About Me

Originally from Minas Gerais, in the heart of Brazil, Miller Cruz grew up playing percussion on the street corners of his hometown. Inspired by such diverse influences as Pink Floyd, Jorge Ben Jor, Taj Mahal, and Bob Marley, he brings a uniquely Brazilian approach to house music. A true son of the Tropicalista movement that swept Brazil in the 60s and 70s, Miller reaches across cultures, eras and genres to create a sound that is both forward thinking in reach, but loyal to its historical roots. He says, "Our goal has always been to create a fusion of new Brazilian sounds with house, drum n bass, deep house, Latin, classics and more We go everywhere with the styles, that's what makes us different and unique besides that great energy that comes from our crowd which is just amazing. Sometimes, I wish I was just partying myself instead of playing."Anderson Trindade & Miller Cruz Presents: AGUA , The Brazilian Pool Party is Back!
