Early life
Early life
Smith was born to a British Jamaican family in Luton on 3 June 1998 and raised in an ethnically diverse community. He grew up listening to a broad range of music, including pop-punk, singer/songwriters, and hip-hop. As his interest in music grew, he bought a guitar and learned to play. He began performing covers at parties and open-mic nights, focusing on songwriters such as Ed Sheeran, Marcus Mumford, and Chris Martin. From a young age, Smith taught himself to play guitar and piano, and by the age of 12, he was performing at local open-mic nights. Growing up in Luton, he was influenced by the town's cultural diversity and local music scene, which included family pubs and Irish music. This environment encouraged him to break boundaries and develop his individual musical style. Smith holds a degree in sociology from the University of Nottingham, having graduated in 2019.
Career
Career
Smith began posting on TikTok and in the autumn of 2022, a clip posted caught the attention of Eric Parker, an attorney and CEO of Extended Play Music Group, who offered to be Smith’s manager. Together, they took an unconventional approach, building an audience before making a record. Smith kept posting online, recording covers of songs to cultivate a following that would be receptive to the sorts of original tracks he wanted to write. He first gained significant attention with his covers, including Amber Run's "I Found". In late 2023, Smith released several singles including "My Home" and "Solo". This online success led to a record deal with Sony Music. In March 2024, Smith released his debut EP, You Promised a Lifetime. "Stargazing" was released on 10 May 2024 and was written by Smith, Jesse Fink, and Peter Fenn, the latter of whom produced it. The song contains themes of "self-discovery and introspection", with Smith describing the inspiration as being rooted in the idea of lifelong love, conceived during his time in Los Angeles earlier in the year. Smith, a native of Luton, performed on the BBC Music Introducing Stage at the Radio 1 Big Weekend on 25 May 2024. The event, held at Stockwood Park in his hometown, was his first festival performance. His performance was supported by BBC Music Introducing, a platform by BBC Radio for unsigned, undiscovered, and under-the-radar UK music talent. His performance was specifically supported by BBC Three Counties Radio. He won the BBC Introducing Artist of the Year award for 2024. A year later, he performed on the main stage of BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend. His single "Stargazing" had the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart for a week in September 2024, and in December 2025 surpassed a billion streams. He received 3 nominations at the 2025 BRIT Awards, including receiving the BRIT Rising Star Award, at the broadcast ceremony on 1 March 2025. His single "Nice to Meet You" hit No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart in July 2025. Smith supported Ed Sheeran on the European leg of Sheeran's 2025 tour. On 28 September 2025, Smith performed the halftime show for the NFL International Series game at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. On 6 February 2026, Smith released the single "Drive Safe", in collaboration with Irish singer Niall Horan. On 19 June 2026, he released his debut studio album, My Mess, My Heart, My Life, on Sony.
