As one of the hottest up and coming names in the music community of Miami, Florida, LJ Smooth is planning to release new music this March, 2023. As an artist who dabbles in the music genres of Pop, R&B, Dancehall, and Afrobeat, Smooth is redefining the Carnival sound that is familiarized within the downtown Miami community. Miami has a vibrant music scene that spans a wide range of genres. From the lively Latin influence of reggaeton and salsa to the hip-hop beats of Miami bass, the city's music scene is ever-evolving. There are also many popular music festivals that take place in the city each year, which have helped to put Miami on the map as a destination for music lovers around the world. Smooth is excited to have set up shop in this vibrant and exciting city. 

As a Virgin Island’s native, integrating his style and energy into the Miami’s music subculture has been a thrilling move. After traveling to the US to complete his Bachelor's Degree in technology and business, he found it easy to assimilate, as he brought his own roots and flavor to the vibrant music scene of Southern Florida. Smooth writes music that is an extension of himself, as he aims to provide upbeat, dancey songs for any audience to enjoy. He draws inspiration from popular musicians such as Michael Jackson, Maxwell, Prince, Trey Songz, Neo and Alicia Keys as well as Vybez Cartel, Beenie Man, WizKid and Burna Boy. 

Smooth maintains a wide background in the world of music, extending back to his childhood. The artist began taking piano lessons as a child and later participated in a church drumming team. His family also had a rich musical background, as his father would play Bob Marley and Peter Tosh records at home and so Smooth was able to foster his love for a variety of different styles of music genres. This also helped him develop an early appreciation of the arts.

The latest album from LJ Smooth is expected to drop soon and Smooth is thrilled to see where his journey will continue to take him. At the moment, the musician is signed with a label in the UK and is preparing to release his first album. The excitement of this update does not mean that LJ Smooth will be taking a break anytime soon. His passion for music and for performing is keeping him motivated, as he doesn’t plan on slowing down

“This is a new venture and I'm excited for this new music to reach many ears across the world,” Smooth says. Being able to play his songs for a wide audience is a dream come true. This artist is optimistic about seeing his fanbase and listeners grow in exponential numbers.
