Keith Smith
(1952 - 2019)
From an early age Keith showed a great talent in music. He started to write and produce his own music at age 8.Self taught, he could play any instrument to a high standard, including -
drums, keyboards, guitar, piano, flute, trumpet, bass as well as some more exotic instruments like the sitar and tabla
Keith played in bands as a young teen, he was very keen to get involved with many music projects including his own solo projects. Writing music for over a decade. He finally released a mega album - but sadly didn't get chance to finish the final touches and release it to the world before he passed.
Up until his mid years, Keith had a happy life, a happy home life and had an array of musical and non musical friends. Of which he spent many of years sharing his life with. Unfortunately, these times took a turn, his health and home life took a much more darker root as he suffered with Cancer. He also looked after his son Nicholas who was gravely ill for quite sometime. His pure love for his children always took the precedent over his health, which is what ultimately shortened his life.
Keith released 4 albums that is part of one project Circuses On Mars which includes nearly 50 songs all of which he wrote, produced, played and sung on all of them using both digital and acoustic instruments. He wanted each track to be different from the next, as every track has a different genre.
Most tracks where finished and all that was needed was for them to be mixed and mastered. But some where just in the early stages. Jasmine his daughter (also a musician - taught by her father) finalised his album and did what needed to be done to get his concept album out there.Knowing what her father wanted she completed the final stages, mixed and mastered the album.
