Jennifer Harper Miller

Jennifer Harper Miller, was born in Los Angeles, CA and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio in the 1970's. Both of her parents, her sister and numerous other members of her family are Deaf. She is also a nationally certified ASL Interpreter. She fell in love with music at a young age, writing her first song as a second grade project. Her teacher, loved her song, "Spring Fever," which she wrote, composed and performed, but was informed her song may be misconstrued as too suggestive for her school's annual spring show. She spent nearly 10 years as a gymnast and vocal student during her schooling years and later joined her first band in Boston, Kick the Kan, an Irish Celtic band. She started off doing grunt roadie work for the band, attending every rehearsal, hoping for a chance to get a chance to sing on stage. Though never a commercial success, this experience began an increasingly satisfying, semi-professional, musical career. She fronted Cincinnati local rock band, Ramatam, a local cover band then moved to Miami to front several other projects, strengthening her stage experience and vocal range, while attending Miami Dade College to pursue her degree in music and making a living as a certified ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter. After learning the inner workings of theory, she left her band at the time, Vanity Killz, which still performs locally in Los Angeles, to form Crimson Juliet in 2006. She was able to finally embark on writing original music, learned piano, bass and "some really basic guitar," as she describes it. Though not a major commercial success nationally, she continued to write, perform, and compose, gaining a respectable following in the South Florida music scene. She's written and performed music for the film short, "Miss Poppins," where she met and married her husband, actor, P. David Miller, on New Year's Day of 2016. She's done some small parts in a few films, but doesn't see herself as an actress in any way. "I'm a musician. I'm not a big fan of movie cameras and am actually a bit camera-shy. As for music, there could be cameras everywhere and I'd be oblivious, because I'm so lost in the music. Time stands still and I'm lost in the vibe of the music, the energy of the audience and the bond with my fellow musicians as we share our souls through music. It's really beautiful to create something from something that was once merely a passing thought, feeling or experience into a tangible emotional product. My soul feels completely released and free." In 2018, she began working on new material in an band that's not yet been announced. She'll be performing throughout the Los Angeles area, and potentially more in 2019, where she hopes to take her cumulative experience in music and life to create music that fuses genres, confronts important world issues, while remaining true to her hard rock roots. She also will continue writing as a solo artist, with the goal of placing her work in film and television.
