Fast-emerging singer/songwriter Lisa Dawn Miller - also the daughter of late famed Motown songwriter Ron Miller - is releasing an EP comprised of four infectious Deep House remixes to original songs, all written and produced by Lisa and her songwriting partner and sonic master, Mark Matson. The compilation entitled, 'Lisa Dawn Miller: Remixed,' is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and other major digital retail outlets. A fifth, extended-play, DJ remix is being released exclusively on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5uz9Z4OHkM).

The new EP is an exciting new venture outside of Lisa's collection of powerful, emotionally-charged ballads, including the recently released singles, "It's Time" and "This Is the Moment" also available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.

"I've always been known as a ballad singer but when your songwriting and producing partner, who by the way, is an amazing collaborator, co-producer and arranger on all of my ballads, also happens to be the most incredible re-mixer/DJ of Deep House, Glitch-Pop and Big Room dance mixes, it opens up a whole new world. It's really exciting because I have always loved dance music. I love that whole scene!"

Lisa made her debut as a singer-songwriter in 2016 with her original EPs 'Hello You,' and 'My Turn Begins Today,' - the long awaited follow-up recordings to her first independent album 'Fly Away' more than 10 years ago.

Lisa is the Executive Producer and co-star of the long-running musical "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show" (with her husband and co-star, Sandy Hackett son of legendary comedian, Buddy Hackett). Due to her demanding schedule, Lisa put her own music career on hold for several years until 2015, when she and Matson penned the high-energy dance songs, "Slay," "Let's Go" and "Can You Feel It" for Lisa's 11-year-old daughter, Ashleigh Hackett. During this process, Lisa discovered her passion for writing and began to build momentum as a songwriter and began to pursue her own material.

She and Matson also penned the inspiring ballad, "Today," in 2016 to honor mothers everywhere. She teamed with her son, 16-year-old actor/singer Oliver Richman, to record the song, marking the artists' first-ever vocal collaboration.

Lisa and Matson also produced Oliver on "Will I Still Be Me," his grandfather's poignant song, which was written before Miller's passing in 2007. Oliver has also released several recordings produced by Miller and Matson including his grandfather's classic, "For Once in My Life - The 50th Anniversary Release," Bruno Mars' "Count On Me," "Believe," penned by Lisa & Matson, Kenny Loggins' "Celebrate Me Home," Stevie Wonder's "Everyone's a Kid at Christmas Time," penned by his grandparents, Ron and Aurora Miller, and the Tears For Fears classic, "Mad World." At 10 years old, Oliver was invited by Stevie Wonder (www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJQ76kCxdfU) to share the stage for his annual House Full of Toys concert at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles where he received a standing ovation from an audience of over 7,500 people.

Continuing the legacy of her beloved father, Ron Miller, Lisa is currently developing a new film and musical entitled, "For Once In My Life," along with a new album release of the never-before-heard songs from Miller's incredible song catalogue. Lisa recently established the Ron Miller Songbook Publishing Company, where she plans to publish his never-before-heard gems, a comprehensive publishing website is expected to be released this summer.

Lisa also has other projects in the works, including the newly announced musical comedy, "Mandropause," a unique show about four men going through the change of life. "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show" begins its annual Broadway tour this fall and is expected, once again, to perform at numerous performing arts centers across the nation in 2018.
