Surfing, snowboarding, skating &#8211; sports to the extreme. She collects feathers, precious stones and dream catchers while travelling &#8211; she stops at festivals and sells fine jewellery she&#8217;s made from these things, and plays her music. Not only does her jewellery become popular, but so does her music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although only 5&#8217;1&#8243; tall, Millie packs a punch with her acoustic guitar, harmony looping pedals, electronic kick drum and enchanting voice. She&#8217;s been performing since she was 13 &#8211; now 20 and back in her home town of Southampton,\u00a0her debut single, &#8216;Spanner in the Works&#8217; peaked\u00a0at No. 13 on the iTunes Singer\/Songwriter charts. Her influences include George Ezra, Ben Howard, Ed Sheeran, as well as Bon Iver and Kate Nash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A self-confessed adrenaline junkie, Millie is a regular performer for &#8216;Taking The Piste&#8217; in the French Alps. She also loves vintage clothes, and her feather jewellery is a regular fixture at festivals in the US and UK. She&#8217;s supported Loveable Rogues, Misty Miller &amp; Tom Baxter on tour &#8211; and co-written with the likes of Massive Attack&#8217;s Dan Brown, Dan Smith (The Noisettes), and Nina Schofield.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just Millie is about to release a double A side single, &#8216;Lanterns\/Not OK&#8217; on Groovefinder Records. Due out on July 24, it&#8217;s an homage to believing in the power to succeed, of being determined, of beating the odds &#8211; of going against the grain and proving the naysayers wrong. Whoever she is, she&#8217;s Just Millie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Just Millie on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/@justmilliemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/justmilliemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/justmilliemusic\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and her official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justmillie.co.uk\/home\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.
