Who is Jen Miller?
Jen Miller is a Nashville-based artist, producer, and songwriter known for unflinching, emotionally precise songwriting that blends folk roots with pop, R&B, and soul.
Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Miller began writing and touring as a teenager, building an independent career that took her across the country and onto stages with artists including Ed Sheeran, Passenger, Cage The Elephant, Twenty One Pilots, Young the Giant, Shakey Graves, and Shovels & Rope.
In 2019, Miller emerged as a female record producer to be noticed, with her self-produced album Blue Earth that went top 20 on iTunes pop chart independently. Her songwriting and production work with artists like Adam Mac, Harper Grae, Jenna Devries, Nina Lee, and more has been featured in People, CMT, MTV, and Billboard.
In 2023, grief reshaped her sound on Smoky Mountain Special, a stark, banjo-driven roots record that earned Recording Academy consideration for Best Folk Album and Best American Roots song. Jen Miller has spent more than a decade learning how to make records, write songs, tour, produce, and build a career on her own terms.
On Jen Miller Must Die, she stops worrying about what any of those things are supposed to sound like. Arriving November 13, 2026, Miller's 13-track album moves freely between indie rock, roots, soul, alt-pop, and folk songwriting. It's a record about wanting people, losing people, misunderstanding people, forgiving people—and occasionally wanting to scream at them.
A daily Transcendental Meditation practitioner, Miller sees the album as an invitation to thank the versions of ourselves that helped us survive—and then let them go. Across 13 songs, Miller sounds less interested in fitting into a genre than in following a song wherever it wants to go. Jen Miller Must Die is out November 13, 2026.
