From the moment you hear it, you're drawn into his world, a world shaped by performances in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, now reaching a global audience online. His voice reflects years of experience, with each word filled with the lessons he's learned along the way.
Although he has played live before in various locations, this track marks the beginning of a new chapter for Smyths, as he takes his music beyond borders. With upcoming performances at events like the Red Carpet Show International in Wageningen, where he has received several nominations, and the Country Messe in Erfurt, Smyths aims to share his soulful music with both new listeners and long-time fans.
