About Me

My name is Riley Smith. I'm a singer/songwriter from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Having shared the stage with Green Day at three sold out concerts in Canada and the United States, I am taking this unique experience to a new level-- writing, recording, and perorming some original acoustic rock. Check out my first single, "Song For Dave" -a tribute to my stepfather who tragically passed away in 2007. It was produced by Cody Osborne of Platinum Tracks in Vancouver, British Columbia. Right now, I am working on a new single, and writing for my first LP, "The Demolition". Check out the videos below!
