Johnny Young Drone CD

I got a drum set at the age of 2 and that's when I decided to play music. My first record was Kiss Alive!! and Styx at the age of 5. I then started listening to my parent's old records of Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty as well as the Beatles and Fats Domino and that is when I started beating on my dad's piano.

At the age of 8, I got an Elvis Christmas album, Ac/Dc back in Black and Hank Jr. I used to listen to George Jones in my Grandpa's truck when I was little also.

My musical desires became stronger and started playing guitar at the age of 9. One of my first concerts was Van Halen and when I saw Eddie Van Halen jumping around that's when I knew I wanted to play music as a career. I then played guitar in some rock bands as a teen started listening to artist like Lynrd Skynrd, Guns n Roses & George Strait.

I went for my dreams when an opportunity arose and moved to Texas at the age of 18 to be in a band that had a record deal. I've played on the same stages with many well known artists such as the Nixons, Alice Cooper, Pantera, Travis Tritt & Tanya Tucker.

The band eventually split up and my true love for country music happened when I got the chance to see George Strait and Garth Brooks sellout at the Texas Stadium. That's when I decided to start singing. My cajun accent developed into a little southern drawl from living there but didn't think that was too happening to sing rock n roll music therefore, I began singing country.

The Lord used Clint's father, George Miller, to impart these valuable gifts to his son. Before Clint was born, his 21 year old father lost his left arm in a farming accident. Still, Clint never forgot his father's life long determination to provide for his family. Just 11 days after the tragic accident, George Miller was back home working on his farm. George had a wife and at that time one child at home that he needed to provide for and he would not let them down. George and his wife had seven more children and Clint was the youngest in the family. The perseverance to overcome adversity that Clint saw in his father impacted his entire life.

Clint was born in Wessington Springs, South Dakota in 1949, but when he was 7 the family moved to Los Angles, California. George Miller worked until he had saved enough money to open his own business. In no time , the entire family was working at Miller's Service Station and Garage in Santa Monica. God blessed the business and in time the Miller station expanded into several locations.

As a teenager Clint developed a love for music. In his ninth year of school, he entered the Hollywood Professional School full time and graduated with honors including the President's Award and the Gold Key Award.

From there, Clint became an honor student at the highly prestigious Don Martin School of Radio and Television and signed with VMC Records and the Charles Stern Advertising Agency.

Clint released many original songs with VMC Records. He also performed on many commercials for Charles Stern. It was during this time in his life when he met and developed friendships with many stars of the day including Charlton Heston, Glen Ford, Kenny Rogers, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. Clint also stared and toured with the musical comedies Hoop & Holla and Oklahoma.
