Who is Illenium?

Nick Miller's 10-year run as dance producer Illenium has been nothing short of extraordinary. From humble bass beginnings, he has gone on to receive widespread critical acclaim and massive streaming numbers with chart-topping crossover success. Nick has built strong bonds with his audience who support his music; you can feel this at every one of his shows where audiences both party hard while also shed tears of emotion during each set.

Illenium's music is a cinematic blend of electronic beats, lush vocals and emotive acoustic moments, often depicting intimate themes such as love, heartbreak and anger rather than generic dance refrains about raising your hands up. His aesthetic has earned him global acclaim - including becoming 2019's highest selling EDM artist after selling over 250,000 tickets for his ASCEND tour and filling arenas, stadiums and amphitheaters that few acts can access in this genre.

But beneath his iconic phoenix symbol is an emotional truth: addiction. Miller spent much of the first years of his career struggling with substance abuse issues; something which was openly discussed when releasing the first single off his 2018 album 'Ascend'.

Now, the Denver-based producer is focused on his recovery. Partnering with nonprofit End Overdose on his tour and training attendees to administer naloxone - the drug which reverses an opioid overdose - he's also brought along his entire band (complete with drummer, guitarist and string instrumentalist), so venues must accommodate more live rock sounding sounds for this tour.

Miller, known by his real name Nicholas D. Miller, is in Los Angeles for the final night of his ASCEND tour. Dressed casually in a backwards baseball cap and tie-dye hoodie he exudes an easygoing vibe while we chat in his home; yet quickly shifts into serious mode when discussing forthcoming performances or his relationship with fans.

He describes how he's made it a point to frequent restaurants frequented by his fans and about some of the craziest shows he's played, while also emphasizing the significance of having an understanding and supportive family in this business.

Illenium is currently one of the most underrated DJs out there. His music has great meaning to it and I believe he will continue his rise to popularity - I see him becoming Marshmello or KSHMR's successor! With melodic bass and future bass like no one else out there right now he should become one of this year's must-see concert performers.
