My last name is Smith and my profession is creating MIDI music with computers and midi equipment.

I don't play live anymore. I use to love to perform, now I love to MAKE AND BREAK new artist into the music business.

The Internet is the BOMB! I love checking out other artist and producers around the world, and being able to communicate and maybe collaborate with them. It's ALL about the MUZIC!!!

Yes! I would prefer a production deal!
