Dominic Miller, wider known as Sting’s trusty side-kick guitarist, is also a very successful solo artist having released 12 albums under his own name.
Bandleader Miller enjoys an enviable reputation both in the professional world of music and amongst music fans everywhere.
Born in Buenos Aires to an American father and a Irish mother he studied guitar at Boston's prestigious Berklee College and the London Guildhall School of Music. He’s been a sought after session musician since the late 80s and his list of engagements defy categorisation but includes collaborations with Phil Collins, The Chieftains, Eddi Reader, Katie Melua, Bryan Adams, Paul Young, Nigel Kennedy, Peter Gabriel, and Tina Turner, to name a few.
Dominic Miller has been involved in every Sting album since the 1991 album "The Soul Cages" and performed over a thousand concerts with the former "Police" singer as well as co-written hit songs such as "Shape Of My Heart" and “La Belle Dame sans regrets”.
Now with his new album "Vagabond" he will be adding another highlight to his solo discography. Recorded at studio “La Buissonne” in the South of France with world-class musicians – Ziv Ravitz on drums, Nicolas Fiszman on bass and Jacob Karlzon on piano, he has crafted a fascinating sound mixture of Jazz, Pop, Acoustic Folk, Contemporary Classical and Latin elements. “Vagabond” combines all those styles producing something entirely new. An appropriate genre term for such a symbiosis doesn’t yet exist but we feel it soon will.
