Young country traditionalist Alex Miller's life was turned upside down after his appearance on American Idol in 2021. Shortly after his exit from the competition, he secured a manager, booking agent and record deal. His debut album MILLER TIME (April 2022) yielded three successful singles: "I'm Over You, So Get Over Me", "Don't Let The Barn Door Hit Ya" and "Through With You". His next release on Billy Jam Records, the EP COUNTRY (October 2023), followed with "When God Made The South", "Girl, I Know A Guy" and the smash hit "Puttin' Up Hay".

The 23-year-old, 6' 1" singer-songwriter from Lancaster, Kentucky has quickly become a crowd favorite. After extensive touring in 2021, he was named Texas Roadhouse Artist of the Month and dueted with Grand Ole Opry star Rhonda Vincent during the Lee Greenwood All-Star Salute. In 2022, he played at several state fairs and opened for Hank Williams Jr., Josh Turner, Lee Brice, Shenandoah, Brooks & Dunn, Jamey Johnson, King Calaway and Aaron Watson. He also shared the stage with Diamond Rio and Sawyer Brown, and made his debut at the Wild Rose Casinos in Iowa.

By the end of 2023, Miller had performed with Chris Janson, Chapel Hart, Drake Milligan, Noah Thompson, Dillon Carmichael, HunterGirl, Emily Ann Roberts, and Tracy Byrd. He performed at a number of state and county fairs, and also started the radio show MILLER TIME with CMR Nashville. That same year, he received the American FFA Degree, the organization's highest honor.

The busy touring business gave him inspiration from several musical genres, and in 2024 he opened concerts for Justin Moore, Ian Munsick, Neal McCoy, Alabama and more. "I'm always working on getting better, but I'm country, and that's never going to change," he says.

Songwriting is central to his career. In the past year, he has co-written with Kent Blazy, Larry Cordle, Kirsti Manna, Byron Hill, Jamey Johnson, Wood Newton, Jerry Salley, Josh Shilling, Bill Whyte, Emily Ann Roberts, Mo Pitney, Allie Colleen and Sara Jean Kelley.

The EP MY DADDY'S DAD was released in April 2024. Alex co-wrote three of the five songs. The title track quickly became a radio hit, and "She Makes Dirt Look Good" also achieved great success. The songs show both the rough and the more romantic side of the artist.

Alex began performing at the age of seven, and has since played at venues including the Dolby Theatre, Lucas Oil Stadium, WoodSongs, Renfro Valley, and Lincoln Jamboree. His strong tenor voice and solid musicianship have earned him a large fan base.

Career highlights include a Grand Ole Opry debut in June 2024, a role as an ambassador for the Kentucky Proud program in July 2025, and a collaboration with Cowboy Hardware Western Wear in 2026.

In 2026, he released the duet "More Country Than You" with Emily Ann Roberts, the single "The Byrd" with Tracy Byrd, "Secondhand Smoke", written by Alan Jackson and Jim McBride, and the most recent single "Just A Mom". On April 10, he released his fourth project for Billy Jam Records, the ten-track album MORE COUNTRY THAN YOU.
