ABOUT ALEX!

Young Country traditionalist Alex Miller’s world expanded wildly following his American Idol experience in 2021. Shortly after his exit from the show, Miller secured a manager, a booking agent, and a record label. Alex’s well-received debut album, MILLER TIME (April 2022), generated three high-impact singles: “I’m Over You, So Get Over Me,” “Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya,” and “Through With You.” Miller’s second project for Billy Jam Records, the EP COUNTRY (October 2023), featured additional hits: “When God Made The South,” “Girl, I Know A Guy,” and the smash single, “Puttin’ Up Hay.”     

The 22-year-old 6’ 6” singer/songwriter from rural Lancaster, Kentucky is a natural fan favorite whose career has moved at warp speed. In addition to touring heavily throughout 2021, this talented newcomer was honored as the Texas Roadhouse Artist of the Month (October) and performed a duet with Grand Ole Opry star Rhonda Vincent at the Lee Greenwood All-Star Salute concert (November). By the beginning of 2022, Alex had entertained at multiple State Fairs (Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Washington, Wisconsin), and opened for Hank, Jr, Josh Turner, Lee Brice, and Shenandoah. His star continued to rise, and even more bookings rolled in with Miller opening for Brooks & Dunn, Jamey Johnson, King Calaway, and Aaron Watson in 2022. Additionally, he shared the stage with Diamond Rio and Sawyer Brown and debuted at the popular Wild Rose Casinos in Iowa.      

By the end of 2023, Alex had appeared on bills with: Chris Janson, Chapel Hart, Drake Milligan, Noah Thompson, Dillon Carmichael, HunterGirl, Emily Ann Roberts and Tracy Byrd. Miller performed at State Fairs in Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, and West Virginia, plus County Fairs in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Alex also partnered with CMR Nashville, Europe’s #1 Country Music Radio Station, to host a curated monthly radio show called MILLER TIME - a fun, inside look at Miller’s inventive mind. Closing out a spectacular year, he received the American FFA Degree for excellence, the organization’s highest accolade.     

His heavy touring schedule exposed Alex to alternate genres and new artists, and in 2024 he opened for headliners Justin Moore, Ian Munsick, Neal McCoy, Alabama, and more. “I’m always working to better myself and my music,” Alex says. “But I’m country… ain’t nothin’ gonna change that.”

Miller is serious about carving out time for his songwriting. “It really helps me stay centered on who I am as an artist while at the same time giving me a chance to experiment a bit,” Alex notes. In the last 12 months alone, Alex has collaborated with hitmakers Kent Blazy, Larry Cordle, Kirsti Manna, Byron Hill, Jamey Johnson, Wood Newton, Jerry Salley, Josh Shilling, and Bill Whyte. Miller has also written with select talented newcomers, including Emily Ann Roberts, Mo Pitney, Allie Colleen, and Sara Jean Kelley. “Writing with these folks has been huge for me,” Alex says. “It’s broadened my horizon musically and made me more confident with my songwriting. And hey, when it works and you’ve got a good song at the end of the day, there’s no better feeling.”     

Alex’s songwriting is a highlight of his current EP, MY DADDY’S DAD, released April 2024. The energetic entertainer co-wrote three of the project’s five songs. Produced by Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records, the collection’s title track and first single quickly became a Country radio hit. “She Makes Dirt Look Good,” the EP’s hit second single release, enjoyed a long and successful radio run. The songs from MY DADDY’S DAD range from rowdy to romantic and prove Miller is here for the long haul.    

For a “kid from Kentucky” who began his career at the age of seven, Alex’s commitment to his craft is hardly in doubt. As a youngster, he quickly progressed from shows in and around his hometown of Lancaster to larger markets. Alex performed at the Dolby Theatre, Lucas Oil Stadium, WoodSongs, Renfro Valley, Lincoln Jamboree and more. His expressive tenor voice and skills as a musician have brought him legions of fans over the years, and he continues to display his Country credentials on stage and in the studio.  

Career highlights include Alex’s debut on the Grand Ole Opry (June 2024), his appointment as ambassador for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Kentucky Proudprogram in July 2025 and partnership with Cowboy Hardware Western Wear for 2026.

Miller has delivered a few surprises to fans this year including “More Country Than You,” a streaming duet track with Emily Ann Roberts, and the honkin’ tonkin’ radio-active single, “The Byrd,” which features Country icon Tracy Byrd. Alex, a neo-traditionalist, is keeping the classic Country flame burning with his latest single, “Secondhand Smoke,” written by Alan Jackson and Jim McBride.  

Alex has just released his fourth project for Billy Jam Records, a 10-song album titled MORE COUNTRY THAN YOU, on April 10.
