A born wanderer, Steven Smyth grew up travelling around Australia as the son of ministers. His parents built churches from scratch, and from a young age, he found himself constantly surrounded by music and people making it. In his formative years he discovered his musical influences (Leadbelly, Carol King, Radiohead, Tim Buckley, and Bob Dylan) then at 16, he performed a guitar instrumental of Jeff Buckley's Grace to an enraptured audience at Vietnam's first western concert since the 1960s. From that moment on, he found himself constantly travelling and playing music. It was a yearning that seemed so natural and easy.
Steven Smyth is one of those artists who draws you in even before you've heard him perform. There seems to be an energy that clings to him which reaps mystery and a deep, honest passion. And when you see him perform you feel like he's conveying a million conversations, a million experiences filled with heartache, love, excitement... And he delivers his songs with pure honesty and an unconscious bliss. You can almost hear the churning out of his mind through his antique Remington typewriter.
'Music is something I do where I don't have to pretend. It's an honest place to be, and that humbles me. And I can't get enough of that" - Steven Smyth.
