Smithsoneon

You can expect a high level of professionalism, skill and preparation from me. I respect people’s time and artistry and take my craft very seriously because that’s what allows this work to be fun.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, Smithsoneon has been performing professionally as a Drummer and Singer since the age of 15. He attended Berklee College of music then continued his career in NYC, NY where he now resides. He has had the opportunity to play with many great artists such as Kenny Garrett, Bilal, Kadhja Bonet and Big Yuki. He also is a founding member of the band “Freelance” in which he is the lead singer and songwriter. As a songwriter, Smithsoneon focuses the topics of his songs around messages that he hopes will inspire self reflection and growth for both himself and his listeners. He has a project coming out soon entitled “Grey” which deals with just a few of the many grey areas of love and life. He believes that in a world consumed by black and white, it is in the embracing of grey that you find understanding and connection.
