Geoff's Thoughts on Charity

"Have you ever been thinking that you want to do something that makes a difference for the world? You get all fired up and ready to do something, and then when faced with all the different types of needs that all the people have in this world, you have no idea where to start or where to devote your time.

That is me in a nutshell. I feel like I am just one person and how could I possible make a difference? I was recently reminded, however, of the idea that you can change the world, one person at a time. I don’t have to be a political leader, involved on some big movement, or even in the spotlight trying to take on more than I can handle, but I could be doing one small thing for one small person and that has already begun the domino effect of change. After all the big picture is completely out of my hands, all I can do is all I can do.

That is how I felt drawn to Songs of Love. They are so simple in what they do, providing a personalized song for a child who is ill or in some other need. I am not a great activist, I am not a great leader, I am not even a wealthy philanthropist, but I do know how to write songs and I believe that is my calling. And if that is the one small thing that I can do to help bring change and goodness to the world, then I will do it.Songs of Love does need continuous help to function, since they are a non-profit. But I really want to make this charity known to all songwriters everywhere, because that is really where this charity needs help. In my busy life I try to write as many songs for Songs of Love, but they still need more songwriters. Aside from donating to this charity, I hope that I can bring more awareness to what a great thing a songwriter could do for just one person at a time."

Geoff Smith

Most of you probably know Geoff from his jingles heard on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code Podcast, GeekBrief.tv, Radio Lingua Network, Tips from The Top Floor, ScreenCasts Online and the successful iYule project.

Geoff Smith was born in December 1972 and is an independent artist based out of Nashville TN. His massively catchy power pop styles are reminiscent of the Beatles, Ben Folds and Squeeze. Geoff began composing jingles and theme songs for podcasters back in 2005 and has written hundreds and hundreds and the list keeps growing.

Themes and jingles for podcasts includes: Pod Save The Queen, Heterosexual Moment on Pacific Coast Hellway, My Marilyn, Pete and Rene’s Happy Hour, The Go Daddy Commercial for DSC, Zee and Zed’s Shopping at Target, and he is currently working with several podcasters with their themes and jingles. Please get in touch if you are interested in having jingles or themes produced.

Where can I see Geoff live?

Geoff has been Entertainment Director of the Big Bang Piano Bars for several years and he is performing live several nights every week at The Big Bang Bar in Nashville TN, and has also worked as an engineer and producer at Studio East in Charlotte, NC. Geoff is also the keyboard player for the Nashville based power pop band, Codaphonic as well as the bassist and lead singer with Chicago based Police Tribute Band, One World. Check for details about the next performance on the dedicated tribute site. If you are out at a karaoke bar somewhere, you will probably hear Geoff singing background with you as he is also currently providing his vocal talents to many of the top karaoke tracks out there today. Finally, Geoff Smith has been singing with the IMpressions, the old motown group. They have been on the top 10 on the southern soul/beach music charts for the past few years with the song “Rhythm”. They were even up for song of the year at the Beach Music Awards in 2007.
