Anthony Miller

Anthony Miller is a young artist who floats around through many genres. As a child, the halls of his home echoed with the sounds of the great thought provoking music of the past. Artists such as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and Stevie Wonder, to name a few, formed a strong base for a future musician, painter, poet, sketch artist, and writer. Being born around the same time as Hip-Hop has enabled him to witness the evolution the new voice of the unheard. This mixture of visual, vocal, and physical expression further fueled his passions. Just as some of the most revered artists of the past, Hip-Hop wasn’t readily accepted as an art. This didn’t deter Anthony from being captivated by this birth of a new culture, for he felt a sense of belonging that he’d never felt before. From the music of Hip-Hop, Anthony developed a love of poetry. From the graffiti, arose his love of drawing and painting. And from the dance, he learned the importance of body language and how you can communicate without uttering a sound. By becoming a part of this new movement, he’s learned that people’s opinions are just that, and their usually wrong. Growing up as a part of the original Hip-Hop generation, formerly referred to as “Generation X”, he knows that there are many misconceptions that he hopes to help eradicate. Anthony used to believe that you have to “ignore the ignorant”, a saying he devised in his early teens when encountered with racism and other acts of the unknowing and fearful. He now knows that you have to inform the ignorant. If you ignore a problem, it doesn’t falter, it festers, and becomes another sore on the human race that eventually turns into a cancer. A deep-seeded love of all people has always driven Anthony to be that common bond that everyone can share, hopefully, elevating everyone he encounters to a higher place within themselves.
