AaRoN Smith is a singer/songwriter from Carlow. Currently studying at BIMM in Dublin, Smith is already attracting plenty of attention for his clever, catchy, quirky and original songs and his equally quirky look.
In 2021, Smith teamed up with producer Dave Ayers (Studio 51) to record his debut album, titled Storyboard. It features 12 original tracks that showcase Smith’s incredible voice and invites the listener to peek inside his Alice in Wonderland mind where all sorts of magic and mayhem are sonically produced.
Smith’s musical theatre background serves him well both vocally and performance wise and although strongly influenced by artists such as Billy Joel and Jeff Lynn, his style is comparable to the genius of Jonathan Richmond and MIKA. Smith doesn’t have a self-conscious bone in his body and cares little whether something is cool or not. He’s just happy to sing and that’s massively to his credit. His ability to take his audience down the rabbit hole on a magnificent sing-along joy ride is worth the money alone.
He releases his first single titled “Shotgun” on all streaming and download, platforms on April 7th. The official launch takes place in The Grand Social Dublin on April 18th when Smith, accompanied by a full band, will play a number of tracks from his forthcoming album.
