In a recent article in the Argonaut, Lyndsie Kiebert wrote:

Millheim finds music undoubtedly his greatest passion. He is able to play several instruments, including piano, electric bass and double bass. He said the complexity of music is what draws him to be a performer, especially learning about the ways people interpret music.

“You can view (music) culturally, you can view it analytically, you can view it emotionally, you can view it spiritually, there are so many ways.” [Millheim says]
