Miller will report to Chief Operating Officer Ben Patterson.
Based in Austin, Texas, Miller will oversee the company’s global artist and label-facing Client Services Team, with a remit to “make the process of releasing and promoting music as successful and simple as possible for creators and teams”, says Downtown.
Miller’s career in music distribution began as a metadata specialist at Octiive Distribution, formerly Mondotunes, before joining Downtown’s CD Baby in 2017 as an Artist Representative.
At CD Baby, he rose to manage CD Baby’s Creator Services team.
There, he was responsible for the company’s roster of marquee artists and priority content, before transitioning to Downtown Music Services in 2021.
In addition, Los Angeles-based David Labovitch has been promoted to Content Operations Manager, reporting to Kasey Fries, who was promoted to the role of Vice President of Operations in November 2021.
