Imagine if Harry Styles traded in his flashy Elton John costumes for a leather jacket, jet-black boots, a pack of smokes, and an iPod Nano loaded with Red and Flyleaf albums. You’d land somewhere near McMillin, a 27-year-old guitarist and vocalist based in Nashville, Tennessee. He’s built his reputation playing across the country with Space Radio and Ratilla, holding residencies at Category 10, Ole Red, and Tin Roof, while bringing original music to rooms like EXIT/IN, The End, and Eastside Bowl.

​

His work is a collision of grit and clarity — modern rock with a restless edge, grounded in sharp songwriting and heavy, deliberate guitar work. Whether on stage or in the studio, McMillin leans into intensity without losing control, shaping a sound that feels both immediate and lived-in.

​

Beyond his solo material, his guitar work and vocals help define Space Radio and Ratilla — Space Radio are cover bands based in Nashville, TN, who in just two years have secured residencies across some of the most exclusive entertainment circuits, performed at Moonshine Flats in San Diego, and been selected for numerous private and high-profile events. Ratilla was a staple band on the Rolling Stone Rock Room for Holland America, entertaining thousands of guests at sea.

​

He has also shared the stage with Jelly Roll, performing a pop-up set at the grand opening of his Nashville bar.

​

His releases have earned editorial support from Apple Music, landing on New in Rock and New in Alternative, with his EP ‘Only From Afar’ featured in the platform’s Alternative New Releases. Additional support has come from EARMILK, the Academy of Country Music, and Live Nation’s Ones to Watch playlist. He was also named a 2026 Artist to Watch by Flaunt Magazine.

​

McMillin isn’t chasing trends — he’s building something that hits harder and lasts longer, where raw sound and real perspective meet without compromise.
