Short Bio

 

Rob Smith is a worship leader, singer/songwriter, and maker from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He pulls inspiration from a number of different artistic streams in his woodsy, worshipful expression of songs to and about his Maker. It is his hope that his blend of indie worship, singer/songwriter, and rock sonic fingerprints birthed from a place of prayer, creates space that helps others gain new language for and to explore the mysteries and heart of God. His artistic vision is to marry together the conversations that happen with God on a Sunday morning with the deep conversations that happen around a bonfire with friends  in the late hours of the night.

 

His first album and first ever recorded release is titled “Holy Noise” (2023).  It is a self-recorded and produced offering of worship that also explores a plethora of human experiences such as loss, existential questions and observations, joy, love, worship, and parenthood through the lens of faith. The title comes from holding all of those human experiences together in tension through worshiping God as well as the Biblical call to “make a joyful noise.” Holy Noise is also representative of  the sonic nature of the album. It is Rob’s prayer that Holy Noise would help believers of Jesus encounter Him through the noise of everyday life, as well as helping them discover their permission to worship authentically.
