Illenium - The American Legend
Illenium – Life, inspiration, ASHES album-

Illenium a.k.a Nicholas D. Miller was born in Chicago, Illinois. So, now you can know where the name Illenium originate! He got inspired by Bassnectar, watching him perform at the Red Rocks, in 2008, made him shift his focus to music the very next day. He made his debut in 2013.

He rose to fame after releasing his first album ‘Ashes’ in 2016, under Mr. Suicide Sheep Label. The record broke the Billboard dance chart with #6 and #19 in the Billboard top Hotseekers chart which aims at the new developing electronic music artists.

He began his first-ever tour with his album release – ASHES tour in 2016.

  • Also stated that his dream collab would be with Porter Robinson, who is famous for his massive hit ‘Shelter.’
  • He has worked as a waiter, a delivery boy and a couple of other midget jobs before music took speed.
  • Miller adds that his parents were super supportive and provided for him when he changed multiple colleges. He was into Business studies, communication schools, and music schools too; but he feels that the education system sucks. Plus he never graduated!
  • “Take You Down,” his 2018 single, is about his drug addiction in the past. He posted on social media to share with his fans, his and his family’s struggles. He declared that his journey through drug addiction motivated the track.
  • Apart from music, he has a craze for movies and loves hanging out with his girlfriend and friends, i.e., his team.
