Early life

Miller was born Noel Millar [1] in Toronto on 19 August 1989. [2] His family life remains private, and his ambiguous ethnicity has become a running joke in his work and among fans. Soon after he was born, he and his family moved to Los Angeles. He studied business at California State University, Northridge, dropping out during his penultimate semester. [3]

Career

2016–2017: Web development, Fullscreen, and music production

After dropping out of college, Miller turned to web development and began working at Fullscreen, where he met Cody Ko. [3] [4] The following year, the two began creating comedy sketches and uploading to YouTube. [5]

In 2017, the two began releasing satirical rap under the Tiny Meat Gang (TMG) name and released Bangers and Ass, their first EP. After being repeatedly demonetized under violations of YouTube's community guidelines, the two began a podcast of the same name to recover from their losses.

2017–2022: Tiny Meat Gang podcast and live tour, Suki, and music

On October 27, 2017, the duo uploaded their first episode of the Tiny Meat Gang podcast to their joint YouTube channel. [6] The podcast, funded initially by Patreon supporters, discusses pop and Internet culture, and is satirical in nature. Each episode is approximately one hour long.

In 2018, Miller and Kolodziejzyk went on a live joint tour. The duo released their second EP, Locals Only. That same year, Post Malone was featured as a guest on an episode of the podcast. [7]

In 2019, Tiny Meat Gang won the Best Podcast award at the 11th Shorty Awards, [8] and shortly after, embarked on another United States live comedy tour, performing under the Tiny Meat Gang name. The duo released two more singles, "Walk Man" and "short kings anthem", the latter released with Blackbear. [9]

That same year, Miller released Suki, a dark comedy short film, on YouTube. The film was crowdfunded on GoFundMe and received over $11,000 in donations. [10] As of August 2023, the short film received over 1.2 million views on YouTube. [11]

In 2020, Miller, under his mononymous stage name (stylized NOEL), released his first solo EP Push. [12] As a duo, Tiny Meat Gang released two more singles, "Broke Bitch" and "Sofia". [13]

In 2022, Miller released three more singles, "Rat Race", "Pacemaker", and "Day Date", and with Tiny Meat Gang, released "Daddy" featuring Quinn XCII. [14]

2022–Present: TMG Studios and the Everything is F#&ked tour

Miller and Kolodziejzyk founded TMG Studios, a comedy podcast network. The network, represented by United Talent Agency, hosts seven different podcasts, including the duo's original TMG Podcast, as well as Cody Ko's Insanely Chill. The TMG Podcast is hosted on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, as well as their own website. Each weekly show is split into two hour-long halves: the first hour being free with ad reads throughout, and the second hour being available only to paid supporters of the podcast on their website. [15]

In 2023, Miller embarked on the worldwide solo Everything is F#&ked tour, where he performed stand-up comedy. [16] He released his debut stand-up comedy special, Stop Crying, for free on YouTube in October of that year. [17]

Personal life

Miller began dating British-born American podcaster and YouTuber Aleena Akhtar on January 13, 2012, [18] and they were married on October 10, 2022. [19]
