Bio

Antoine Smith, born Aug. 1, 1992 (BMI member) is a jazz and other genres composer, drummer, keyboardist, singer, rapper, producer, and engineer. The 6’1” underrated artist has produced 11 jazz fusion albums from age 15. In 2008 by age 15, his 6th album “All That Jazz” got him signed under an independent label Turn On Records (a subsidiary of EROICA who is a leading classical recording major label.)

Smith’s jazz uniquely allures his fans by “creating melodic journeys that soothes the mind.” His therapeutic grooves distinctively entice a “wine and cheese” plateau atmosphere. His professional background proves he is a hard working songwriter by saying…“he writes everyday.”

His compositions are formulated from jazz/world/pop/j-pop/rhythm & blues/rap/hip-hop and nu-jazz. Pseudo names for his rap and hip-hop: DJ Night Writer and Cleveland Milez. Smith’s rap/hip-hop, and rhythm & blues is popular for his originals and remakes on Youtube that many local and indie rappers frequently use for their mix-tapes. His influences: Chris Botti, Hiroshima, Paul Hardcastle, The Rippingtons, Miles, Coltrane, The Runners, Cool And Dre, Drumma Boy, Justice League, KanYe West, et al.
