Hello everyone, it’s your host Tehillah from DULAXI, and today I’m delighted to be joined by John Miller, a Paris-based electronic music artist whose latest single, Sexy Blueberry, offers a deeply personal exploration of love, heartbreak, and emotional vulnerability.
John Miller is based in Paris, France, and creates music across the electronic spectrum, drawing from Deep House, EDM, House, Minimal Techno, Tech House, Techno, Electronic Pop, and Dance influences. Released on 25th June 2026, Sexy Blueberry marks an important chapter in his artistic journey, transforming deeply personal experiences into an emotionally immersive musical statement.
Before we begin our conversation with John Miller, here’s what you need to know about today’s featured project.
About John Miller
Some artists create music to entertain, while others create because they have something they cannot leave unspoken. For Paris-based artist John Miller, songwriting has become a language through which emotions too difficult for ordinary conversation find their voice. His work is built on sincerity, allowing deeply personal experiences to shape music that resonates with listeners who have experienced love, loss, longing, and the difficult process of healing.
Working independently, Miller has developed an artistic identity rooted in emotional honesty rather than external trends or influences. His creative philosophy centers on authenticity, trusting genuine feelings to guide both the writing and recording process. Instead of disguising vulnerability, he embraces it, believing that the most meaningful songs often emerge from life’s most difficult moments. This commitment to emotional truth gives his music an intimate quality, inviting listeners into experiences that feel personal while remaining universally relatable.
Released on 25th June 2026, Sexy Blueberry represents one of the most personal works of his career. The single was written during a period of profound emotional struggle, capturing the complicated reality of continuing to love someone after a relationship has ended. Rather than presenting heartbreak as a simple story of loss, the song explores the tension between enduring affection and personal pride, revealing the emotional distance that can exist even when feelings remain unchanged.
At the heart of the release is the story of an ex-lover who continues to occupy Miller’s thoughts and heart. Instead of expressing those emotions directly, he channels them into music, allowing the song itself to become both a confession and a love letter. Throughout the track, poetic imagery reflects the contradictions that often accompany love, balancing passion with pain and longing with restraint. One particularly memorable passage, “We move like beautiful violence, Champagne sins and hotel silence, You dance like heaven never wanted us, And maybe that’s exactly why I stay,” illustrates the emotional complexity that defines the release while leaving room for listeners to connect the imagery with their own experiences.
The creation of Sexy Blueberry was shaped as much by emotion as by technique. Rather than approaching the recording process with a focus on perfection, Miller allowed instinct and feeling to guide every stage of production. His personal suffering became an inseparable part of the creative process, resulting in a recording that preserves the raw emotional energy present when the song was first written. Every decision serves the larger purpose of communicating emotional truth without unnecessary embellishment.
Although Sexy Blueberry is deeply rooted in introspection, it also represents an important stage in an evolving artistic journey. While remaining committed to emotionally driven storytelling, Miller has begun exploring broader electronic influences and has hinted at a future project that leans further into techno. Rather than viewing genres as creative boundaries, he approaches them as different musical languages capable of expressing different emotional experiences. Whether working within deep house, tech house, techno, or other electronic styles, his priority remains unchanged: allowing each song to honestly reflect the emotion that inspired it.
This balance between artistic growth and emotional consistency suggests an artist who continues to evolve without losing sight of the authenticity that defines his work. As his musical direction expands, the emotional core of his songwriting remains firmly intact, ensuring that every release feels deeply personal while continuing to invite listeners into experiences that transcend individual stories.
Having this brief introduction to today’s featured project, I’m sure both new listeners and longtime fans are excited to hear directly from John Miller. So, without further ado, let’s begin today’s interview.
INTERVIEW SESSION
Tehillah:
Your music appears to come from a place of deep emotional honesty, where personal experiences become the foundation of your art. Before we explore Sexy Blueberry, who is John Miller beyond the music, and what life experiences have shaped the way you process emotions, love, and vulnerability?
John Miller:
Beyond music, I’m someone shaped by discipline, love, loss, and the need to rebuild. These experiences taught me that vulnerability is not weakness, but honesty. Music became the place where I could turn difficult emotions into something meaningful.
Tehillah:
Heartbreak can affect people in very different ways, and for you it became something that needed to be expressed through songwriting. When did you realize that your personal pain could become a creative outlet, and how has transforming those emotions into music helped you understand yourself better?
John Miller:
It wasn’t really a conscious decision. I just needed to express myself without overthinking and let out what I had inside. Music became a way to release those emotions, and understanding them came later.
Tehillah:
You describe your creative approach as being guided by authenticity rather than outside influences, allowing your own emotional experiences to shape the music. What does staying completely honest with yourself mean to you as an artist, especially when that honesty requires exposing parts of yourself that may feel uncomfortable?
John Miller:
It means not trying to make the emotion look prettier or more impressive than it really is. Sometimes honesty is uncomfortable, but that discomfort is often where the most sincere music comes from.
Tehillah:
Coming from Paris, a city often associated with romance, art, and emotional expression, how has your environment influenced the way you view love, relationships, and storytelling through your music?
John Miller:
Paris influenced the way I see love, but so did the world we lived in. The woman I love lives in London, and the journeys between cities shaped our relationship, so travel, distance, and different places naturally became part of my emotional language and my music.
Tehillah:
Your artistry is built around the idea that a wounded heart can create something meaningful. How would you describe the relationship between your personal experiences and your identity as an artist, and what do you hope listeners understand about the person behind the songs?
