Mr. Smilez is the poster child for perseverance. Since he was a youth, the Hip Hop artist had a dream to make music for others to enjoy, and he had the good fortune of seeing that dream come to fruition when he first came on the scene as half of the duo Smilez & Southstar. Their debut CD, Crash the Party, sold over 300,000 copies through the popularity of their single “Tell Me” (What’s Going On). The song landed them a top 40 spot on the Billboard music charts, interviews on BET’s Rap City video countdown, performances on BET’s 106 & Park, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Soul Train, and Jenny Jones. They also graced the covers of “RIGHT ON”,“OZONE” and “FRESH” magazine and had widely distributed interviews with XXL, Allhiphop.com, MTV.com, BET.com and many others. This success led to them being dubbed as one of the firsts to put Orlando, FL, on the Hip Hop map. Unfortunately, their fame faded quickly as the two became entangled in a unfavorable record deal and ceased releasing albums as they struggled to be released. Eventually, their unhappiness came to an end and the two were free to record once more. However, Smilez and Southstar decided to take a hiatus from one another and pursue individual projects.



Mr. Smilez looked at these new developments as opportunities, rather than adversities, and hit the ground running. He hasn’t looked back since. Whether you call it making up for lost time or just trying hard to make it, Orlando’s native son was determined to bask in the spotlight once more. He is now getting his shine on with the assistance of production virtuoso Dakari and Ini Odong of Dream House Records. The release of his debut solo CD, The Sponge is long overdue but still right on time. The name is derived from an analogy. A sponge has many small pockets and crevices that allow it to soak up liquid and make it virtually impossible to determine at first glance how much it contains. Well, like a sponge, Smilez spent his down time soaking up his surroundings and honing his craft. Now, the time has come to “wring out” his words and once again distribute them to the masses within his music. The world will be astounded at what he has inside. The songs on The Sponge are a direct reflection of Mr. Smilez-- cool, sexy, stylish and clever. His signature fast-pace flow of well-versed verbiage is complemented by futuristic beats and stellar production throughout.



Mr. Smilez describes himself as a storyteller and his latest offering spins tales of endurance, love and living the good life. The first single, “Automatic” proves that he is still a top contender in the Hip Hop arena and his second single, “Nite Life,” featuring R&B sensation Lloyd, shows he has the fortitude to stay there. If the beginning of his resurgence is any indication of the end, he will certainly live Happily Ever After.



In addition to being an artist, Mr. Smilez is an ambassador for cancer research and treatment. In 2007, he began the Smilez Runs Orlando Foundation in honor of his mother, who died of colon cancer in 2001. In order to help prevent others from losing a loved one to this terrible disease, he participated in a marathon benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and raised $10,000. He described training and completing the task, the hardest and most rewarding thing he has ever done.



Talented in more ways than one, Mr. Smilez is ready to run once again, but this time his goal is Hip Hop industry domination. We suggest you move out of his way because there’s no stopping him. First it was Orlando, now it’s the world!
