Hey Jamie Miller · Hey Jonas!

0:11
Speaker 1: We're on tour now, which is very exciting.
0:12
Speaker 2: It is.
0:12
Speaker 1: We're having a lot of amazing special opening acts. Correct.
0:17
Speaker 2: We are.
0:18
Speaker 1: And just like some highlights from the show. I mean,
0:20
Speaker 1: we didn't do a sound check because we were running
0:23
Speaker 1: a little behind. And we remembered everything. Oh, you mean
0:26
Speaker 1: for the first show? Yeah, for the show. We didn't
0:28
Speaker 1: forget anything.
0:28
Speaker 3: Well, no, we did a sound check at Madison Square
0:30
Speaker 3: Garden for three nights. So that kind of counts. For
0:34
Speaker 3: those that don't know, so the soundboard that we have
0:39
Speaker 3: is digital, which means you put a little USB stick
0:42
Speaker 3: in there.
0:43
Speaker 1: Thumb drive.
0:43
Speaker 3: Pull it out, and when you get to the next city,
0:45
Speaker 3: all you have to do is put that in there,
0:46
Speaker 3: and the whole thing comes to life, and it works
0:48
Speaker 3: and sounds exactly like it did in the last city. Although,
0:51
Speaker 3: what you can't predict is how the audience is going
0:52
Speaker 3: to respond to different moments in the show. And there
0:54
Speaker 3: were some things that I think we've seen just from
0:56
Speaker 3: show to show that are different moments. Like, a highlight
1:00
Speaker 3: for me, which kind of went a little viral, sort
1:02
Speaker 3: of a virus, was when you did the backwards moment
1:05
Speaker 3: down in the crowd. And the person that you sang
1:08
Speaker 3: in front of didn't have their phone up in their face.
1:10
Speaker 1: Or in your face. Either did the people to their
1:12
Speaker 1: left or right, which I just really appreciated. I'm not
1:14
Speaker 1: saying don't use your phone. We're not the kind of
1:16
Speaker 1: bands like... No one use your phone for this next song.
1:19
Speaker 1: We're not that kind of band. Name an artist that
1:22
Speaker 1: does that. Do it. But I would say we don't mind, whatever.
1:27
Speaker 1: We're living in that generation. But it is nice when
1:29
Speaker 1: people are like in the moment because there's been a
1:31
Speaker 1: couple times where I'm like trying to find someone's face
1:33
Speaker 1: to sing to with them and there's just an iPhone
1:35
Speaker 1: light in my eye and it's a little distracting.
1:37
Speaker 2: I get it.
1:38
Speaker 1: It's an exciting moment for some. But I appreciate that
1:41
Speaker 1: you're just locked in. Yes, totally. Hats off to her.
1:44
Speaker 1: My favorite thing so far is that people are starting
1:46
Speaker 1: to get really back into the drum toss. The drumstick toss.
1:50
Speaker 1: Are they? I'm going to be honest. I feel underappreciated.
1:54
Speaker 1: It's a very hard thing to do. It's so difficult.
1:56
Speaker 1: You need to light it on fire. Also, I would
1:58
Speaker 1: make it on fire or freeze one and then surprise Jack.
2:03
Speaker 1: You can wear a glove and he catches a frozen drumstick.
2:06
Speaker 1: Or throw a drumstick like an ice cream drumstick. You
2:09
Speaker 1: get it? All right, let's bring in our next guest.
2:11
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, our opener. Jamie Miller, everybody.
2:15
Speaker 2: Let's go.
2:16
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Angels podcast. Before you walked in, we
2:21
Speaker 1: were singing your praises. Thanks, dude. Man, we are fans.
2:24
Speaker 1: We're so happy for you. Congrats on everything.
2:26
Speaker 2: Thank you.
2:28
Speaker 1: How's it feel for you? I mean, it's like you're
2:30
Speaker 1: being shot out of a rocket ship, huh?
2:31
Speaker 2: Dude, it feels like I brought the song out eight
2:33
Speaker 2: weeks ago. I had no plan for it to be
2:36
Speaker 2: a success.
