Jaryd Smith

I was born on the East Rand of Johannesburg South Africa, I showed a love and interest in music from a very young age.

My grandfather and mother bought me my first guitar when I was six, but I only started playing when I was twelve. I studied music for four years at C.O.P.A (Campus Of Performing Arts), after which I spent three years on the road driving to every province in South Africa with my band Van Smith.

I went solo in 2015 playing and looping many instruments. I have found my passion in life and I am incredibly happy.
