Smolsky is a singer/songwriter, actor/model, and musician originally from Los Angeles, CA now based in New York City. His lyrical, yet commanding style is a blend of his background in musical theatre and his influence of writers such as Bob Dylan, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, and the late David Bowie. He is known for being captivating performance style. After spending three years playing in Santa Monica, Smolsky created his own record label, Crazy Bitch Records, and set out on tour across the United States and the UK. In venues such as The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles, the Ryman Auditorium and Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, The Bitter End in NYC, and The Cavern Club in Liverpool, Smolsky has thoroughly developed his performance craft.
