Details:
Expressing my thoughts, dreams and views in the art of hiphop has always been a hobby of mine. It grew into a never ending passion. Hiphop allowed me to be myself while granting me freedom of speech in a fun, energetic, dramatic and emotional way.

Born on the 18th September 1985, I am 22 years old Gustave Smith, a fellow native of Sandy Point, a small town in St.Kitts, W.I. My hiphop journey began at age 8 when I started writting hiphop ryhmes at the back of my school books. At age 13, while in highschool, I formed a group with my fellow classmate Talvert Clarke (I.T.Y.C.) and started making music with him as well as performing on every show that was held in the school. At age 14 we then recorded our first single, "Tru Ballers" in a professional studio. We went on to performing at talent shows and beauty pagents in our community.

Having graduated from highschool I soon later released two solo underground independant albums under the rap name "Smithoscious". My first solo project was called "Barical" in 2002 followed up by "Love By Much Hated By Many" in 2005. Having grown up and matured more musically, I now go by the name S.M.I. The name "S.M.I." simply stands for "St.Kitts Most Incredible".

I considers myself to be one of the best or if not the best lyrists on the island in he hiphop music. My music tends to please both females and males alike. Often times people who see me performing can't believe thats me. Even so are stund by the astonishing music and performance I deliever at shows I've performed on. Due to this my fanbase keeps getting bigger and bigger on a daily basis. People keep adding me on my myspace[www.myspace.com/smisparkling] as well as requesting my songs on the radio stations. I'm so thankful for the support because I'm just about ready to release my 3rd independant solo album. "I'm tryna be one of the best lyrisists on the island" or "I'm tryna make my mark on hiphop." "I'm glad to have support from both males and females for my music" "I've gotten good reviews about my performances and I'm working to make them even better."

The album is entiled "Hood Famous" and features 16 new tracks, all of which were mostly written by myself with a little help from my SparklingEntertainment family.So far, I have release two singles off of the new album which are "Take it Back to Da Club" and "I Stay Fresh", both of which are very catchy and energtic. So far people tends to relate to "I Stay Fresh" a lot (a lot is two words) more due to its ego tipping message "I Stay Fresh."

I have been performing on a lot of shows both big and small. Some of the recent shows I have performed on are the Miss.Labour Pagent/Mr.Vegas show,the Idonie show,the Aliane/Island Soul Entertainment Show,the Vivid Designs Modelling and Bashment show,the Kittian Superstar Semi-Finals show,the Miss.Big and Beautiful Pagent,the Mavardo Carnival Modelling show,the Real Ghetto Vybes show,the Blacka show and most recently a live performance for a television show HYPE TV. (Presently my team and I are working on some marketing arrangments and promotions for my new album release date.)why would you mention this? to let everyone know you are busy? We all busy homeboy. This is not interesting as all artists work on marketing and promos.
So definitely in 2008 you can look out for real big things from me and a lot of good music. One of my goals for this year is to reach on the St.Kitts Music Festival, so look out. I strongly believe that hard work and perseverance pays off. Now is my time to shine after years of hard work and dedication.
