DEENA MILLER- www.deenamiller.com Considering her upbringing, it's no wonder that singer/songwriter/guitarist Deena Miller became a musician. After all, how could a child growing up in a house with legendary producer Jimmy Miller (Rolling Stones, Traffic, Blind Faith) and singer Gayle Shepherd (formerly of The Shepherd Sisters www.theshepherdsisters.com) not grow up to be involved somehow in music? By the time Deena was 8 years old, she was already singing her own songs and accompanying them on guitar. Her remarkable talent as a singer led Deena on a world tour with Meatloaf, as his featured vocalist and to the position as Director of New York City's "Chick Singer Night" www.chicksingernight.com , the longest running National showcase for female singer songwriters now in it's 17th year. Deena has many credits under her belt, having sung with many name acts. ( i.e Donna Summer, Norah Jones, Billy Joel, Yoko Ono, Paul Shaffer)... you have also head Deena on numerous tv & radio commercials Bally Total Fitness (writer/vocalist) Showtime The "L" Word, Medipren, 1-800 FLOWERS, Bradlees, AT&T, and many more... Deena currently promots her debut CD "A Thousand Words," ( Fore Reel records) a dramatic collection of songs that wonderfully showcase Deena's range as a singer, guitartist, songwriter and producer.
