Smith’s recent USA Today, Yahoo! Music, and Billboard-acclaimed studio album, “A Million Lights and Parade,” and Good Morning America-featured and Grammy-nominated live worship album, “Surrounded,” have together become his 30th and 31st Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart, more than any other solo artist in history.
His most recent album, “Still Vol. 1,” is an atmospheric listening experience of improvisational music coupled with inspirational scriptures. More than just an outstanding songwriter and performer, Smith has given back to the global community throughout his career.