2:36
Speaker 1: It's only been eight weeks?
2:37
Speaker 2: Eight weeks, yeah.
2:38
Speaker 1: How long before were you teasing it? It's been played
2:39
Speaker 1: every one of those weeks in my house.
2:41
Speaker 2: I was teasing it for about four weeks.
2:43
Speaker 3: Okay.
2:44
Speaker 2: And then it just took on a life of its own.
2:46
Speaker 2: No one really cared about me like nine weeks ago.
2:48
Speaker 2: Now I'm booking like the most insane things in my life.
2:51
Speaker 2: So I'm just very grateful to be here.
2:53
Speaker 1: Let's go. What's been, that sounds like I'm trying to
2:56
Speaker 1: get fishing for an answer, but I promise I'm not.
2:59
Speaker 1: What's been, besides us, The most exciting call or you've
3:02
Speaker 1: seen somebody use a song that you've been like, pinch
3:04
Speaker 1: me moment, like, oh my God.
3:06
Speaker 2: Yesterday, we just went top 10 in the UK. Oh, wow.
3:08
Speaker 1: That's massive.
3:10
Speaker 2: Wow. So that's like, I'm from the UK, so that's
3:12
Speaker 2: like a special moment. I'm from Wales and Cardiff.
3:15
Speaker 1: Okay, great.
3:17
Speaker 2: And then obviously this, coming on tour with you boys.
3:19
Speaker 2: Been such a fan.
3:20
Speaker 1: You were very close with your family.
3:22
Speaker 2: Very close, yeah.
3:22
Speaker 1: And so I think I've seen a couple of videos,
3:25
Speaker 1: every big announcement, every big bit of news, you're calling
3:28
Speaker 1: mom and dad, like, tell me, They must be ecstatic
3:31
Speaker 1: for you at home.
3:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, man. I think for the past, I'll be honest,
3:35
Speaker 2: for the past few years, it's been kind of a
3:36
Speaker 2: rough ride. I feel like, yeah, I think as artists,
3:40
Speaker 2: we go through like these ups and downs unless you're
3:42
Speaker 2: really successful. And even then, but I feel like it
3:45
Speaker 2: was just like a really rough for me. I went
3:46
Speaker 2: through some really personal, really dark personal stuff. So I
3:50
Speaker 2: never really thought I'd come back to music. And then
3:52
Speaker 2: this year, I like at the beginning of the year,
3:54
Speaker 2: I said, this is like my final try. And I
3:57
Speaker 2: went away in February and I wrote my dream album
3:59
Speaker 2: with two of my best friends. And Baby Doll was
4:02
Speaker 2: my first song back after two years. And kind of
4:04
Speaker 2: just like mental how this.
4:06
Speaker 1: Is all happening. Was there something that sparked it for
4:09
Speaker 1: you again? If you don't mind us asking, obviously. That
4:12
Speaker 1: you were like, you know what? I'm going to get
4:14
Speaker 1: back in the studio. I am going to do this.
4:16
Speaker 2: I think I just owed it to myself. I feel
4:18
Speaker 2: like I've had this dream since I was a kid.
4:21
Speaker 2: And all my best friends are like really... having their
4:24
Speaker 2: moments like Alex Warren and all these people and I
4:29
Speaker 2: was like if I want to at least give it
4:30
Speaker 2: one more try and then that way I can say
4:32
Speaker 2: I've tried and then it just baby doll happened and
4:35
Speaker 2: yeah was it.
4:36
Speaker 3: One of those when when you wrote it where you
4:38
Speaker 3: thought okay this this could be it um or did
4:41
Speaker 3: it come out of left field it.
4:43
Speaker 2: Kind of came out of left field if I'm honest
4:44
Speaker 2: I like built my career off sad music I feel
4:47
Speaker 2: like this year. Isn't that the irony? Turns out, people
4:50
Speaker 2: like you happy. But then, I don't know. This year,
4:52
Speaker 2: I've just been in a happy place. It's good to hear.
4:56
Speaker 1: It's incredible. My family, I've played it no less than
5:00
Speaker 1: a billion times. It is a staple in our household.
