I want you to just look at this music video.
Fred Berthet, a.k.a. DJ Steef appears to have cut and looped this washed-out video footage of Grant Miller doing lip-sync in front of possibly the most hideous stage decoration ever, presumably for TV...and then separated the audio ... and there you have an edit. Or he made it look that way.
Grant Miller was an American model, singer, and even a soap opera actor, like if Buckaroo Banzai wasn't '80s enough... who toured Europe doing Broadway musicals when he crossed paths with Divine, who introduced him to his new producer, italo disco titan Fancy. My first impression when hearing Grant Miller's "Colder Than Ice" was that it sounded an awful lot like Fancy's “Lady Of Ice”. Consensus in late 2026 is that there's something off with Fancy. Great, catchy pop hooks but you can just smell cologne just from seeing a picture of the guy. And fashion sense somewhere between episodes of Dynasty and the Karens of First Baptist Church. He also comes off like a crime boss. I don't even want to speculate what "Slice Me Nice" was even about, but it gives me images of Silence Of The Lambs in a pastry shop. But if you watch the video, it turns out everyone gets tetanus by the end, but it looks like they’re about to wander into the climactic industrial site scene from Robocop. They could turn a corner at any time and run into Emil, the guy who gets splashed with toxic waste and then his skin falls off.
But back to Grant Miller, he had a good run in Europe but moved back to Indiana in more recent years. Let’s hope he enjoys some relative anonymity away from the shadow of Fancy.
