C Miller (born Corey Miller on March 9, 1971) is an American rap artist from the infamous Calliope Projects in New Orleans, Louisiana. Prior to April 5, 2005, he used the stage name C-Murder, and changed it to C. Miller. When asked why he chose the name, Miller has said "They call me C-Murder, cuz I see murder". He has recently started using his former stage name of C-Murder once again.[1] He appears on Ludacris' Release Therapy album on a song called "Do Your Time" (also featuring previously incarcerated rappers Pimp C and Beanie Sigel, he is credited as C-Murder). He is also featured on the N.W.O. Wolfpac wrestling theme. He was at one time engaged to R&B singer Monica.[2]

He is one of many rappers who rose to fame in the mid-to-late 1990s releasing records through his brother Master P's label, No Limit Records. He is a member of the group TRU.
C-Miller was on house arrest pending a trial for second-degree murder of a 16 year old, Steven Thomas, who was shot in the chest during a Jan. 12, 2002, brawl at a now-closed club in Harvey, Louisiana. Presiding Judge Martha Sassone, allowed C-Murder to promote his new yet to be titled CD, and novel, Death Around the Corner, while under house arrest, but stated the gag order in place pertaining to the case is still in effect. The rapper had been sentenced to house arrest in his grandmothers home, the terms of the house arrest call for her permission for all visitors, including reporters.[3][4] On March 13, 2007, Judge Sassone granted Millers request to work on his music career on a per request basis and, denied his request for a 7AM-9PM curfew.[5]
