About Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith, born Steven Paul Smith, was an American singer-songwriter whose hauntingly beautiful music continues to captivate fans worldwide. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, and raised in Texas, Smith spent much of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he honed his distinctive sound. His music is characterized by his delicate, whispery vocals and intricate guitar work, often layered with harmonies and textures created through multi-tracking. Smith's songwriting was deeply personal and poetic, drawing from his own experiences and struggles, including childhood abuse and substance abuse. His discography spans from lo-fi beginnings to major-label releases, each album offering a unique glimpse into his evocative lyricism and affecting presence. Tragically, Smith's life was cut short in 2003 at the age of 34, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and resonate with music enthusiasts. His final album, "From a Basement on the Hill," was released posthumously, serving as a poignant reminder of his enduring talent.
