Miles Minnick
ABOUT MILES
Founder of the Glo Collective and Bay Area artist Miles Minnick has established his sound, his ministry, and his family with one thing in mind never bow to the fear of regret. After losing his job in 2019, Minnick went full steam ahead with his music ministry, working with a long list of some of CHH’s most established CHH artists. From nobigdyl and Hulvey, to WHATUPRG, Wande, 1KPhew, and most recently, Bizzle and Lecrae, Minnick became known for his high energy beats and clear lyrical delivery over classic Bay Area production by Glo Collective producer Sotahi. The pair’s music sparked a faithful fanbase, now affectionately known as GloNation.
Solemnly refusing to be the “Christian version of anything,” Minnick’s music reaches far beyond the four walls, while he still remains true to the core values of his faith. In 2022, Minnick’s debut album Holographic topped the CHH charts upon its release. Since its release, Miles has had his music played at Los Angeles Rams’ games, and performed at stages across the globe, from Holy Smoke and Flavor Fest, to Hope California at the Honda Center in Los Angeles.
