A true independent artist, Presley writes, produces, performs and records his own music.
He owns and operates his own recording studio, publishing company, and independent record label, giving him complete creative control over his sound and artistry.
He began to hone his recording knowledge and skills at sixteen through old fashioned hard work and dedication. During the process, and out of necessity, he also learned to play multiple instruments.

"Unlike most pop in the mainstream, Smith’s music has an undeniable element of soul that can’t be replicated or regurgitated "
Love Street Magazine - Interview , Leesburg Times - Flow Fest 2026
Comments across social media indicate his music carries a nostalgic sound reminiscent of classic artists like The Beatles and The Beach Boys, as well as more modern influences
This track list has an indie/pop vibe — dreamy, nostalgic, and character-driven.
Several of the following songs stand out as potential focus tracks:
- Fan favorites such as Evergreen Girl, Sunbeams, and Zombie Face have emerged as some of the most popular songs with the new single I Don’t Know Why (Poison) quickly becoming a standout favorite.
“Evergreen Girl” and “Sunbeams” feel like strong singles/open-window tracks.
“Ghost In My Room”, “Fading Memories”, and “Blood Moon” deepen the moodier atmosphere.
“Pooka”, “Twiggy”, “Cats in the Rain” and “Wheezy” add personality, coming of age identity and quirky charm in the middle stretch.
“Zombie Face” is a great closer title — feels cinematic and emotionally unresolved in a good way.
“I Don’t Know Why (Poison)” works nicely as a bonus track because of it is more alternate / demo / B-side energy. (Streaming and physical CD only)
