“Sy Smith has proven throughout her career that an R&B artist can be progressive while remaining firmly rooted in tradition.”- Andy Kellman

Beginning as a background singer for Whitney Houston in the late ’90s, Sy Smith has become a multi-dimensional R&B artist and a leading force in post-millennial indie soul.

She has since worked closely with Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti and Grammy-nominated group the Foreign Exchange, among dozens of other artists. Smith established an independent label of her own, an outlet for compositionally solid and sonically adventurous albums including The Syberspace Social (2005), Conflict (2008), Fast and Curious (2012), and the entirely self-produced Sometimes a Rose Will Grow in Concrete(2018).
