About Me

Smash Hitley is unique!
His live show is a spectacle.
Without the aid of backing tracks or sequencers, Smash creates epic remixes comprised of up to 80 layers of sound, incorporating bits and pieces of up to half a dozen different artists (per song). The ultimate "mash-up".
In addition, Hitley assigns images and stunning visual effects to various notes on his synthesizer. Everything we see and hear is coming at us, in real-time, from the notes he plays.
His work offers an artistic take on the cult of celebrity.
