-Inspired for the last 25 years by artist such as AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Nickel back, Def Leppard, and several other 80’s rock bands Dana "The Legend "Smith started playing at the age of 15 after picking drum sticks for the first time and instantly discovering his natural passion for drums. He played in several bands throughout high school and attended Mount Allison University Summer Music School.

Although playing on and off for the last 25 years, Dana has never lost his passion for music and his desire to play in a band.
Dana’s ability to play in many musical genres most notably in Hard Rock has allowed him to accompany several artists such as performer extraordinaire Jeremy Reid.
While spending long hours on the road listening and thinking of music Dana recently decided to pick up the pen himself and since then has composed several songs, one of which is a signature for his band Crossover and more to come.
