Today we’d like to introduce you to Evan (GONER) Miller.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve always wanted to dive into music & create it myself. I was terrified in the beginning, and it took me years to ever get the courage to start.
Prior, I was a photographer and Videographer working at music festivals and clubs in Florida. Including ULTRA Music Festival and EDC, I was witnessing what it’s like for these artists in real time. It inspired me to try it myself, luckily, it’s what I always wanted.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely not a smooth road, I’d say a “roller coaster” is the perfect terminology when it comes to my career and life.
The highs are amazing, there’s nothing better that I’ve ever experienced but the lows make you feel even worse every time. Moving across the country from Florida to California, leaving my family and everything I’ve ever known was one of the hardest moments in my life.
Chasing something that nobody else saw or even understood was terrifying, luckily some people came around.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an alternative/grunge/rap; music artist. I’m not too sure what to call it, so have fun with it! Haha. Just take it for what you will.
A staple has always been to talk about real-life experiences, real-life issues & dilemmas. Mental health and darkness have become an extension of myself, and my work. That’s something I will forever touch on when it comes to all of this.
I feel like the difference between me and others is I’m simply just telling you how I feel, or publicly showing my life. I’m not trying to be a specific someone, or convey an image that I don’t feel is true to me. I’m just GONER.
The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
I think what the pandemic taught me was how easily everything can be turned around & upside down. It doesn’t matter how much you plan, or think you have things figured out because life is always going to happen.
Another thing is the audacity people have about topics like this, I hate that human lives are a political statement & I believe that’s something we have extremely f*cked up.
