About Me

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !My name is Gloria Miller and I am a singer/songwriter specializing in creating and performing Jazz, R&B, and Soul music combining the innocence of music from the 30's and 40's with the relevance of current music that goes beyond the romantic to the real issues that we all face. I’m at a place where the walls are down and there's “just Glo” and that intimacy is what I bring to every performance. If there’s an emotion to be felt, we’ll experience it together!Check out my website at www.gloriamillermusic.com and complete the contact sheet for more information or to book a performance date.BiographySmooth yet edgy, mellow yet powerful, sweet yet sexy … just some of the textures that color Gloria Miller’s unique vocal style as she flows seamlessly between Jazz, Soul, R&B and Blues. With over 20 years experience in the music business, from the first listen you realize that Gloria knows how to use her voice to navigate her audience through a maze of emotions. She brings a level of musicianship to her performance that sets her apart from the rest with her impressive vocal range and her heartfelt delivery of every song she sings. Her aim is to create music for life and she uses this mantra to guide her when writing a song or choosing a song for her show, which consists of a good mix of original and cover tunes.There have been many artists who have influenced Gloria’s approach to communicating a song including Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holliday, Sarah Vaughn, Natalie Cole, Anita Baker, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. She pays tribute to many of these amazing performers during her show covering some of their greatest hits.Gloria has a universal style with a fun and upbeat personality that consistently appeals to audiences across the globe, having performed in Spain, France, Italy, Russia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, England, Africa and all around the U.S. Gloria gives a high energy performance whether she is entertaining as a Duo, Trio or Quartet.In 1989 Gloria released her first solo recording, He Loves Me, and followed up that release with Forever With You in 1996. This independent release received national attention when Gloria performed the title song during Gospel Music Week in Nashville, landing her a distribution deal with Heaven’s Eyes Records. Gloria wrote and co-produced both recordings. In May, 2008 Gloria signed with Tate Music Group (TMG) and is currently in production for her debut TMG release due out this Spring.Originally from Chicago, Gloria relocated to Orlando, Florida in 1999 to work for Disney World as a lead singer in their stage shows. From there she worked as a headliner for several major cruise companies including Disney, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise Lines. Gloria moved to Milwaukee in 2007 and it didn’t take long for her to become a part of its burgeoning music scene. In just a years time Gloria has gained a strong local following and has performed in some of the best venues around town including John Hawk’s Pub, The Art Bar, The Grove, Twist ‘N Olive, Piano Blu, Mason St. Grill and Border’s Books. Gloria was a featured vocalist for Chick Singer Night at Caroline’s back in September and along with her trio was one of the highlights of Jazz in Cutler Park playing to a huge crowd in Waukesha this Summer.Milwaukee has some of the most skilled and talented musicians and Gloria has been fortunate enough to work with many of them including Scott Currier, Lou Cucunato, Sam Steffke, Kostia, John Hefter; Jon Matelski, Tom McGirr, John Price, George Welland, Nick Buendia; Bill Sargent, Jeff Kuliga, Tom Utchig and Lynn Lewandowski.
