About Me

Background Artist:
Marah Johnson This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
I suppose the most accurate way to describe myself is that I write the songs that make a few people sing...here and there...upon occasion. With that being said, I’ve been very lucky and already have had more success than I would have been happy with. That doesn’t stop me, though. I have a deep love of good gospel music and I always will. I’m passionately pursuing country writing now, though, and it seems to be going well. Again, I rely on the generousity of those more talented than I, and they continue to amaze me. So, while Nashville continues to be kind to me, I’ll continue to play here and there and write a whole lot. And, hopefully, you’ll come out to a show and find something that you may want to sing along with...
In the meantime, here’s the ’official’ statement that you’d read about me in somewhere. I didn’t write it--feels too pretentious, but my brother thought I should put it up here:
Belinda Smith is a Dove Award Winning songwriter. She has been writing since 1997 when she moved to Nashville from West Virginia. Along with her Dove Award for 2004 Bluegrass Recorded Song of the Year, her songs have received several Dove nominations and enjoyed many other award nominations. Belinda has had multiple number 1 songs, most recently in 2007 with "Over and Over" by Jeff & Sheri Easter, and in 2004 and 2008 she was presented with a BMI Performance Award. Belinda has cuts by artists ranging from FFH to Gaither. Belinda has served on songwriting faculties across the country.

Dove Nomination! WooHoo

Hey guys-- Thought I'd share.  Sue and I got a Dove nomination for our song, "Over and Over."  Like I told a friend, songwriting is often an anonymous job, and given that, affirmat...
