Della Miles

Della Miles (* Houston , Texas ) is a singer, interpreter, and songwriter.

Life

Della Miles was originally from Houston, Texas and was born into a musical family. Her father, himself a jazz pianist, introduced her to the works of Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald at an early age . At a young age Della Miles moved to Los Angeles, where the music industry noticed her and she was hired for the main character "Ella" in the Michael Jackson musical "Sisterella".

Della Miles performed in clubs in the Houston area during high school, and a half-hearted study of criminal law eventually convinced her that music should be her real calling. Miles could choose her engagements and opted for an engagement as Whitney Houston's background singer . A first album, directed by producer Barry Rosenthal , was also made at the time, but the complications after Rosenthal's sudden death ensured that Miles' debut was released.

At a presentation by Mercedes-Benz she caught the attention of Marius Müller-Westernhagen , who heard her singing from the room next door and was immediately enthusiastic about her voice. Marius Müller-Westernhagen wanted Della Miles on stage on his upcoming tour - officially as a background singer, but soon as a full part of his show. Following the tour, he signed her for his aerobatic label and offered to produce the new songs for Miles' album. Since 2018 she has lived in Mugla-Dalyan, a town on the Turkish Aegean Sea.
