Moorpark College Professor Alfred Miller is a man of many talents, with experience in radio, acting, and music.

It is only recently however, that Miller had an opportunity to showcase his talents with the release of his full-length album, “American Love.”

The album has a classic jazz- type of feel conveyed by Miller’s deep melodic singing style. He performs selections taken from famous artists, such as Louis Armstrong, Gershwin, and Frank Sinatra. Songs included on the CD include “The Way You Look Tonite,” “What a Wonderful World,” and “Unchained Melody”.

“‘American Love’ is not just a tribute to the great singers and songwriters of our time,” said Miller. “It is a tribute to American love and the expression of love that Americans share when supporting each other in times of need.” The selection of songs on the album coincides with Miller’s thoughts, allowing the listener to take their own sense of American love out of each song.

The professor of radio and television has always been interested in working on an album in order to express himself. “Music brings voice to my heart,” said Miller.

Growing up in a suburb of New York City, Miller was always surrounded by music, art, and literature. His father was an actor/comedian and his mother was a teacher. It was this upbringing that led Miller to discover his passions for performing and teaching at an early age.

Miller got his start in entertainment at the University of Illinois where he was the president of WILL-TV out of Urbana, Illinois. He has also worked as a news anchor, a broadcaster, and a writer just to name a few of his many different professions.

Miller attended the University of Georgia where he got his start teaching professionally as the assistant professor of journalism.

Miller also founded KCPB-FM, based out of Thousand Oaks, which was the first public radio program out of Ventura County.

Whether it was performing in his community or performing professionally Miller always managed to keep his passions alive. It is this passion that he shares with his students that make him the effective and beloved professor he is today.

Miller will often share his album with his students by awarding them a copy of “American Love” if they participate in class. It is this gesture that has made him one of the most popular professors around the Moorpark College campus.
