Welcome, Deanna.
This time, Writers4Higher takes a slightly different direction, highlighting the artistic writing and singing talent of Deanna Squeaky Miller.
Writing and giving back are the backbone of so many artistic endeavors. Enjoy learning a bit about his multi-talented entertainer!
Tell me about yourself.
Your songs(s), your life, your inspiration.
I am a Tallahassee native. My city is my living,
and I love it! Family, friends, community, and music is right here for me.
Everything here inspires my art as a singer, songwriter, and performer. I truly
believe God is Love and we should show love to one another through our actions,
and words. My lyrics come from my heart. Some people see it as being too
positive, but I think there’s enough negative music adding fuel to our burning
fires. Spiritual soul does the opposite, uplifting and inspiring the listener
to believe in the power of Love. So, when they hear “Give to You Love”, “Keep
On Praying”, and “Good Medicine” the message is about gratitude and living in
love.
Where do you see your singing career taking you in the future?
Well, it’s only been three years as an indie
artist and this journey has opened some awesome doors. I’ve been blessed to
share the stage with artists/musicians like Royce Lovett, Tim Guitargoodness
Clark, Cody ChesnuTT, Isabel Davis, D Swint and international opera singer Mr.
Curtis Rayam, Jr. ,to name a few, and many others I highly admire.
I see myself collaborating and writing with some
big names in the music industry within five years, and want to do some touring
, after I release my first full album. Hopefully that will be this year! It’s
not an easy thing.... putting an album together. I am learning as much as I can
about the art of singing, too.....I just want to be a better Deanna Squeaky
Miller in every new opportunity presented to sing for the people!
How do you use your
talents/time to help others?
Serving through singing means everything to me!
That’s my purpose and I understand what is required of me to fulfill it! You
have to have an unselfish mindset to serve, and I thank God that comes easy
for me.
I perform at fundraisers and community events
all the time. I mean to witness the joy on individuals’ faces, you know are in
need of a moment to forget about their problems just gives me a sense of
purpose! I love people and I love to serve. That’s why I call my music “love
ministry”. It’s all about showering love in action through music to inspire and
heal our community.
