ADAM SMITH

About the Artist

Singer-Songwriter Adam Smith is a natural. Born in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, raised in Cloverlick, Kentucky, and discovered on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee, Adam is self-taught and naturally inspired to create his moving, original music.

He discovered the piano on his own as a 7-year-old and soon was playing whenever he could, composing tunes by earand by sight. "It was a visual thing for me" Adam says. "I would see a pattern on the keyboard and play it. I could see shapes in the keys, and the shapes would make music. It was a fun game to me. It still is."

Influenced early by an eclectic mix of female artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Amy Grant, and Wilson Philips, it wasnt until Adam heard Joni Mitchells Blue album that he began to put lyrics to his songs. "It changed my life and the way I think about and hear music."

His visual approach to music produces uniquely emotive results. Freshly recorded, all original songs. This is the work of Adam Smith, a musical visionary, in a very real sense.
