ABOUT ALEX MILLER  This 22-year-old 6’ 6” entertainer from rural Lancaster, Kentucky is a natural fan favorite whose American Idol Season 19 run brought him fame and changed his life in 2021. Released in 2022, Alex’s well-received debut album, MILLER TIME (produced by Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records), generated three high-impact singles: “Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya,” “Through With You,” and “I’m Over You, So Get Over Me.” His second release for the label, COUNTRY (2023), brought more hits: “When God Made The South,” “Girl, I Know A Guy,” and the smash single, “Puttin’ Up Hay,” which spent three weeks at #1 on the CDX True Indie Chart and graced the Top 50 on the Mediabase Activator Chart. When Alex hits the stage he owns the spotlight – and the hearts of those in the crowd. He can be a wild man onstage with his high-energy performances – ala early Garth Brooks – or he can bring nuance and deep emotion to a tender ballad. He’s toured the State and County Fair circuit heavily (KY, MO, NY, WA, WI, IL, IN, OK, WV), and opened for Brooks & Dunn, Hank, Jr, Josh Turner, Lee Brice, Jamey Johnson, Luke Bryan, Chris Janson, Ian Munsick, Justin Moore, Alabama, Trace Adkins, Shenandoah, Dillon Carmichael, HunterGirl, Emily Ann Roberts, Neal McCoy, Tracy Byrd and others. Alex has also made sure to carve out time for his songwriting, and he has collaborated with hitmakers Kent Blazy, Jamey Johnson, Larry Cordle, Belle Frantz, Byron Hill, Carl Jackson, Kirsti Manna, John Meador, Mo Pitney, Wood Newton, Emily Ann Roberts, Jerry Salley, Josh Shilling, and Bill Whyte. Closing out a spectacular 2023, Alex received the American FFA Degree for Excellence, the organization’s highest accolade. Miller kicked off 2024 with the April release of a well-crafted five-song EP, MY DADDY’S DAD (Billy Jam Records), which generated several hits. Country radio embraced the project’s title track, as well as the up-tempo follow up “She Makes Dirt Look Good.” Alex moved to Nashville in May 2024 and made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry the following month. In early 2025, Miller released “The Byrd,” featuring Country icon Tracy Byrd. The single spent two weeks at #1 on the CDX True Indie Chart and hit the Top 50 on the Mediabase Activator Chart. The track’s companion music video premiered in May on the CMT Music Channel. In July, Miller was chosen as a brand ambassador with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Kentucky Proud program and this year, he signed a sponsorship agreement with clothier Cowboy Hardware Western Wear.     ABOUT BILLY JAM RECORDS Billy Jam Records is a boutique Americana and Country label and home to Alex Miller, fan favorite from American Idol.
