In 2014, Tampa-native John Miller took a leap of faith and headed to Nashville to build a career as a songwriter. Since then, his songs have been recorded by over 100 artists, including Blessing Offor (Capitol Records), Tiera Kennedy (Big Machine), Bailey James ("Finally Free" reached #42 on the Billboard charts), Cassidy Rae Gaiter ("All the Feels" topped the charts in Australia), and more. In 2023, he launched EDBH (Eat. Drink. Be Happy.), a lifestyle brand that celebrates living life to the fullest through music, merchandise, and more.

In this episode, we chat about the expectations vs. realities of moving to Nashville to pursue a songwriting career, insights into the collaborative aspect of the music industry, how his perceptions and goals evolved over the years, his advice to anyone just starting out on their journey to chase the Nashville dream, and so much more!
