Meet Faith Miller

We were lucky to catch up with Faith Miller recently and have shared our conversation below.

Faith, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I get my work ethic from my father. Growing up, I watched him work 16 to 20 hour days building his construction business from the ground up. It wasn’t just about providing for our family, it was about watching someone take a dream and make it real through sheer grit. That left a big impression on me. I feel like that drive is in my blood. It’s why I approach everything I do, from music to business, with the mindset that I’ll outwork everyone in the room.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I’m an artist first, and a singer songwriter second. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember, and growing up in a church centered environment gave me endless opportunities to use my voice, from choirs to a cappella groups.

Still, being from a small town without many resources, it was hard to picture what a real career in music could look like. That changed when I met my producer Ashley Booker. From day one, we started crafting and defining my sound. He was adamant that I learn to write my own music, pushing me to sharpen my pen so that every lyric was authentically mine. Learning the art of songwriting from him and how to take a record and turn it into something unforgettable was a game changer.

But for me, the music is just the beginning. I love the full creative process, from conceptualizing visuals to building performances and collaborating with other talented people to bring each song to life. Every project adds another dimension to my work, and that’s what excites me the most.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

In the beginning, the three most impactful qualities for me were having thick skin, showing up early, and investing in my dream myself.

Sometimes people aren’t going to like you, and that’s okay. Not everyone is going to connect with your sound or even your genre, and accepting that early keeps you from letting it control you later. That’s why it’s so important to know who you are before you start releasing music, so you’re not swayed by whatever trend is blowing up on social media that week.

Showing up early has also been huge for me. Whether it’s a shoot, a show, or a meeting, arriving ahead of time shows people you care about what you’re creating, and when they see you care, they care more too. I can’t even count how many opportunities have come my way just from being early and ready.

And finally, investing in yourself is nonnegotiable. This is your dream, not anyone else’s, so it’s not someone else’s responsibility to make it happen. If you want to shoot a music video, you need to figure out how to make it happen financially. As an unsigned artist, people sometimes assume someone else is funding my career, but the truth is, I make it work because I want it more than anyone else could. A team will eventually come together, but in the meantime, it’s my job to create my own art and protect my vision for as long as I can.

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?

I would definitely say Ashley has been the most impactful. I met him at a pivotal point in my life, and it felt like a second chance. He believed in me before I even fully believed in myself. He taught me the formula for writing a great song and has been more than just a producer or manager, he’s been a true friend in this industry.

In many ways, he’s been like a father figure, protecting me from a lot of the nonsense that can come with being a woman in music. Because so many people respect what he’s built, I’ve found they treat me with that same respect, which has helped me grow as an artist and be taken seriously, not as someone with just a hobby.

When I first met Ash, he used to tell me whenever we ran into problems with songs or shoots, “There’s no problems, only solutions.” That’s stuck with me ever since and still motivates me every time I face challenges, both in music and in life.