John Miller:
My personal experiences naturally shape my music, but I’m not defined only by heartbreak. I’m also driven by curiosity, discipline, love, travel, and the need to keep evolving. I hope listeners hear someone who feels deeply, but who is always trying to turn life, both its darkness and its beauty, into something meaningful.
Tehillah:
Sexy Blueberry feels like both a confession and a love letter, capturing the complicated space between still loving someone and being unable to express those feelings because of pride. What was the emotional moment that pushed you to finally tell this story through music?
John Miller:
It came from realizing that what I wasn’t saying had become heavier than the feelings themselves. At first, pride created distance, but that distance helped me rebuild my self-respect and eventually learn to love myself more deeply. The music became the place where I could finally express everything I had kept inside.
Tehillah:
The song centers around an ex-lover who still occupies your thoughts and heart, creating a tension between longing and emotional distance. How did you approach writing about someone who is no longer beside you but still holds such a significant place in your life?
John Miller:
I wrote from the space between absence and presence. She was no longer beside me, but she was still part of my inner world. I tried not to romanticize the distance, but to be honest about the fact that some people can leave your life and still remain deeply connected to who you are.
Tehillah:
The line “We move like beautiful violence / Champagne sins and hotel silence” creates a vivid picture of a relationship filled with both passion and conflict. When writing lyrics like these, how do you transform specific memories and emotions into imagery that allows other people to see pieces of their own experiences within the song?
John Miller:
I start with a real feeling or memory, then I reduce it to a few strong images. I don’t want to explain every detail, the space around the words allows listeners to connect the song to their own relationships, passions, and contradictions.
Tehillah:
One of the most powerful aspects of Sexy Blueberry is the idea of saying “I love her” through music when pride makes those words difficult to say directly. How did you navigate the vulnerability of revealing those feelings publicly while still carrying the personal emotions attached to the relationship?
John Miller:
Music gave me enough distance to say what I couldn’t say directly. The feeling remained deeply personal, but once it became a song, it no longer felt like a confession only for her. It became something I could share without losing myself in it.
Tehillah:
You describe this release as one where your heart is present in every note, with your suffering and heartbreak becoming part of the recording process itself. How did the intensity of those emotions influence the way you approached creating the song, from the writing stage to the final performance?
John Miller:
The emotions made the process very instinctive. I focused less on perfection and more on preserving the energy of what I was feeling, from the first words to the final performance. I wanted the track to remain raw enough for that emotion to still be heard.
Tehillah:
Rather than drawing inspiration from other artists, Sexy Blueberry comes entirely from your own experiences and memories. What does creating from such a personal place allow you to express that you might not be able to communicate through ordinary conversations?
John Miller:
Music allows me to express emotions without having to explain or defend them. In ordinary conversation, words can feel limited, but in a song, contradiction, silence, love, and pain can all exist at the same time.
Tehillah:
Your approach to music focuses on emotional storytelling and creating a space where listeners can connect with feelings of love, loss, and longing. How do you decide which personal moments are meant to remain private and which ones become part of your artistic expression?
John Miller:
I don’t think every detail needs to be shared. What matters is the emotional truth behind the experience. I keep the most intimate parts private, but if a feeling can become something universal, then it naturally finds its way into the music.
Tehillah:
Looking at your journey as a solo creative force, how has creating music independently shaped your relationship with your art, and what have you discovered about yourself through having complete ownership of your stories and emotions?
John Miller:
Creating independently gives me the freedom to stay completely honest with my vision. It has taught me to trust my instincts, take responsibility for every choice, and understand that my sensitivity can also be a creative strength.
Tehillah:
Sexy Blueberry represents a deeply emotional chapter, but you have also hinted at exploring a more techno-oriented EP in the future. How do you imagine expanding your sound while preserving the emotional honesty and introspective qualities that define your current work?
John Miller:
I’ve produced many singles recently that move between tech house and techno, because I don’t like limiting myself to one genre. I start with an emotion, then translate it into whatever musical language feels right. The sound may change, but the honesty behind it remains the same.
Tehillah:
Every artist experiences moments where personal struggles either become obstacles or sources of inspiration. When you reflect on the pain that created Sexy Blueberry, what lessons has this period taught you about love, loss, and your own ability to keep creating?
John Miller:
It taught me that love can remain meaningful even when a relationship changes, and that loss does not have to become the end of something. It can also become a way to understand yourself, rebuild your self-worth, and keep creating from a deeper and more honest and authentic place.
Tehillah:
Music often gives people a way to express emotions they cannot say aloud. When someone who has experienced heartbreak listens to Sexy Blueberry, what do you hope they feel, understand, or take away from your story?
John Miller:
I hope they feel less alone and understand that heartbreak does not erase the love that existed. Pain can remain part of your story without defining your future, and sometimes creating something from it is already a way of moving forward.
Tehillah:
As you continue developing as an artist and explore new directions beyond this release, what kind of future do you envision for John Miller’s music, and what emotions or stories do you hope to continue bringing into the world?
John Miller:
I see John Miller’s music continuing to evolve without being limited to one genre. I want each release to follow the emotion behind it, whether it leads to house, tech house, techno, acid, or somewhere completely unexpected, while continuing to tell honest stories about love, desire, growth, and the more complex parts of being human.
“Sexy Blueberry reminds us that the emotions we struggle to speak aloud often find their clearest expression through music. By embracing vulnerability without reservation, John Miller transforms deeply personal heartbreak into an experience that allows listeners to reflect on their own stories of love, distance, and healing, proving that honesty remains one of the most powerful creative forces an artist can possess.”
