Originally from Copenhagen, Marie Miller has a voice that has lured songs from Guy Chambers,Shaznay Lewis and Lucie Silvas and production from Andy Duncan (Robbie/Kylie/Bowie), Adrian Hall (Britney) and Emre Ramazanoglu (Shakira and Mercury nominated Lou Rhodes).
Marie's musical career started early, leading her to her first band Plush and a signing to EMI. But with ambition way beyond the Danish charts Marie soon realised the UK was the creative place to be so uprooted her recording career across the North Sea to London, setting up her own label, Small Dog via Universal. In 2005 she sang on the Stonebridge mixes of Can't Slow Down and Playground, which both reached the heady heights of no 2 in the MW club charts last year, a platform from which she has been able to develop her album. Her determination to form a band around the songs on the album has enabled her to form a formidable live outfit, a band that will hit the road this year.
For the eagerly awaited album (Fast Lane) you'll have to wait till later this year, but as a taster the Shaznay Lewis/Guy Chambers penned 'Love In The Fast Lane' has already been released in the UK on Small Dog Records, via Universal, with a fantastic video, inspired by Maries love of film and based on a Scene from Alfred Hitchcocks Vertigo.
This past year Marie has had her focus on her home country, Denmark. She has been doing gigs around Copenhagen and hopes to get the attention she needs, to release her album.
So far Marie has taken the venues of Copenhagen by storm, playing with some of the best musicians in Denmark: Tore Hauge (bass), Mikkel Sørensen (piano), Klaus Møller (guitar), Thomas Dinesen (drums). Also Jacob Hatholt (drums), Andreas Hatholt (bass), Nichlas Hatholt (piano) and Flemming Danielsen (guitar) have backed Marie on stage.
2008 will see Marie playing live across Europe backed by her 4 piece band, the release of her debut solo album and further single releases...
