Brooke Miller is a Canadian singer-songwriter and musician.
Miller was born in Montague, Prince Edward Island, Canada on January 14, 1982. She played saxophone as a child and took up the guitar when she was ten years old.[1] Around age 11 she began writing her own songs and at age 12 formed a trio that eventually toured the Maritimes as an opening act for other bands.[2]
Miller released her first independent CD, Lending an Hourglass, in 2003.[3] A fellow musician, Don Ross, produced her follow-up CD and Miller later married him. She was signed to Sony/ATV Music Publishing in New York City and released the album You Can See Everything on Sony's Hickory Records in 2007.[4] The album was produced by Ross and Peter Lubin, and mixed by Frank Filipetti.[5]
In 2010 Miller released the self-produced album Shake It Off on Candyrat Records.[6] In 2011, her self-titled album featuring new material, and new versions of previously released songs, was issued on the Universal Music Group label. In 2012, Miller released an audiophile SACD/LP recording, entitled "Familiar", on the German hi-fi label Stockfisch Records.
Miller reports that her music has been influenced by Leon Redbone, Ricki Lee Jones, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Cockburn, Ani DiFranco, Joni Mitchell and The Police.[7] [2]
