Dominic Miller is an Argentine-English guitarist.

Born in Buenos Aires in 1960, he spent the first ten years of his life growing up in Argentina before embarking on a journey northwards to Wisconsin, North America, moving again to London, England two years later. Coming from a musical family, Miller was playing guitar seriously by age 11. He studied at Boston's Berklee College of Music, as well as with Sebastiao Tapajos and notably at London's Guildhall School of Music.

After touring and recording with World Party in the 1980's, he appeared as a member of King Swamp and later on Phil Collins' solo album, ...But Seriously. He later appeared as a guitarist on recordings by Sting, and has gone on to work on every Sting album and tour since 1990. He has co-written many notable songs with Sting including 'Shape of My Heart' which was also a hit for Craig David and The Sugababes.

Miller tours solo and has released several solo guitar albums. His first album, First Touch, was released in 1995, followed by Second Nature (1999), and New Dawn (2002). His most recent studio album, Third World, was released in 2004.

During 2003, the album Shapes was released, in the UK initially, featuring interpretations of classical pieces by composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Elgar and Albinoni. Shapes was released globally in March 2004 with a revised track layout. The combined global sales are in excess of 100,000.

Miller's recording and interpretation of Albinoni's "Adagio in G minor" conforms to the current conventional interpretations of that piece, and has previously been interpreted in a similar manner by Swedish neoclassical guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. The theme also appears in the film Gallipoli starring Mel Gibson.

Current events

As of 2006, Miller is composing his new awaited album, Fourth Wall. He resides in London, UK.
