This website is dedicated in loving memory of Tommy Miller, loving friend brother, guitarist, vocalist, writer. He wrote and recorded all of songs at the age of 18 by himself. I will be adding songs we recorded between 2001 and 2006 and re-mastering them to a Cd that we will make available in memory of Tommy. My name is Barbara and I am his sister I'm going to write all about Tommy so you can know the man I knew from the beginning of his life to the end. I loved him very much and he will be missed dearly. Thomas Edward Miller was born December 6th 1972, in Hackensack, New Jeresy. He had the biggest blue eyes you have ever seen. Tommy and I moved around alot, but finally he settled in North Bergan, NJ. in 1984 he was 12. We spent our childhood apart, we were rasied by our grandparents and saw our parents on the weekends and the summer. Those weekends were fun. We were partners in crime, and he would never get caught. Me on the other hand would, he would have that shit eatin grin on his face. I would get so mad. There would be a few times we both get caught, and Tommy would talk our way out of trouble. If you knew Tommy then you know what I'm talking about. Tommy & I went threw all differents phases. We did the BMX bike tricks. Can you imagine him doing all those tricks. We both had black Mongoose bikes. We were good!! But then that wore out and we got into the skate boarding. Yes Tommy was a skater not me to much. Where we lived he had lots of hills. There was also I places we hung out at. It was under a high rise, they built one of those half pipes there unfortunately I have no pictures. He had a dog named Fred and everytime he would take Fred for a walk Tommy would let Fred pull him. Fred was a stray, Great Dane Tommy loved him. It broke his heart when we had to put him down. Tommy stayed with Fred to the end so he wouldn't die alone. Tommy's taste in music was bad at first. My friends and I listened to heavy metal how he ever got into rap well I have no idea. Yep he also did the brake dancing too. He had the boom box we ragged him so bad. Sorry no pictures of that either. They would of been good to. Finally he got into REAL MUSIC. Then at the age of 14 Tommy knew right there and then he was going to make his own music. That was his love, his passion, and it will be his life. Tommy was a likable person and he whouldn't take no shit from anyone. As the years went by he got into music more and more. Him and his buddy John would practice all the time. 1988 we moved to Florida that was hell for us. We were outcasts. No one like the way looked, dressed, talked, walked you name it they hated it about us. Tommy and my dad moved back to Jersey 7 months later. When they went back he got a job at a super market and got his GED. Started to buy his own equipment. Tommy's grandmother supported him 100% never told him he couldn't. She encourage him all the way. She belived in him. Unfortunately she passed away before she could see what he accomplished. Tommy loved and respected her it broke his heart when she died in 93. For a few years life was a party for Tommy. He met his first love Jenny. He was truely in love with her. But she broke his heart. Tommy moved back to Florida and stay with me. We shared an apartment in Crystal River, Fl. Tommy met his nephew for the first time. We had out fun and some parties, but about 6 months later he moved back to New Jeresy. Please be patient I will be adding more gradually about Tommy. If anyone would like to add their great memory or story of Tommy and would like to add something it would be appreciated and can contact me here and we will gladly post it.