5:04
Speaker 1: My wife, Danielle, is very disappointed she's not here to
5:07
Speaker 1: see you perform tonight. But there's more shows with you
5:09
Speaker 1: on this tour. So we're so thrilled to have you
5:11
Speaker 1: on this tour. For the listener out there. Jamie's going
5:15
Speaker 1: to be coming out with us for a couple of spots.
5:16
Speaker 1: We're really excited. And again, we've been fans and we're
5:21
Speaker 1: excited to see you do your thing. And we've been
5:22
Speaker 1: following you for a while. I mean, you placed third,
5:26
Speaker 1: is that correct? In the UK, yeah.
5:28
Speaker 2: The Voice. Yeah, I was like 19. And then after
5:31
Speaker 2: that kind of life just took a spin, like Khloe
5:33
Speaker 2: Kardashian found me randomly. I was in an iPad. I
5:36
Speaker 2: was in a call center fixing iPads. And then Khloe
5:39
Speaker 2: Kardashian found me and said that I was a new
5:41
Speaker 2: favorite singer. And then I ended up getting an American
5:43
Speaker 2: record deal. And then life kind of just changed back then.
5:47
Speaker 2: But this is like the real moment where I'm like
5:48
Speaker 2: actually seeing like life fully change.
5:51
Speaker 1: So where do you live now?
5:52
Speaker 2: I live in Los Angeles.
5:53
Speaker 1: Okay. So you made the move.
5:54
Speaker 2: Made the move.
5:55
Speaker 1: Quit the call center.
5:56
Speaker 2: Quit the call center. I was terrible at fixing iPads.
6:00
Speaker 1: What are the tricks? We need to know.
6:01
Speaker 2: There really wasn't any, to be honest. If there was
6:04
Speaker 2: a prompter on the screen and the iPad was still
6:06
Speaker 2: broke by the end of it, like I would just
6:07
Speaker 2: hang up. so i ended up getting fired um yeah yeah.
6:12
Speaker 3: Just like buy a new one yeah but it's so
6:14
Speaker 3: interesting you said about singing sad music because i i
6:17
Speaker 3: first came to know you by way of something popping
6:20
Speaker 3: up in my my feed and i sent it to
6:22
Speaker 3: uh we have a group chat of friends who you
6:25
Speaker 3: know we call it the b flats which is basically
6:27
Speaker 3: i'm out in the group chat name but it's all
6:29
Speaker 3: like music centric stuff and like singer you know type
6:31
Speaker 3: stuff and a lot of musical theater and things like
6:33
Speaker 3: that but you're you're your video ended up on this
6:36
Speaker 3: group chat and everyone's like, Oh yeah, we're all.
6:38
Speaker 1: Over Jamie Miller. We don't, we know about him. Yeah.
6:40
Speaker 1: Last of the party.
6:41
Speaker 3: And then of course, you know, months later, baby doll
6:43
Speaker 3: takes off and becomes what it is. Um, but it's
6:46
Speaker 3: so interesting these moments in life where you're on one
6:48
Speaker 3: path and you think, Oh, I know what's going to
6:51
Speaker 3: work or, you know, succeed. I do finger quotes because
6:54
Speaker 3: you know, you never know.
6:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:56
Speaker 3: Um, and I feel like it's so great when you
6:57
Speaker 3: have those breakthroughs personally and you've mentioned briefly that you're,
7:01
Speaker 3: you're in a great spot. You're feeling at least some
7:03
Speaker 3: sort of ray of sunshine that led you to write
7:06
Speaker 3: this song. And I'm sure among others, but was it, uh, was,
7:10
Speaker 3: was it collaborating with friends that, that allowed you to
7:13
Speaker 3: kind of get to that place?
7:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:15
Speaker 2: I feel like for so long, like I was around
7:17
Speaker 2: people who wanted me to be, if, if a pop
7:20
Speaker 2: boy was working, they wanted me to be that pop boy. Yeah.
7:22
Speaker 2: And I think for so long, I went on tour
7:23
Speaker 2: last year. I did this world tour and I felt
7:26
Speaker 2: so disconnected to my music. Like, even though like, like
7:29
Speaker 2: my fans at the time were like loving it, I
7:31
Speaker 2: just felt so not me.
