Douglas Miller's Voice-Today, a rich baritione that has won him Grammy and Stellar Award nominations and fans around the world-was a gem that stood out in his boyhood church choir in Johnstown, PA. Doctor Mattie Moss-Clark, heard that voice while Miller was a student at the University of Akron in Ohio and helped to launch his career. In the years since, Miller has made his mark not just as a singer, but as a successful musician, composer, recording and performing artist and most recently, actor in the hit gospel musicals, "God's Trying To Tell You Something", "Lord Save My Children From Destruction", and "Secret Lover", which he co-starred with Ms Melba Moore.
His first album, "Douglas Miller and the Texas Southeast State Choir", with Mattie Moss-Clark, stayed on the billboard charts for 157 weeks.
Miller's second album, "The Joy Of The Lord Is My Strengh", went all the way to number one the billboard charts, and repeatedly earned him recohnition in a variety of arenas, and had gotten him continual airplay on gospel radio, world-wide.
His next six albums, "I Still Love The Name", "Unspeakable Joy", "Sing Until Morning", "Victory", "Living On The Top", which features a duet of the title song with the great Shirley Ceaser, and "Live in Houston" has earned Miller Grammy and Stellar Award nominations.
Selection from theses albums have become gospel classics, such as: "Do Not Pass Me By', which gave Miller the distinction of the first gospel artist ever to have a song performed on the American Music Awarads, performed by M.C. Hammer in 1991. Other songs, "Unspeakable Joy", "Worthy Is The Lamb", "I Want To Be Holy", and the incomparable "My Soul Is Anchored", all have become main-stays in gospel music.
As a performer, Miller has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, Caribbean, Japan, and Africa, and was recently appointed Minister of Music for South Korea in the Churches of God In Christ. He has shared the stage with gospel greats, such as Shirley Ceaser, Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin, Vickie Winans and Dr. Bobby Jones.
Having already endeared himself to fans with his powerful voice and messages of comfort, inspiration, faith and dedication, Miller was a natural for the cast of "God's Trying To Tell You Something", the acclaimed play that began an important movement in theatre.
Miller extended his reach into the dance arena when choreographer Karen Stewart created a piece for "My Soul I Anchored" for her Miami based Back-Door Dance Ensemble. The piece features Miller singing on stage as the Dance Ensemble performs.
If his past is any indication, Douglas' future, God willing, holds many more accomplishments as recording and performing artist, as well as more explorations into new ways to deliver the gospel through art.
