Dominic Miller is an Argentine - English guitarist.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1960, he spent the first ten years of his life growing up in Argentina before embarking on a journey northwards to Wisconsin, North America, where he notably attended The Prairie School before moving again to London, England two years later. Coming from a musical family, Miller was playing guitar seriously by age 11. He studied at Boston's Berklee College of Music, as well as with Sebastião Tapajós and notably at London's Guildhall School of Music.
After touring and recording with World Party in the 1980s, he became member of King Swamp and toured with them. He later worked on Phil Collins' solo album, …But Seriously. He played guitar on recordings by Sting, and has gone on to work on every Sting album and tour since 1990. He has co-written many notable songs with Sting including 'Shape of My Heart' which was also a hit for Craig David and The Sugababes.
Miller also produced and played on the 1993 Walter Wray solo album "Foxgloves and Steel Strings" which was a natural extension of his King Swamp days with Walter.
Miller tours solo and has released several solo guitar albums. His first album, First Touch, was released in 1995, followed by Second Nature (1999), and New Dawn (2002). He followed these with Third World, released in 2004, and Fourth Wall in 2006.
During 2003, the album Shapes was released, in the UK initially, featuring interpretations of classical pieces by composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Elgar and Albinoni. Shapes was released globally in March 2004 with a revised track layout. The combined global sales are in excess of 100,000.
Miller's recording and interpretation of Albinoni's "Adagio in G minor" conforms to the current conventional interpretations of that piece, and has previously been interpreted in a similar manner by Swedish neoclassical guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. The theme also appears in the film Gallipoli starring Mel Gibson.
Miller resides in France.
