everyone from Jill Sobule to Shawn Mullins, and helped her garner dates opening for the likes of J.D. Souther and Robert Gordon.
Sheri released 3 original holiday singles in 2013-2014, “Diamond Christmas,” “Merry Christmas, Jesus, It’s Been One Helluva Year,” and “February 14 (I Don’t Want A Valentine).”
Sheri’s critically acclaimed EP "Waking Up To This Miracle Life,” was released in 2021 to excellent reviews, calling it a “masterpiece,” and “timeless.”[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Press praised Sheri calling her “an astonishing vocalist” and her music a “glorious whirlwind of authenticity…thrilling.” This EP features a music team of Grammy-Winner producer Jeff Bova, guitarist Tim Pierce (Adele, Bruce, Springsteen), drummer Aaron Sterling (John Mayer, Taylor Swift), bassist Will Lee (Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys), and cellist Dave Eggar (Coldplay). It was mixed by Frank Filipetti and Joe Zook (OneRepublic, Katy Perry), radio edits by Chris Lord-Alge, and mastered by Randy Merrill (Adele 25) at Sterling Sound.[10] Sheri performed “Joyful Love” on TV show “Today In Nashville,” [11] an NBC-affiliate station and one of the most highly-rated and most-watched morning shows in the US.
