Channing Miller

Early Life and College
Channing Miller was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. Growing up young Channing was an avid country music fan and tried to catch as many shows at the Grand Ole Opry as much as possible. When Channing was fifteen years old he had decided to be a musician. When he wasn't in school Channing would sit on the street and play his acoustic guitar for passer-buyers on the street. When he was seventeen years old Channing decided to go to Tennessee State for Lower Level Education.

While Channing was in his freshmen year at Tennessee State, he met a beautiful young woman named Marisha Goodwin. Marisha and Channing became close friends. One night after a Tennessee State Pep Rally, Marisha was beaten by her boyfriend Jesse King, the star quarterback for the football team. Blind with rage Channing attacked Jesse and threw him out the second story window of his fraternity house. After a lengthy investigation Channing was found guilty of assault and suspended from the school for one year. During his time away from school Marisha and Channing became close and eventually became lovers and than a couple.When Channing came back in his sophmore year he had a verbal altercation with Jesse. Instead of getting into a physical fight with him, Channing turned and walked away. As Jesse sped away from Channing's apartment a stray drunk driver came out of nowhere and destroyed his car. Channing ran to help Jesse and pulled him out of the car in time to get him to safety. Jesse was taken to the Nashville General Hospital. Jesse was in bad shape throughout his stay in the hospital, but Channing came by every day to visit. Eventually the two men became best friends.

When Jesse was released from the hospital, he was paralyzed from the waist down. Channing felt extremely guilty because he felt responsible. Even though Jesse was paralyzed he did not let anything slow him down. Channing and Jesse worked hard and with Marisha, the three friends graduated from Tennessee State with Bachelor degrees in their respective fields. Soon after graduation Marisha informed Channing she was pregnant with their first child.

First Child and Music
Shortly after Marisha had informed Channing she was pregnant, he asked her to marry him. The wedding was held in the spring of the following fall with Jesse as Channing's Best Man and Jesse's sister Linda as Marisha's Maid of Honor. Also during the wedding Jesse met and fell in love with Channing's cousin,? the lovely and beautiful Jessica Parker. Channing and Marisha were extremely happy as both were bound for the rest of their lives in wheelchairs. Jesse and Marisha honeymooned in Canada at the Niagara Falls Canadian side. After the lovely honeymoon the two newlyweds returned home to Tennessee and began their lives together.

Shortly after Marisha gave birth to her and Channing's first child, a daughter named Annabelle. She was the most beautiful little girl in the whole world. For two years Channing worked his hands to the bone supporting his wife and child. Long hours at the local lumber yard were not cutting it. One night while Channing's mother and father babysat young Annabelle, Channing, Jesse, Marisha and Jessica went to a local bar for open mic and karaoke night.Channing went on stage and sang a karaoke version of Butterfly Kisses. A local music scout heard Channing sing and was extremely impressed. As the two spoke over drinks, Marisha and Jessica played pool against Jesse. As their conversation ended Channing returned to the small party. Excited with the news he informed his new bride and best friend that he needed to write a song and co a demo.

Two weeks later Channing was sitting in the recording studio. Marisha had come along and supported her husband. As he sang the song titled "Annabelle", the recording producer was highly impressed. The recording went well and Channing was asked to write ten more songs for a full CD. Ecstatic Marisha and Channing hurried home and began working on songs. After the entire CD was finished, Channing and his wife embarked on a small tour across Tennessee and Kentucky to promote their album. Young Annabelle was brought out on stage whenever Channing sang her song and the crowd grew to love the country boy with a heart of gold. Six months after Channing released his debut album entitled "Country Boy" he hit Diamond status. On the same night Marisha informed him she was once again pregnant.

Two of a Kind and Diamonds
After his local tour and promotion of his debut album, Channing and Marisha took time off from the road to recharge their batteries and to keep Annabelle in a nice enviroment for a while. During the time off Channing wrote twenty more songs and spent all the time he could with his wife and daughter. When it came to find out what the gender of the baby was supposed to be, Channing was shocked when he found out his wife was pregnant with twin girls.Channing told his label he was taking off the remaining four months of his wife's pregnancy so he could be there when his daughters were born. Grudgingly his label agreed and Channing was home in time to see his twin daughters Rory and Saige be born.
