THE QUESTION... THE ANSWER!

About Me

When you think of talented professionals, your initial conceptions are of persons in double breasted suits and of ages ranging from 30 and 50 years old. Such conceptions can lead to an error of judgment. For example, Soundsmith, a culmination of four diversely young professional producers/musicians, have been dispelling such misconceptions since their birth as a production team. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Soundsmith enteredthe recording industry with relentless tenacity. A name well chosen has proven to be the true reflection of their nature as a production team not failing to mention they're only fresh into their twenties.

Let not their ages mislead you, they are professionals with industry constituents of major status. Soundsmith, co-founder Keith (Y-Not) Alexander Fogah Jr., Macintosh (MacMilli) Hundal, Sean (Neenyo) Seaton, and Richard (Ritchie) John Miranda, are the future of the recording industry if you further consider the words of industry mogul DJ EFN of Miami's Mixtape King who was quoted saying, "Soundsmith is one of the top producers in the industry.personally I'm telling you this at this very moment, they are going to pioneer a movement." And, pioneering the future sound of the world is what Soundsmith so eloquently does whenever this team crafts a track.

The classification of their music can be best determined by considering their influences: gospel, jazz, reggae, hip-hop, experimental, and R&B. Thus, "the only label for our sound is diversity," states Sean Seaton, member of Soundsmith since 2004. Moreover, Jay Devonish of Koch stated, "Soundsmith has a sound that's different but atthe same time easily appeals to a wide audience."

Recent completed projects included, however not limited to, Lloyd Banks, Fabolous, Young Jeezy, 'Streets on Lock' for Bleu Davinci, Jr. Writer of the Diplomats, SAS of the Diplomats, Trife Da God, St. Laz, Snyp Life. As well as Canadian Recording Artist, Syntifik, Richie Sosa, Nem-s-iss, M. Loxx, Tre Nice, Darryl Riley, Mayhem Morearty, Aristo, Don Million, JB etc.

The future appears to be nothing short of brightfor Soundsmith. Even, Steve Rubin, manager of T. Waters of So So Def, shares this sentiment saying, "Soundsmith's production is ridiculous." Soundsmith, the future of hip hop, has proven that they are here to make therecording industry their new home.

Look for more from Soundsmith in decades to come. As the recording industry becomes more customizable, more innovative, and more customer-based, Soundsmith will be there to provide diverse, authentic content.
