Reggae fans who have seen super-talented reggae singer Leighton Miller are always immediately impressed by the powerful compelling quality of his voice. Some have even remarked that his voice sounds like a cross between a young Richie Stephens and the late R & B superstar Luther Vandross. However, this humble young man doesn't allow accolades get to his head, he is on a musical mission.

He scored a minor hit with the single, Silly of Me, and he has followed up that success with the spiritually charged 'Press Along'. The response to 'Press Along' has been so encouraging that Miller flew to Jamaica last week to shoot a video for the single.

"I love how people have been responding to my music, I view this as a religious calling to use my voice to inspire and heal people and that is my main reason for doing music," he said.

He said that the 'Press Along' video is very touching and inspirational, and he hopes that he can lend hope to people struggling to survive the challenges of the inner city experience in the Corporate Area's poor slums.
