We were lucky to catch up with Faith Miller recently and have shared our conversation below.

Faith , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

Every new project I take on becomes more meaningful, as I’m constantly learning more about myself—how I process life, emotions, and the experiences that shape me, both as an artist and as a young woman. The song I’m currently working on has had the biggest personal impact on me so far because it explores the longest relationship I’ve ever been in. That relationship was my safety net, and learning to be comfortable on my own has been one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced. This song became my way of expressing that journey.

He was my best friend—we did everything together—so coming to terms with a future without the person I once thought I’d marry was heartbreaking. I really wanted to push myself creatively with the visuals, blending reality and fantasy to reflect that emotional contrast. Some elements in both the song and the visuals carry a literal meaning, while others are more abstract, allowing listeners to interpret them in their own way.

With my last solo music video, Is It Love?, I started incorporating more storytelling into my visuals, using them as an extension of my music. Since my songs are deeply personal, I often visualize them as I write, and this project is no different.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m a singer and songwriter from Kirksville, Missouri, a small town where I grew up singing my whole life. But it wasn’t until college that I started writing as a way to process everything I was going through. I didn’t take a music career seriously until I met my producer, Ashley Booker. He saw something in me and wanted to help develop me as an artist. Working with him has pushed me to become a better writer and singer. It’s important for me to surround myself with people who challenge me to grow because, as artists, we sometimes get stuck in our own perspectives. Having someone like Ash, who gives me the space to develop while also letting me take the creative lead, has been invaluable.

One of the things I’m most proud of is the hard work I put in last year to stay consistent. As an independent artist funding my own career, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it—and I did. The lessons I learned through that process have shaped how I approach my current project, helping me adapt and evolve.

Music isn’t just a dream for me—it’s my reality. Waking up every day and getting to create is something I never take for granted. That’s what drives me to keep going and work as hard as I do—because I love it that much.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

My first music video shoot for “Heaven Sent” was a total mess—nothing went as planned. Our videographer canceled, locations fell through, and there were a million other problems. The person who was supposed to film the behind-the-scenes footage ended up shooting the entire video. Halfway through, I started getting really nervous because I had no idea if we’d gotten enough footage or if it would even turn out the way I imagined. But when we finally sat down to edit, it looked exactly how I had pictured it in my head—and I felt so pretty. I actually started crying.

Now, every time my videographer, XVI, and I edit a video, we joke about how I always end up crying because it makes me so happy to see everything come together. Watching a vision I had in my head turn into something real from a song I wrote—it’s the most rewarding feeling.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

If people truly want to support artists, the best thing they can do is engage with their social media posts, stream and download their music, and buy tickets to their shows. I hear people say, “When you make it, don’t forget about us ‘little people,’” but the truth is, the people who show up in the beginning are the ones who make the biggest impact on our careers.

Liking, commenting, and sharing on social media is completely free, yet it makes a huge difference. With how the industry works today, social media has become a game-changer—anyone can make music, but it takes social proof to build a real career. If you have friends chasing a music dream, one of the easiest ways to support them is by simply engaging with their content. It might seem small, but it means everything.
