Kevin Smith (born February 20, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and keyboardist who is Chicago-based.
As a child, Smith always listened to the music around him, from church broadcasts with his grandmother to television shows like American Bandstand, Shindig!, Rock Concert, Midnight Special, and Lawrence Welk.
Most of the projects he has worked on are R&B oriented, but he appreciates the sophisticated harmonies of gospel, nice string arrangements and "rocked out" guitars whenever possible.
Smith undertook three tours of Italy in 2004, 2005, and 2007 with the traditional gospel group, Tecora Rogers & The Chicago Spirituals.
Me has worked with many musicians and session recording artists including the Chicago Catz, "Downtown" Tony Brown, Richie Davis, Mark Ohlsen, Wayne Stewart, David Gross, Josie Aiello, Devin Thompson, James A. Perkins Jr., and Tony "Toca" Carpenter.
