Derek Miller

**Derek Miller** is a powerhouse Mohawk singer-songwriter and guitarist from Six Nations of the Grand River, Ontario, blending gritty rock, blues, and Indigenous storytelling into his music. Known for his raw, riff-driven sound and electrifying live shows, he’s a two-time Juno Award winner (Canada’s Grammy equivalent) who’s been rocking stages since the early 2000s. His work often reflects his Indigenous heritage and advocacy, infusing anthems like *Music Is the Medicine* with themes of resilience and cultural pride. Recent releases like *Colorado Springs* and *The Dirty Looks* keep his signature edge alive, pairing snarling guitar work with lyrics that hit hard and groove harder. Whether he’s shredding solos or sharing stories, Derek’s music feels like a rallying cry—loud, unapologetic, and deeply connected to his roots.
