BIO
The son of Mohican-German parents was born on the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation
in northern Wisconsin. His Mohican name is
Fush-Ya Heay ("Bird Song")
Grammy award winning artist Bill Miller, is inspired by his native American heritage, for inspiration, but is not limited by it. Rather, he takes his message across genres and international boundaries through the traditional culture of storytelling, music. His message of hope and reconciliation is clear, and he communicates it through his music, his live performances and his visual arts. An international ambassador of song and hope, he traveled last month to Israel to perform his symphony, a work that resonates with themes of anticipation and resolution. Bill is the first Native American to enter the classical arena. He has been met with universal acclaim. It is no accident his clear, and calm uplifting message resonates with many. Just ask Vince Gill, Tori Amos and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam just a few who seek him out.
"Prayers For The Truth," states all that the Native American Indian community hold sacred, while offering forgiveness to those that nearly annihilated an entire people.

Brenda – Thank you very much for bringing Mr. Miller to our district. I know how very lucky we are to have had him in our midst and hopefully his spirit will stay with us for a long time.
In a small rural community we have received a wonderful gift of an inspirational artist, if only for a short time, and we are blessed and a little better for having been in his presence.
Bill Miller is now available to do personal commissioned artwork.
Bill's paintings are truly unique, one of a kind and created in his own studio.

Loved your spot on RFD-TV with Paul LaRoche on Hidden Heritage. You really touched my heart. Love your music. I'm also trying to collect all the Native American themed trail of painted ponies and didn't realize it but I have your Ghost Horse design. Love it.
Many blessings to you Bill! Thank you for sharing the gift of music with us, Creator picked a good "Little Hollow Bone" to flow through! Keep on keep'n on!
Wish I had one more day for the weekend, seems like I just couldn't get into the groove to do what I needed done. Oh well there's next weekend. I guess no TRICK or TREAT for me. The Santa Anna winds are blowing right now and my chimes are playing away. Have a great week!
