Video Premiere: Miller Campbell "One Step"

At nineteen, Miller Campbell was diagnosed with a fatal condition that required immediate double surgery. Unsure if she’d ever be able to sing again, she focused on songwriting and her classes, graduating the University of Washington with two degrees and honors at 21. After graduation, Campbell was recruited by the C.I.A, yet two weeks before she was scheduled to deploy, realizing she could not picture a life without music at the forefront, she quit.

In late 2017, the singer-songwriter released her EP, Sweet Whiskey, a seven-track outing that boldly declared her intent to claim a prominent place in the canon of western music. Today, TDC is honored to premiere the video for "One Step," a song that Campbell wrote for her brother, John. The subdued video, which finds Campbell solo and reflective, captures her love for her brother, the heartbreak of the loss, and the peace she hopes he now finds. "I dreamed last night you spoke to me, you were finally set free/Vision's clear, a smile ear to ear/Honey don't you worry no more."

Campbell explains the personal and emotional story behind the song, “This song was the entire start of the Sweet Whiskey record, inspired by the unexpected passing of my brother, John Campbell. I literally wrote this song laying in his bedroom after the funeral, unable to sleep, eat, or process what happened. He was my absolute soulmate, and the reason I had the courage to pursue a career in music. Without his encouragement, friendship, and utter belief in my talent, this record would never have even began. I really hope that this song can reach those going through grief, and let them know they are not alone in the hopelessness, and depression that comes hand in hand with it. I owe everything to my brother, and hope this song honors his memory every time it's played.”
