Darcie Miner

about

Darcie Miner probably started singing as soon as she could talk. Thanks to her dad, she gained a very early knowledge and appreciation of the history of rock and roll while being exposed to a diverse range of musical styles – classic rock, R&B and even metal. Darcie started playing guitar at age 11 and made her first rather inauspicious debut performance at 13. In her own words, "I was so bad then." It didn't take long to develop an emerging talent, however. Under the direction of The Badlees' Brett Alexander, Darcie made her recording debut. Although it may not exactly have been the record SHE wanted to make, it still made a very strong impression. Conventional wisdom followed that "in order to get a record deal you need a band." At age 16, she had formed her band and a deal with Beyond Music/Universal Distribution soon followed. Darcie began to live the life of the touring musician, traveling up and down the East Coast in a mini-bus before she even had her own drivers license. The band opened for Beyond Music label mates The Go-Go's and Heart, performing in venues packed to the thousands. They immediately began working on a record. Like many other artists, Darcie soon discovered that the elusive record deal is a somewhat mixed blessing. Halfway through the recording process, something just didn't seem right. Label money stopped coming in and eventually everything was put on hold. Darcie left Beyond Music, and the label folded soon after. Left with only 6 songs ful
