Deena's destiny seemed pre ordained in her blood with musical
parents, father, the legendary JIMMY MILLER (THE ROLLING STONES, TRAFFIC,
BLIND FAITH) and mother, Gayle Shepard, member of the singing group "THE SHEPHERD SISTERS" (million selling single "ALONE" /1956).
Finding the road at the age of 16 as her first step toward developing her musical talents culminated in a world tour with rock legend "MEATLOAF" as his featured powerhouse vocalist. Deena has continued to perform around the world with greats; Donna Sommer, Billy Joel, Norah Jones and Paul Shaffer and featured vocalist for numerous large corporate events; GILLETTE, IBM, CADILLAC, LOTUS, MAZDA, READERS DIGEST, BALLY TOTAL FITNESS. Deena's love of performing on stage is only superceded by her passion to produce. From the first time as a little girl sitting on her fathers lap in front of a mixing board to her first recordings created with two cassette players she instinctively synced together to create overdubs, she was hooked! By investing in a 24-track home studio she taught herself the skills needed to produce master quality demos of her songs which led to development artist deals with major labels A&M and RCA. The learning experience was a positive one, which soon lead to the release of her debut album, "A THOUSAND WORDS" (Produced by Deena Miller & Steve Jankowski) on Fore Reel Records in 2002. Deena's ability to produce music of various styles was the reason why she decided to focus her talent in writing, performing and producing original music for Film, TV and radio advertising . Deena took the plunge and immediately found her a new home for her talents. Credits include LIPTON, ALL MY CHILDREN, ABC, CIROC, dozens of local/ regional campaigns and SHOWTIME'S hit show "THE L WORD" . Recently teaming up with the veteran writer, producer, guitarist Dave Fields, their partnership landed them the BALLY TOTAL FITNESS national campaign for 2005. |