7:33
Speaker 1: How so?
7:34
Speaker 2: Just, I was, I made a folk album and like,
7:36
Speaker 2: I feel like I grew up on like people like
7:38
Speaker 2: Donny Hathaway and Aretha Franklin and like soul music.
7:41
Speaker 1: You made a departure for.
7:43
Speaker 2: And I, this, this album, I finally just made music
7:45
Speaker 2: I wanted to make.
7:46
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:47
Speaker 2: Fight a few people and just like had fun for
7:50
Speaker 2: the first time.
7:51
Speaker 1: And you're dancing.
7:52
Speaker 3: Dude.
7:53
Speaker 1: And I mean, it's great. It's amazing. We all know
7:55
Speaker 1: the dance. I'm not a good dancer, but you look
7:58
Speaker 1: smooth with it.
7:59
Speaker 3: Was that, was that something that just kind of happened or,
8:01
Speaker 3: or what was the.
8:03
Speaker 1: The history behind this, this dance?
8:05
Speaker 2: Well, I was like, if I'm not going to cut
8:07
Speaker 2: through on my vocals, I have to add something to
8:08
Speaker 2: the mix.
8:09
Speaker 1: I think you cut through.
8:10
Speaker 3: Yeah.
8:11
Speaker 1: Not that.
8:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. I, um, I grew up dancing.
8:14
Speaker 3: Really? Oh, cool.
8:15
Speaker 2: I never, ever put it into my career. And I
8:17
Speaker 2: was like, baby doll just made everybody happy when I,
8:20
Speaker 2: when I started posting online and I was like, I
8:23
Speaker 2: think I can make a dance to this that everybody
8:24
Speaker 2: would want to get behind. Wow. And it just happened.
8:26
Speaker 3: Yeah.
8:27
Speaker 1: Do you do it on your live performance as well?
8:29
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll have to wait and see.
8:31
Speaker 1: Can't wait. While we were walking in, we just drove.

9:45
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that just, that hits you?
9:48
Speaker 2: Dude, just like the unifying people. I feel like the
9:51
Speaker 2: joy that it's bringing people is such a special feeling.
9:53

Speaker 3: You mentioned before that this is kind of your first
10:40
Speaker 3: big arena show. New Hampshire has always been one of
10:43
Speaker 3: our favorite places to play. You know, often these cities
10:46
Speaker 3: that are just an hour or two outside of a
10:48
Speaker 3: big city like Boston get overlooked. We always try to
10:51
Speaker 3: stop in and see our friends here in New Hampshire
10:53
Speaker 3: and other places.
10:54
Speaker 1: And by the way, New Hampshire is having a moment.

10:57
Speaker 1: been interesting. It is the chicken finger capital of the world.

Speaker 1: would like some chicken fingers for after the show. Unintentionally. Unintentionally. Well,
11:10
Speaker 1: we're getting chicken fingers.
11:11
Speaker 3: Given that it's the chicken finger capital of the world.
11:13
Speaker 3: What makes it the chicken finger capital of the world?
11:15
Speaker 3: This is where they make the chicken fingers.
11:16
Speaker 1: The best ones. They make all the chicken fingers? The
11:20
Speaker 1: birthplace of chicken fingers is in Manchester. Okay. Well, we
11:24
Speaker 1: need to get some chicken fingers. Do you eat meat? Yeah.
11:27
Speaker 1: Then you got to try some chicken. Oh, I'm actually
11:29
Speaker 1: curious because you said, you know, fellow vocalists here.

Speaker 2: Yeah but um i'm learning to live with it but.
12:02
Speaker 1: For those of man okay so what does that what
12:05
Speaker 1: does that entail for the For the warm voice up
12:07
Speaker 1: of the show?
12:08
Speaker 2: Like vocal warm ups and then drink a lot of
12:11
Speaker 2: hot tea. I'm just trying to avoid surgery right now
12:14
Speaker 2: and it's going back. But like when I speak, it's
12:17
Speaker 2: just a little bit raspy.
