Sy Smith is heralded as one of the hardest working women in soul music. But she's also one of the smartest. She has a career that now spans two decades! She's toured as both a supporting and a featured vocalist with some of the heaviest hitters in the industry (Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Chris Botti to name a few). She's written songs for Macy Gray, Mya, The Brand New Heavies and more. And she now has 6 albums under her belt, including her latest offering "Until We Meet Again" – her debut release on FE Music (The Foreign Exchange's Phonte Coleman serving as executive producer).
If you've never been to a Sy Smith show, prepare to be entertained – not only by her multi-layered vocal virtuosity (her range easily floats from a gritty Sly Stone to a sweet Minnie Riperton), but also by her storytelling (whether it's through her songs or her quick-witted ad libs).
Funk, glamour, soul, jazz and jams. Sy brings it all to the stage and leaves it there. Adding another feather to her cap, Sy is kick-starting her brand-new Masterclass Tour here, offering a rare look behind the curtain of her vocal and powerful brilliance.
