Bea Miller

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Bea Miller. Since her emergence in 2014, Miller has created frank pop-rock songs that sound massive. It makes total sense when you consider her influences, as she grew up exposed to hundreds of records from her mother, a former vinyl DJ, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Alanis Morissette. Then when she was 12, she experienced a life-altering Paramore concert. Watching Hayley Williams onstage “felt transcendent,” and she wanted to be able to do the same one day — even bringing it full circle by playing their 2013 hit “Ain’t It Fun” in her live sets. Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts.
