JJ Miller refers to himself as a ‘late bloomer’—an apt way to describe an artist whose expansive, symphonic pop seems to blossom in every direction. Using lush arrangements, dreamy melodies, and poetic, erudite lyrics, the Edmonton-based songwriter crafts songs that express the strangeness of being human. His upcoming release, Hometown Believer, investigates a series of bizarre events from his childhood growing up in a religious community. Hometown Believer will be available February 2025.
