At nine-teen Hope Riley-Miner was a long way from her Kentucky home when she had her first audition in Hollywood, CA for music producer Tim Miner.

"She came in to my studio on Sunset Blvd. and sang a Jewel song, having no idea my partner and I were looking for a Jewel type girl." Tim Miner

As a country singer in LA trying to find her niche , Hope found more opportunities as a Ford Model, actress and writer than to showcase her voice.

Her acting career started on the hit show "7th Heaven" and she went on to star in numerous tv-series such as "How I met your Mother" and several features, including "The Holiday" and most currently "17 again".

Hope co-wrote many of the songs on her album and the love of writing music sparked a passion in her for writing screenplays. After completing numerous screenplays she and Tim partnered to start their TV and film production company, Green Nation Entertainment. They are slated to start filming one of Hope's screenplays this year. Hope will be starring as the lead in the romantic comedy, "Popcorn Ceiling" and many of the songs on her album will be featured in the film. Even though it has been other opportunities that has kept Hope afloat, music has always been her first love.

"I'd record songs off the radio onto my cassette tapes when I was a little girl and sing along with Pam Tillis and Faith Hill at the top of my lungs until the tape would literally break from exhaustion. I just don't know how to stop when it is in my heart to do something." Hope Riley-Miner
