The SMOOTHY Journey: From Roland MC303 to "New Bounce District Jerusalem"

The sound of a music store buzzing with exciting possibilities. That's where SMOOTHY found an audio marvel called the Roland MC303. Little did he know that this gadget would ignite his endless love for music. A love that has led to the sounds of his latest electrifying track, 'The New Bounce District Jerusalem.'

SMOOTHY began performing for small gatherings and intimate venues. His music had a purpose much larger than the simple thrill of foot-tapping beats. He knew that many of the values in the music industry contradicted his strong Christian beliefs, and many Christians were dancinge to tracks with little or no morals, lyrics encouraging behaviour that no sane-minded person would want to happen to their children or loved ones.

For SMOOTHY it was time to be the change. He wanted to add the essence of his faith to every beat and note, a distinction that would enrich his sound. So SMOOTHY embraced digital music and tweaked loop packs and VSTs like a blacksmith tweaks his tools. He wasn't a DJ anymore, he became a musical messenger of faith, transforming every choir shout and worship silence into synthetic melodies.

His journey had some bumps in the road. A computer crash destroyed a carefully crafted industrial/electronica metal album, a painful reminder of our fallen world. Setbacks that didn't stop SMOOTHY, because he placed his trust in God's plan and timing.

What started as DJgSmoothy became The New Amalgamation of Sound, and then he rediscovered himself in a name his Jamaican friends called him by: SMOOTHY. This name is more than a stage name; it is a vow of authenticity. It is SMOOTHY's promise to make music that isn't limited to a specific genre, bringing new sounds and echoing the sweet serenade of faith in every beat.

'New Bounce District Jerusalem' is SMOOTHY's newest masterpiece, a track that pulsates with a vibrant faith and unique vision. The beats are alive and full of divine energy. It's an invitation to experience God in the CEDM, a blend where the spiritual meets the physical. Can you hear it, or better said, can you feel it? Feel the beat of faith, a song of the promise that we're home in God.

Hailing from Southern Texas, 'New Bounce District Jerusalem' is here to help you experience that God is the perfect beat for our lives.
