Hutson Miller’s experience reaches all facets of the entertainment industry. At the age of 14, Miller brokered his first deal with his life mentor, Los Angeles Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss; and by the ripe age of 20, Miller was working on such films as My Left Foot, Tie Me Up Tie Me Down, Heart Condition, Forrest Gump just to name a few. He’s also worked with A-List talent such as Tom Cruise, Candace Bergen, Jasmine Guy, Timothy Busfield, Gregory Hines and many others at PMK Public Relations. In 1992, along with former film studio executive, Jeff Freedman, Miller launched ESPR (now FSPR), the very first Entertainment Sports Public Relations and Marketing Company, where he represented high profile NFL star athletes such as Terrence Mathis, Rob Moore, Keith Jackson, Patrick Bates, Adrian Murrell and many others. Later, Miller would expand his career into film and television as director of development for Sons of Thunder Productions, where he was involved in projects through a development deal at Columbia Television. After a success in television, EMI was in search of an executive to manage the film/soundtrack division; having experience in both industries, Miller was the perfect candidate. He oversaw the music for film/ television careers of songwriters like Sean Puffy Combs, Alicia Keys, Rodney Jerkins, Pharrell Williams, Jerry Wonder, NEXT, and Matchbox 20, and Luther Vandross. Miller secured attachments including Godzilla (Sony Pictures) with P. Diddy and Jay Z with Martin Lawrence’s film Blue Streak. Miller was also instrumental in attaching Grammy Award Winning producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as first time film composers for How Stella Got Her Groove Back for FOX Features, starring Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs. Miller served as associate producer on the Atlantic Records soundtrack to Eddie Murphy’s Dr. Dolittle, where the hit song, “Are You That Somebody” produced by Timbaland for the late Aaliyah which later sold more than 10 million records worldwide. Miller negotiated songs to be placed on other films like You’ve Got Mail, The Wood, Belly, Message in a Bottle, There’s Something About Mary, Big Momma’s House, etc. Atlantic Records CEO, Craig Kallman, then called upon Miller to oversee the music careers of Sunshine Anderson, Ray J, Brandy, Lil Kim and many others. Each of those talents looked for Miller to secure film and TV opportunities during that time as well. Brandy became a house hold name as she continued her TV career on the hit show, MOESHA that was the catapult to her music career. Hit music producer, Rodney Jerkins gave her the biggest crossover pop breakout record, The Boy is Mine in her career that later sold over 8 millions albums. Ray J, Brandy’s brother, had his breakout record for Wait a Minute featuring Lil Kim, a song Miller handpicked from another hit producer, Pharrell Williams. Wait a Minute according to Billboard became one of the most played singles in 2002. Ray J later became a household name after the success of that song. A year later, it was said that Lil Kim could not make a comeback of her own but when Miller put she and Grammy Award winning Producer Timbaland together, Lil Kim’s smash hit, “Jumpoff” hit the airwaves fast and the critics embraced her again with open arms. While at Atlantic, Miller was responsible for more than 25 million album sells worldwide. After a long career in the music business, Miller decided to launch his music supervision company Eye4Music, as well as return back to the TV and Film business as he started his own management and production company, Collective Group Entertainment, Inc. in 2003. At CGE, Inc., Miller represented many hot young actors, screenplay writers and directors. Miller produced a TV pilot, Oil & Water that was based on one of his client’s hobby. Miller also produced music videos for his client, Christian Strickland that has directed over 30 videos and 3 films. In 2008, Miller executive produced a 10-city musical, The Greatest Love Story Ever Told that traveled the country and starred many renown actors. Also under his management umbrella, Miller managed Grammy Award winning producer, Devante Swing, who’s written and produced over 70 artists including his own group, Jodeci. Collectively, Devante as a producer, writer and artist has sold over 100 million album sells. Independently, Miller has his mind set on continuing being a leader in entertainment for many years to come. Miller is thrilled for the opportunity to utilize his unique passion and ability to bring both diverse people and ideas together and make things happen.
