After her rental truck broke down in Denver on her way to Los Angeles, this multitalented soul singer decided to stay and has since become a staple on the local music scene. Named by Mayor Hickenlooper in 2008 as one of the 150 people who make the city a better place to live, Miller now spends much of her time donating her talents to various philanthropic events.
