Daniel Miller Biography

Daniel Miller is one of the most popular and richest Music Producer who was born on February 14, 1951 in England, England, United Kingdom. Perhaps better known by his professional name of “The Normal,” this electronic, new wave, and post-punk producer and disc jockey founded an English music label known as Mute Records.

He once toured with vocalist Jake Burns and other members of the Northern Irish punk band Stiff Little Fingers.

Miller first became interested in synthesizer music at the Guildford School of Art (now University for the Creative Arts), where he studied film and television from 1969 to 1972. By the end of the sixties he had become frustrated with rock music due to the lack of experimentation. Around this time he was discovering the sound of German bands like Can, Faust, Neu! and Kraftwerk. These bands were creating new sounds, something Miller wanted to hear. He worked as a DJ in Switzerland for a while before returning to England at the height of punk. He began listening to punk because of the energy and excitement of the music. He liked the do-it-yourself attitude that came with the style of music and later spilled over into the electronic music scene. Synthesizers were becoming cheaper to buy and new bands were appearing such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. This inspired Miller to create his own music. Making some money from film editing and working long hours he gathered enough money to buy a cheap Korg 700S synthesizer and a TEAC four-track reel- to-reel tape recorder. This led to the creation of The Normal.

After returning from a live tour Miller found a pile of demo tapes on his doorstep. Because he had included an address on the ‘Warm Leatherette’ single cover people had wanted to do a similar small-scale deal with Mute. The turning point for Mute Records came when Miller listened to a tape by an artist called Fad Gadget and liked what he heard. In 1979 Mute Records began releasing singles by Fad Gadget including ‘Back to Nature’, the follow-up to ‘Warm Leatherette’. Miller ran the label from his North-West London flat.

He was born and raised in London, England.
