His debut solo album "Blue Slide Park" snagged the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album chart in 2011. In 2014, he signed with his first major record label, Warner Bros. Records.
In August, Miller released his fifth studio album "Swimming" and was scheduled to begin his U.S. tour in October. The album debuted in the third spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
Miller dated Ariana Grande for two years before they broke up in May. Following his death, Grande said she was sorry she couldn't save the "sweetest soul" who for so long was her "dearest friend."
