Early years Born in the New South Wales coastal city of Coffs Harbour, Miller spent her childhood travelling in a caravan with her two brothers, accompanying her parents whose job as screeners for breast cancer took them to remote communities around Australia. The family ultimately settled in Cairns where she finished school and lived until age 17. Performing career Miller became a performer when she was about 20 and described, in an interview, that her "proudest self-devised work includes WunderWagon, a visual anthology starring objects that I created in Papua New Guinea; AC/DC meets Rocky Horror cabaret, If You Want Blood; the dementia dissecting comedic tragedy, Baba; my swing-jazz band Zap, an absurd mixture of sounds and performance". She also mentioned that "I did a terrible audition" for her favorite TV series, Home & Away. At the end of 2012 she moved to Germany and, while living in Berlin, frequently travels around the world with her band Zap, which she describes as "a crazy mixture of swing, jazz music, performance and weird percussion" consisting of "a washboard, megaphone, ukulele, rubber chicken, some tap shoes, a trumpet, two kangaroos and some tzatziki", including her role as "sequined showgirl meets sideshow superstar with a bottomless bag of tricks – whether it be dancing, juggling or throwing confetti".
