Smith & Royal : Kelly-Marie Smith

Boiling with ideas, energy and passion and taking the best pop, roots, swing & dance, Smith & Royal is feel good pop music that will make you dance.

Smith & Royal has grabbed the attention of industry tastemakers, having worked with the cream of UK producers and mix engineers including Jason Cox (Blur, Gorillaz), Andrew Dawson (Kanye West) Jony Rockstar (Sugababes, Amy Winehouse), Cameron Mcvey (Massive Attack), Jason Boshoff (Basement Jaxx), Kensal Town (James Morrison), KGee (All Saints), Pete Craigie (Sly & Robbie, Stevie Wonder), Adrian Hall (Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys) and other top rated production houses in London, New York and LA.

All that's good in music has influenced the Smith & Royal flavour. From dancehall to spinning double basses to soundsystems to jive to swing to pop.

Smith & Royal's familiar retro "doo wop" sounds sit alongside a modern twist of sound system carnival sounds. It's like arriving at an Adidas House Party in Cadillac with legendary DJ Kool Herc. It's fun, high tempo, totally unique and carries an edgy, cool vibe. The name itself shows the two sides of the project; Smith for the for the big bass and sound system attitude and Royal for the pop and fun feel.

Comparisons have been made to a female fronted Outkast, Madcon, Fatboy Slim and Gnarls Barkley all meeting Kelis on the dancefloor of your favourite place to dance. But Smith & Royal has its own unique sound with the sexy imprint of a female front - Kelly-Marie Smith. The nods to her South London roots and half Jamaican/half Spanish roots are clear for all to hear.

Kelly-Marie may be remembered by some as 'Little Sister' having released "Way of Life" at the tender age of 12 and going on to front The Shapeshifters album 'Sound Advice' (2006).

The single "Incredible" (EMI/Positiva) was a summer smash on both Radio and A list TV stations, which led to her first Top 10 hit in March 2006, and later charting with numerous other hits.

Now the creator of Smith & Royal, it is clear that this act from London Town is ready to do its thing and walk out onto the dancefloor screaming… 'Lights, Camera. Music. War''.
