What can I say...this girl has such a wonderful gift. She has the gift of gab and the gift of heart.
Porsche Smith, a 26 year old soul singer from Oakland,CA now residing in Dallas,TX, knows the art of performing and constructing an album. However,despite all of her energy and determination, it seems her music has not reach a wider audience yet.
Porsche is not only a skillfull singer, but plays guitar and keys as well. I met
Porsche Smith back in 2006 while
living in West Oakland,CA. I wondered WHY was she trying to sing back up for me when she had so much going for her. It just made me realize how wonderful she was inside and out as well as a dope musician/vocalist. All didn't end there for her though. She just recently won the
John Legend Remix Contest sponsored by
Ourstage and was lucky to play her version of
John Legend's "
Everybody Knows" at Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood,Florida.
Porsche not only resung John Legends song, but she produced it as well, playing only acoustic guitar.
Porsche has also opened up
for
Geno Young and
PJ Morton, to name a few. She released her debut album
About Life in 2007 which was very much
Porsche and depicted some experiences in LIFE that some of us can say we have come across.
About Life receive great reviews. As time progressed, so did
Porsche's music. She released a three song EP entitled
Loveland which is the polar opposite from
About Life and is a burst of Pop and Electro. This EP was released earlier this year and shows
Porsche's growth as an artist and her ability to step out of the box people like to put soulful artists in these days .
Loveland is available
on iTunes and is still available as is
About Life. Currently,
Porsche is working on a new project and doing shows with her all-female (yes! all female) band
Beauty and The Beats who is awesome by the way. If you are not up on
Porsche Smith, this is a very good time to do so. She is the epitome of soul sista #1.
