Smartzee

Smartzee is a boundary-pushing artist from Benin who first made waves on the international scene with his feature on Nâdiya’s hit single “Et c’est parti,” which held a top 5 spot on the French charts for 22 weeks. He followed that success with another chart-topper, “Tous ces mots,” and went on to collaborate with artists like Gilles Luka, Ocean Drive, and Clara Morgane. Whether writing, performing, or lending his voice to major projects, Smartzee brings a unique blend of West Coast flair and heartfelt lyricism to everything he touches.

His new album, LEGACY, out April 28th, is his most personal work yet — an honest, reflective body of music shaped by love, loss, growth, and resilience. With standout tracks like “Back Down,” Smartzee proves he's not chasing trends; he’s telling his truth, one beat at a time
