Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI—a city that shaped his story with both pain and hope—ANTHONY D. MILLER JR. is a spoken word artist whose work is meant to be experienced, not just heard. His art is real, raw, and emotional, often rooted in the wounds of being a motherless child, the fight to beat the odds, the ache of heartbreak, and the resilience of love. Through his performances, Anthony invites audiences to see him not just as an artist, but as a person—unafraid to reveal both scars and strength. His stories live beyond the page, pulsing with honest emotion and forging deep connections. Anthony’s voice is a testament to the power of turning pain into poetry, and hope into action.
