Steven Haworth Miller (born 1943) is an American musician. He is the founder and only remaining original member of the Steve Miller Band, which he established in 1966. Miller is the principal songwriter, lead singer, harmonica player, keyboardist, and one of the guitarists.
He inherited his musical talent from his parents and received encouragement from his godfather, the famous guitarist Les Paul. From a young age, he developed a deep understanding of blues and jazz through interactions with various musicians, which contributed to his strong business acumen in the music industry.
Starting with the 1968 release of "Children of the Future," Steve Miller Band explored psychedelic blues style and established itself within the San Francisco music scene. In the mid-1970s, they achieved commercial success with hits like "The Joker," "Fly Like an Eagle," and "Abracadabra," with "The Joker" notably reaching number one on the Billboard charts.
Miller has been married four times, and his current wife is Janice Ginsberg Miller.
His ownership of the historic Lippincott-Wagner House and a 420-acre ranch in Williams, Oregon, is also an important part of his life. In 2015, this house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

"Abracadabra" is a song written and composed by Steve Miller, and it is the biggest hit of his career. The song is said to have been inspired by the singer Diana Ross, whom Miller met while performing on the pop music TV show 'Hullabaloo' in the 1960s. Upon its release, Billboard emphasized that the song "mixes sly lyrics, soulful vocals, and Miller's guitar wizardry."
The song became a worldwide hit, reaching number one in 6 countries. In the U.S. it was released as a 45 RPM single, selling over a million copies and reaching number one on two separate occasions.
