The album "A Place Called Home" marks the musical return of one of today's most gifted pianists and composers.

Heralded as a prodigy, Jeff Smith began composing and playing the piano at age two and performing publically at age eight. Jeff has performed on radio and television and throughout the U.S. and Europe. Highlights of his performing career include an orchestral debut in Philadelphia at age 13 and a European tour at age 16. His many performances include those at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in New York City, and the Beethovenhaus in Bonn, Germany. Jeff holds a Masters degree and Doctoral studies from the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, Maryland.

In recent years Jeff's performance style has focused primarily on original Classical/New Age and Contemporary piano music. Active as a composer as well as recitalist, Jeff has composed works for television, radio, and film. Works include instrumental music written and recorded for the Madacy Music Group which has been included on over 25 CDs, including compact discs for Thomas Kinkade and others. Eleven of Jeff's songs were awarded the honor of being included in Madacy's "Top 20 - Best of Relaxation" album and numerous pieces have been in the EZ- Tracks.com top 10 Nature Songs for well over 5 years. Jeff has also composed music for the television shows "As the World Turns" and "Guiding Light" as part of the Grammy Award winning "Radio Theater Group".

Jeff's most recent album, "A Place Called Home" represents a return to his greatest musical love: composing at the piano. Inspired by David Nevue and the "Whisperings" collective of pianists, Jeff set out to compose his first ever solo piano album. Jeff writes: "My desire was to allow God to create through me a collection of pieces that would capture the longing of every heart for a place of peace and rest". Listeners all agree, "A Place Called Home" does just that.

Selections from the album can be heard on Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio as part of the Whisperings Collective of pianists. The collective includes today's best pianists and has attracted well over one million listeners each month.
