Another episode of Artist Friendly arrives this week. Following conversations with Matt Koma of Winnetka Bowling League, Tori Kelly, and Matt Pryor of the Get Up Kids, Bea Miller will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
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.
