Jeffery Smith started playing music at the age of seven. Raised among talented musicians, he mastered six different instruments, including lead, bass, and acoustic guitars, keyboards, drums, percussion, and talkbox. He continued to perfect his skills by performing various musical styles in concert, marching, stage, and symphonic bands with his school and local community. Jeffery developed his own distinctive sound by listening to legendary artists such as George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Lionel Richie, Frankie Beverly, Roger Troutman, Prince, Michael Jackson, the Jackson Five, Earth, Wind and Fire, Commodores, and many other soul, jazz, and R&B artists. Not only is Jeffery a talented multi-instrumentalist, but he also writes, arranges, records, engineers, produces, and performs all of his music. He has released over 14 albums as an independent artist. Now in his fourth decade of recording, Dallas-based artist, composer, and producer Jeffery Smith has released his latest album "Reflections." While his guitar magic dominates the album, Smith is also an impressive balladeer with silky vocal tracks that beautifully complement his up-tempo, danceable tracks. Smith has achieved one #1 and two top-ten hits on the Billboard Magazine Chart and has garnered over 10 million streams on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube. Jeffery’s fan base continues to grow, and his live performances are top-notch. Billboard #1 Smooth Jazz Guitarist
