Mr. Smith is a world-renowned, honest to ‘Good-God’ Soul Man – a self-made singer, songwriter, producer and actor who has set concert stages on fire from Shanghai to Russia, Turkey, London, France, Finland and, of course his hometown New York City. He has released several recordings including 2019’s critically acclaimed 1634 Lexington Avenue. He had the honor of portraying his greatest musical hero, James Brown, in the Barry Levinson film “Liberty Heights” (1999). Above all, Mr. Smith is an entertainer, fortified by the traditions of golden eras past yet with razor sharp ears and eyes for the platinum-plus present.
