Anthony Mills

Anthony Mills is a unique character, and a country artist like it or not. He is a great-grandchild of the industrial revolution and is a storyteller with his music. Raised in Akron, Ohio by way of Louisiana, he spent the formative years of his musical career as a hip-hop artist and producer. Somewhere along the road, Anthony felt that he needed to tell the stories of his heritage – from his French-Creole grandmother to the blue-collar great-grandparents who laid their roots in the factories of Akron, Flint and Detroit. Drawing on traditional plantation song storytelling as well as more contemporary influences, Anthony Mills channels the complex inertia of the Deep South.