12:19
Speaker 1: It's good though. It's good for interviews. It sounds good.
12:22
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I'll take it.
12:23
Speaker 1: So Joe, you have a pretty extensive vocal warm ups,
12:26
Speaker 1: about an hour, right? Oh, wow. I used to. You
12:30
Speaker 1: used to do it. I used to just go for
12:33
Speaker 1: it and not really think.
12:34
Speaker 2: It was.
12:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Quite unhealthy. It was like the DNC tour
12:38
Speaker 1: days consisted of pretty much Jimmy and Coca-Cola and a
12:43
Speaker 1: lot of chicken fingers and french fries, and then we
12:44
Speaker 1: just go on stage. Whoa. And I think once I
12:48
Speaker 1: got to 30, I was like, I don't know if
12:50
Speaker 1: I'll be able to survive this. And a couple shows

Speaker 3: that we should have one of these shows that you're
13:54
Speaker 3: with us on. We should have you jump up and
13:55
Speaker 3: do What A Man Gotta Do With Us. I feel
13:56
Speaker 3: like your voice on that track would be a vibe.
13:59
Speaker 2: I'm in.
14:00
Speaker 3: Then we'll just re-release it after re-release it let's go
14:03
Speaker 3: so my vocal warm ups well I am drinking coffee
14:05
Speaker 3: I was off coffee for a minute it's been kind
14:07
Speaker 3: of an ongoing thing but I'm now cutting it with
14:10
Speaker 3: almond milk which is helping almond breeze to be in
14:12
Speaker 3: fact breezy get breezy and I find that coffee doesn't
14:17
Speaker 3: affect me so much singing but I have to start
14:19
Speaker 3: singing in the shower in the morning and I just
14:21
Speaker 3: kind of keep singing throughout.
14:22
Speaker 2: The day do you guys lower your keys when you
14:24
Speaker 2: go live.
14:26
Speaker 3: Certain songs there's a couple that we have to I
14:28
Speaker 3: mean some of the songs that We play in this set,
14:30
Speaker 3: you know, my voice was still.
14:31
Speaker 1: He was like 14 when he was recording.
14:34
Speaker 3: So it's much more comfortable now than it was then
14:37
Speaker 3: singing through a vocal change. You were 19 when you
14:39
Speaker 3: did The Voice?
14:40
Speaker 2: 19, yeah. Nothing really took off until like a few
14:43
Speaker 2: years ago though.
14:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:44
Speaker 2: Like kind of, not really.
14:46
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy The Voice experience? It was a great experience.
14:49
Speaker 2: I mean, it was like my first time singing like
14:50
Speaker 2: in front of people. Like before I did The Voice,
14:52
Speaker 2: I never even sang in front of my family.
14:54
Speaker 1: Really?
14:54
Speaker 2: Like I was just like a very like nervous kid.
14:56
Speaker 1: Did they... obviously then you said, I'm going to go
14:59
Speaker 1: on The Voice. And were they shocked?
15:01
Speaker 2: I just wanted to leave the call center, dude.
15:02
Speaker 1: Yeah. Get out of that call center.
15:03
Speaker 2: My mom, no offense, but like my mom, my mom
15:06
Speaker 2: signed me up for it and then ended up coming third.
15:09
Speaker 2: And then it was kind of just like the beginning
15:10
Speaker 2: of everything. So I look back and like, and I smile.
15:12
Speaker 2: Thanks mom. Yeah. Thanks mom. But she was, but just
15:16
Speaker 2: like The Voice in general, it was like a amazing
15:18
Speaker 2: stepping stone to the life I have right now. So
15:21
Speaker 2: I always look back and smile.
15:23
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's so cool. That's great. Well, Joe's currently, you're coaching,
15:28
Speaker 1: The coming season. Yeah. It's the voice celebrity.
15:31
Speaker 2: What do you mean the voice celebrity?
15:33
Speaker 1: It's celebrities singing instead of anyone singing.
15:37
Speaker 3: Wow.
15:38
Speaker 2: And you're one of the coaches?
