Interview with Grammy-nominated songwriter Jeanine Smith

What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? I have been singing solos since preschool. Even as a 3 year old I was always chosen as a soloist in choir. That trend continued through grade school, high school and college. Then one day a young lady named Shamora Crawford told me I had a radio friendly voice while we were attending Clark Atlanta University. That resonated with me deeply and I never forgot that. So after college I went to Philadelphia for the weekend to sing at The Five Spot. A signed artist named Anthony Hamilton walked up to me after I performed outside of the venue and I ended up moving to New York days later without going back to Chicago to get my things. I stayed for 8 years and ended up making a career for myself as a songwriter.
