RISING STAR DJ MILLER DISCUSSES SIGNIFICANCE OF “INK ON MY SKIN”
RELEASES SPECIAL ALBUM CUT AND ACOUSTIC VIDEO IN MEMORY OF GOOD FRIEND WHO LOST HIS LIFE IN A CAR ACCIDENT AT THE AGE OF 17
Nashville, TN (July 17, 2012) – DJ Miller is often asked the
meaning of his tattoo inked on the inside of his right arm. A.M.W.
6-6-89-10-7-06. Those three letters and dates play a vital role in the
release of Miller’s special album cut, “Ink On My Skin.” The emotional
ballad co-written by Miller, Charlie Black, Don Goodman and Jon Conley
is being made available on iTunes this week in honor of Miller’s good
friend, Adam Michael Williams, who lost his life to an easily
preventable automobile accident when he was 17. Miller dealt with his
grief by immediately going out and having his buddy’s initials inked on
his skin as a way to keep him close.

“I am privileged to have this opportunity to share this song in
Adam’s honor,” says DJ Miller. “He was a great friend who lost his life
way too early in a car accident. I’m on a mission to make all young
driver’s realize that they are only human and can die or be seriously
injured in a split second due to the choices they make whether it’s
speeding, choosing not to wear a seatbelt or texting. Hopefully by
sharing my very personal experience others will stop and think before
getting behind the wheel. It may sound trite, but if we can save the
life of one young driver through the words of this song, Adam’s legacy
will live on in a very positive light.”
