Here’s how Jen Miller’s Knee Injuries Led Her to Become a Songwriter and Artist

Jen Miller is songwriter, recording  artist, and activist who floats between DC and Nashville. An Ohio-native, Jen Miller first found love in a ukulele and an old, out of tune piano in her parents’ living room, where she began creating her own unique style — but music wasn’t her first love. Like a Drew Barrymore 90s movie, during the biggest recruiting season of her life, Jen suffered two devastating knee injuries within a year, leaving her without a scholarship, and with her passion for soccer dampered. Out of desperation to find something new to put her time and effort into, Jen turned to her first ukulele, and began uploading covers and original songs to YouTube. After mastering soprano ukulele, Jen picked up piano, baritone ukulele, and guitar. Like many other artists of her generation, 25-year old singer-songwriter Jen Miller initially sparked her musical career through the Internet, fostering a following on YouTube, which eventually turned into several tours.
