Biography
Ryan was born November 21, 1972 in Lubbock, Texas to Ross and Cookie Miller. He grew up as an only child and was raised in Richardson, Texas, graduating from Berkner High School in 1991,[1] where he had his own band, the Silents.
He majored in religious studies at Tufts University and graduated with a bachelor of arts in 1995.[2] He has since pursued a full-time career in music. Guster was formed when Miller met bandmates Adam Gardner and Brian Rosenworcel while the three were freshmen at Tufts University in August 1991,[3] a few years later, they met bandmate Joe Pisapia.
Miller is co-writer, with director Rob Perez, of the 2009 movie Nobody.[4] Miller also contributed songs to the movie's soundtrack.[5]
Miller composed the film scores for the movies Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), The Kings of Summer (2013), and In a World... (2013).
Miller moved from New York to Vermont. He hosts a TV series on Vermont PBS called Makin' Friends with Ryan Miller in which he travels around the state making friends with "high functioning weirdos". [6]
