Born into a family with musical roots, Humphrey's grandfather played piano for acclaimed Jazz Trumpeter, Band leader and radio broadcaster Humphrey Lyttleton, after whom he was named.
Classical music was the staple diet in the young Milles' household - with the odd smattering of the Stones, the Kinks, Lou Reed and Bob Dylan all of whom he was heavily influenced by.
Having a career in music has always been the main core path for Humphrey, albeit it with a few diversions into film, surfing and art along the way. From the tender age of 4, the piano and Humphrey became close friends, until 13 where after a few false starts, he resumed his love of music again at the age of 22. Opening for such luminaries as Amy Winehouse, Snow Patrol and Ed Harcourt his projected career looked beyond stellar.
This again came to a sudden and crashing halt when Humphrey was punched in the throat in 2010 - which resulted in lengthy, deep and extensive treatment.
2012 sees a gentle but significant re-entry into the world of music by Milles, resulting in a glorious body of work, called Tall Stories. The exceedingly talented Ed Harcourt on production and guitar loves the result, saying "if the is any justice in the world, this record should be No 1"
Humphrey’s love of the planet, science and music is reflected in his poignant lyrics and his active support of organisations, like Greenpeace.
Well, here is to world justice then!
