In May 2011, Miller won the Samsung and T-Mobile USA national "Kick it With the Band" talent competition. As a grand prize winner, Miller was awarded $35,000 to use for his music career as well as a video with YouTube celebrity Keenan Cahill.[citation needed] Afterward he opened for Mac Miller and performed alongside Flo Rida, Sean Kingston, and Asher Roth at the "Think Pink Rocks" concert which benefited breast cancer awareness. In December 2011, Miller performed at the annual Y100 Jingle Ball concert[4] along with Cody Simpson and We the Kings. Miller partnered with Big Time Rush for the song "Lost In Love" from the album 24/Seven.[5] Miller released his EP Spotlight on July 29, 2012, with the single "What I Wouldn't Give".

It marked his debut with Warner Bros. The EP includes the songs "Party in the Penthouse", "Lion Heart", along with the lead single, and features with Nikki Flores on "Ghost" and Travie McCoy on "Dazed and Confused". The songs on the renamed EP are the same from the Lion Heart EP.[11] The accompanying tour, titled The Dazed And Confused Tour, began on July 8, 2015, in Sayreville, New Jersey and went on in the US until August 13, 2015.[12] On the same day of the start of the tour, Miller surprisingly announced through his social medias that an EP, called Rumors, would be released later that day, with five new songs.[13][14] The EP debuted at No. 118 on the Billboard 200 with 8,000 units, the highest selling new album of the week.[15] The 2015 EP Rumors closes with the track "Sunshine" about Miller's childhood friend Dylan Andrew Schopp who had committed suicide in February 2015 aged 21. A music video was also prepared with proceeds of the single going to the Dylan Schopp Sunshine Foundation and for youth suicide awareness.[16]
