Biography

Smith was adopted at birth by a pastor and his wife. She has a brother and two sisters (Shannon, Kim and Don), and she grew up on Long Island, where she developed a passion for music and began singing at an early age. After her mother's death from cancer in 1991, Smith moved with her father to Knoxville, Tennessee and, in 1994, she moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.

Rise to fame

Smith rose to fame in 2003 when she was the first artist signed to contribute to the Dolly Parton tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman. Her contribution to the project was a cover of Parton's classic "Jolene". Dolly Parton followed by adding backing vocals to a new mix of the song, which was then featured on Smith's debut album that was released in January 2004, One Moment More.

"Come To Jesus" was Smith's second single and biggest hit, receiving airplay on country music, Christian, AAA and adult contemporary radio. The song charted at #32 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart. "One Moment More" was the album's final single.

In 2004 Smith appeared at the long-established Cambridge Folk Festival in the United Kingdom, which was broadcast nationally on BBC radio.

During her tour supporting One Moment More, Smith regularly sang a cover of Susan Ashton's song "no one Knows My Heart", which Smith has not yet released on an album.

Back to Long Island Shores

In October 2006, Smith released her first single from her second album, Out Loud. The song was well-received by AAA rock radio and CMT. On January 10, 2007, she performed "Please Stay" on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

Smith included Buddy Miller as a duet vocalist for "What If the World Stops Turning".

My Holiday

In October 2007, Smith released a Christmas album, My Holiday. In addition to several standards, Smith wrote six original Christmas-themed songs. One standout, "I Know the Reason", includes duet vocals by Thad Cockrell.

Stupid Love

According to Paste Magazine, Smith's next studio album will be released in August 2009 and entitled Stupid Love1.