15:40
Speaker 1: I'm one of the coaches, yeah. You know, I wasn't sure,
15:44
Speaker 1: and then the first person the chair turns for, I
15:46
Speaker 1: was like, oh, my God. Like, the names they got
15:49
Speaker 1: were really impressive. Wow. My team's kind of stacked, so
15:52
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it.
15:53
Speaker 3: What would be amazing is, because it's never happened, as
15:55
Speaker 3: far as I know, at least in the U.K. and
15:57
Speaker 3: the U.S., is that someone that was a contestant on
16:00
Speaker 3: The Voice could then go on to be a coach.
16:02
Speaker 3: And I'm wishing that for you. That would be, I
16:05
Speaker 3: should see that.
16:05
Speaker 2: I did The Voice, I.
16:07
Speaker 1: Don't know, five or six years ago as a coach
16:08
Speaker 1: for two seasons. It's a great experience. I think you'd
16:10
Speaker 1: love it. And it would be so cool to see
16:11
Speaker 1: the full circle.
16:12
Speaker 2: Dude, you have high hopes for me. I appreciate it.
16:14
Speaker 2: I do.
16:15
Speaker 3: Listen, as we've mentioned now three or four times, we're
16:17
Speaker 3: big fans, but we also, we're so excited that, you know,
16:21
Speaker 3: you tapped into something that, you said the word unifies people,
16:25
Speaker 3: and that's what we're all about. You know, we look
16:27
Speaker 3: at our shows now and we think about the fact
16:28
Speaker 3: that there's, you know, people that were our age coming
16:32
Speaker 3: to shows back, you know, 18, 19 years ago who
16:35
Speaker 3: still want to come and want to bring their kids.
16:37
Speaker 3: And the parents who brought them back in the day
16:39
Speaker 3: still want to come. There's nothing better than being able
16:41
Speaker 3: to see people together having a shared experience that brings
16:44
Speaker 3: them joy. And it's no surprise that the song connected
16:48
Speaker 3: because it's a smash.
16:49
Speaker 1: Thanks, dude.
16:49
Speaker 3: I wish we had it. But, you know, the fact
16:52
Speaker 3: that it's... pure in that your intention was to bring
16:55
Speaker 3: people together.
16:56
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing.
16:56
Speaker 3: So we're rooting for you and we're glad you're on
16:58
Speaker 3: these shows and hopefully more to come.
17:01
Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
17:01
Speaker 2: And by the way, Listen When Sad is going to
17:03
Speaker 2: be like my Spotify top. Oh. 100%. Thanks, man.
17:06
Speaker 1: It's my favorite song. And Jacob Vocal Warm Up Academy. Listen,
17:11
Speaker 1: you have to go on stage here pretty soon. Yeah,
17:12
Speaker 1: we're going to let you go. But before he goes,
17:14
Speaker 1: before he goes, Nick, there's a little something next to you.
17:16
Speaker 2: The bowl.
17:16
Speaker 1: Oh, the bowl.
17:17
Speaker 2: The bowl.
17:17
Speaker 1: How could I forget the bowl? Yeah.
17:18
Speaker 2: I go in?
17:19
Speaker 1: If you'd like to, it's a random question. It doesn't
17:21
Speaker 1: bite too hard.
17:22
Speaker 2: Which is worse? Stepping in something wet with socks on
17:25
Speaker 2: or getting a sleeve wet while washing your hands.
17:29
Speaker 1: Or getting what? Getting your sleeve wet.
17:32
Speaker 2: Sleeve wet while washing your hands. I would say stepping
17:33
Speaker 2: in something wet with socks on.
17:35
Speaker 1: It happened to me at lunch before. Takes longer to dry.
17:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of an ick.
17:39
Speaker 3: It's just because then you can't really get away from it.
17:41
Speaker 3: You can push your sleeve up. You can't push your
17:43
Speaker 3: sock up. Yeah, 100%.
17:44
Speaker 1: And you just take them off and your sock lifts.
17:46
Speaker 1: If I've said it once. Then it's just an ankle warmer.
17:51
Speaker 3: All right.
17:52
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Have a great show.
17:53
Speaker 2: Looking forward to seeing your set.
