Spotlight on Laday Smith (@LadaySmith)
PARSONS, KANSAS—LaDay Smith is gearing up for this biggest single release yet. His latest track titled “Power” was written to inspire the masses and give hope to those who have none.
“I was listening to Young Thug. It’s based on his song. I loved his beat. I put my own words to it. It’s basically a remix,” stated Smith. “The message of that song is that you can do anything on your own. You don’t need anybody else to step in. Be your own leader.”
Smith says he drew inspiration for his latest single from his own personal struggles. His road to becoming an artist hasn’t been easy; however, he knows that anything worth achieving in life, of course, never is. Knowing this, he continues to reach for the stars.
“In the past, I’ve tried to do music with other people, but it was hard to do because they were doubting me,” explained Smith. “They didn’t think I was good enough, but now since I’m older and wiser, they understand the thing I’ve been going through. Now that I’m older now, I know that I can do anything that I put my mind to.”
Influenced by Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Drake, Trey Songz—Smith’s vocal range is hard to match. No musical note is off limits for this talented singer.
“I have a broad vocal range. I can sing very low, and I can sing very high. When people hear my voice, they’re like, ‘Oh, My Gosh! He sounds like this?’ People are like, ‘Dang, I didn’t know he could do all that,’” stated Smith.
Smith is without a doubt a triple threat and force to be reckoned with. He writes, produces and performs all of his own tunes—and has no plans to ever stop. His beautifully written lyrics are inspired by real life.
“The majority of the music that I’ve written is mostly about the relationships that I’ve been in,” stated Smith. “I talk about why it didn’t work out, why I moved on and what I’m doing with my life now.”
On a path headed toward musical success, Smith plans to be performing all over the world in the next several years and making music people can enjoy and relate to. To learn more about him, visit him on Twitter and Smule.com.
