Resavoir is the work of Chicago-born and based musician, composer and producer Will Miller. Miller is a jazz trumpeter and composer by training – first via Chicago Public Schools, then Oberlin Conservatory. As an instrumentalist he’s played on recordings by Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne, Mac Miller, and for several years was a regular member of the indie band Whitney. Since 2016 he’s moved more and more in the direction of all-around “producer” – working with an expanded palette of synths, pianos, live and programmed drums in addition to his MIDI-augmented trumpet, he developed a signature cinematic soul-jazz sound rooted in hip-hop structures, heard through his work on tracks for Eryn Allen Kane, Whitney, Knox Fortune, and SZA’s recently-released album SOS (which spent 10 weeks as the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart).

In 2019 Miller released Resavoir’s debut album Resavoir to high praise, including a glowing 8.2 review in Pitchfork. Later that year, Miller and his live version of the Resavoir band (featuring former Noname musical director Akenya, saxophonist/vocalist/MC Sen Morimoto, and others) did their London debut as part of the first Boiler Room Festival. While they were in London, they did a recording session at Total Refreshment Studios. One of those recordings was a cover of the Charles Tolliver song “Plight,” and the track was released by Blue Note Records as part of the compilation Transmissions from Total Refreshment Centre.

Miller spent much of the pandemic years in his studio, and much of 2022 on tour with Whitney. In 2023, Resavoir released their second self-titled album, a more polished and focused presentation of Miller’s evolving skills as a studio producer, with his compositional touch more articulate than ever. The collection’s eleven tracks feature a massive list of contributors including Elton Aura, Whitney, Akenya, Matt Gold, Eddie Burns, Lane Beckstrom, Jeremy Cunningham, Irvin Pierce, Macie Stewart, Peter Manheim and more. Across 2024, Resavoir released several singles including “Life Before,” a Knox Fortune remix of their track “Future,” and a live-in-studio cover of “Love Theme from Spartacus.” Resavoir capped off 2024 with a grand performance at Chicago’s Thalia Hall under the name Orchestra Resavoir, with Miller arranging a program of his Resavoir compositions for an 18-piece philharmonic.

In 2025, Miller released Horizon, a collaborative album with longtime friend and fellow Chicago-based musician Matt Gold (a seasoned multi-instrumentalist and accomplished guitarist who’s worked with Makaya McCraven, Jamila Woods, and Greg Ward). What started as a love letter to their shared affinity for ‘60s and ‘70s Brazilian music evolved into a dynamic and sprawling body of work that saw its release on International Anthem.

Most recently, Miller presented Orchestra Resavoir in a landmark performance at Chicago’s prestigious Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park in August 2025.
