My dad, Jerry Smith, was a publicist for Paramount Studios. My grandfather, Paul Gerard Smith, was the hottest writer during the Vaudeville era. His father, Carlton Smith, was the first syndicated columnist in America ... heck, the whole Smith family tree is full of writers going all the way back to Ireland.

Have won three national awards as a songwriter.

Was part of the band Children in the very begining of the 'Jesus Movement' from 1969-75 and was one of the first writers to break down the walls of gospel music.
