Pianist/Composer/Singer-Songwriter/Arranger/Author. Boogie-woogie, Blues to Classical! 6th Place Nominee for Best Blues/Jazz Artist, 2014 Chicago Independent Music Awards (now called Chicago Entertainment Awards).

In 2004, Debra Hope Miller...aka Little Debra, got hooked on the blues and boogie-woogie old time piano playing. She emersed herself in the style. Prior to that time, she played mainly classical piano and a little jazz.

With her first CD, Cat Walk Boogie and Blues©, Debra plays tribute to old classic blues and boogie-woogie piano from the past. The CD title comes from her original piano piece, Cat Walk Boogie.

As a composer and singer/songwriter, Debra writes in many styles. Her composition Sea of Clouds, combines her piano playing with her singing in a classical/pop type composition. Her composition, Spanish Interlude in G, is a classical composition she composed for piano and had separately orchestrated for piano and ensemble. Her Piano Concerto in Eb Major is a one movement concerto she wrote and was orchestrated by her nephew, Tyler Katz who is a composer too. And Conversations from Within/Inner Dimensions is another classical piano piece of Debra's combining classical with a kind of new age feel with Debra on piano.

And then back to her blues/pop/jazz side can be heard with her songs What is Freedom to Me, The Meaning of Life (is Within Every One of Us), I Thought Friends Were Forever, I Got the Blues, Parking Meter Blues, River of Tears and other songs she has written.

As an author, Debra wrote the children's book: Buffy Blues and Boogie Woogie Max©...Two Cool Cats. It ties into her composition Cat Walk Boogie and is about 2 cool cats...Buffy Blues and Boogie Woogie Max who recruit other cats to their cool cat format and listen and dance to her Cat Walk Boogie piece.
