Early life

Angela Kristine Miller was born on February 17, 1994, in Beverly, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. Her father, Guy, and mother, Tana, graduated from Valley Forge Christian College in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. The couple relocated to Massachusetts after Guy attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton to prepare for ordination as a Christian minister. The Millers served at churches in Lynnfield and on Cape Cod, where they resided for eight years, before becoming co-pastors at Remix Church, a member of the Assemblies of God protestant denomination, in Salem. [1] [2] Miller also has a brother, Jonathan. He is two years older than she. He is an integrant of hardcore band, Exiting the Fall. [1]

At an early age, doctors diagnosed that the singer experienced 40-percent hearing loss in her left ear and 20-percent in her right, after discovering that the protective envelope of her eardrums had vanished. [1] [3] Consequently, she had ear tubes placed and, a month prior to her American Idol audition, fits for silicon spray ear plugs. Miller's condition has affected her singing, obstructing her hearing of her surroundings, rather than herself. She claimed that she learned to manage it a couple of years prior to her American Idol audition. [1] In January 2013, her mother revealed to The Salem News that a third surgery to skin graft her eardrum was impending once Miller completed her stint on the series. [1]

As a child, she was introduced to worship music at church [1] and various other styles at home. [2] The Millers are a musical family: Guy plays the keyboard, Tana plays the guitar, and Jonathan plays multiple instruments. Through watching them perform, Miller developed an interest for singing and songwriting at an early age, penning her first effort "Little Sparkle Dress" at age six. [2] [3] Her engagement in children's theatre further nourished her desire to perform. [2] At the age of nine, Miller became an avid fan of the singing competition television series American Idol after seeing the second season finale, which made her long to someday enter the competition herself. [4] She initially began playing guitar, but switched over to piano after receiving lessons from an instructor in Cape Cod. [2] Though never receiving formal vocal training, she refined her singing with critiques from her mother and brother. [2] [5] Miller attended Beverly High School from 2008 to 2012, involving herself in the school's choir, honors vocal ensemble, and theatre program. [1] She appeared in installments of The Will Rogers Follies, My Fair Lady , and Thoroughly Modern Millie. [6] [7] She was an active participant at her father's church as well, leading music during services. [6] During high school, she also held a job at a fast-food restaurant at Northshore Mall in Peabody, [1] and ran a popular YouTube account where she posted videos of herself covering modern hits. [6] In 2011, Miller placed seventh out of over 1,000 contenders [2] in the female solo category at the Assemblies of God National Fine Arts Festival in Phoenix, Arizona. She received scholarship offers from three Christian universities, including her top choice, Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas. Miller did not accept any of the colleges' offers, and instead decided to audition for American Idol upon completing her high school studies. [6]

Music career

2012–13: American Idol

Miller auditioned for the twelfth season of American Idol in September 2012 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, where she received a golden ticket and advanced to the next stage in Hollywood. [1] During the season's final Hollywood rounds, Miller opted to perform the self-penned tune "You Set Me Free" on the piano, and was praised from the judges. [3] At first introduced as Angela, she later adopted the moniker, "Angie", with which judge Keith Urban referred to her. [8] Miller proceeded to perform without her piano, albeit of the judges' suggestions; [9] she permanently retreated to the piano during the Top 7 episode. [10] During the course of the series, Miller tackled songs by Jessie J, Beyoncé, Colton Dixon and others, [9] dominated social media relative to her peers, [11] and was called out for her resemblance to singer Miley Cyrus. [12]

Miller was considered a fan favorite, often placing in the voting's top ranks and becoming the season's sole contestant to not land in the bottom 2 or 3 until her elimination in the Top 3. [13] The elimination was described by journalists as "shocking" and "surprising," [14] to which they attributed competitor Kree Harrison's victory to support from Vote for the Worst, [15] voting from Middle America, [16] and pity votes prompted by her homecoming video. [9] Conversely, Kevin Rutherford of Billboard said the singer's elimination was caused by her inability match the accolades of her "You Set Me Free" performance. [17] Others ascribed her choice to perform Elton John's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" without playing the song on the piano. [9] For her final performance, Miller reprised her version Dixon's "Never Gone" in tears, at times unable to sing, and later approached by her family onstage. [14] [17] Following the elimination, she expressed shock at the results, but claimed both finalists deserved the position in the finale. [9]

After her elimination from American Idol , Miller announced plans to launch a music career as soon as possible, [18] as well as an eventual acting career. [19] Of her intents for her debut studio album, Miller revealed that she wanted to write or co-write all material. She also intended to show all sides to her personality in an intricate and artistic manner which she feels current mainstream music largely lacks. [20] She further explained, [21]

I want to have music that has meaning and is real. I don't want to have dance-party music, but at the same time, I don't want to put people to sleep. I want to incorporate the soulful piano sound with a lot of edge. I know the message that I want to send out, and I know the music I want to do. I can't wait to show it to people.

The top three finalists – Miller, Candice Glover and Harrison – recorded background vocals on a song for judge Mariah Carey's fourteenth studio album, though it is yet to be confirmed whether it will be on the final track listing. [22] On May 17, 2013, subsequent to the series' finale, Miller released her debut single "You Set Me Free" to digital retailers via her American Idol contract with 19 Recordings. [23] [24] On May 22, 2013, reports surfaced that Miller had signed a publishing contract with Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), and is in midst of searching for a record deal.
