Smith titles her music “Jazzfunksoultry” a unique blend of jazz, funk, R&B, and poetry.  Born in Brooklyn raised in Queens, New York Shoshana does not just give you spoken word, but creatively meshes her soulful singing style with sassy lyrics and live musicians.  Smith explains, “working with live musicians is wonderful, it gives me a chance to recreate my songs from its original structure which I feel enhances and gives new feeling to the CD and makes the show more personal.”

Shoshana believes life offers many challenges and she manages to cleverly express those subject matters through her intoxicating word play and raw, but real topics.  Her debut CD titled “Sassy Lady” takes you on a musical journey from start to finish, exploring all that life has to offer such as, Cheating lovers, finding your soul mate, politics, masturbation, life after death and toxic people are just a few topics this sassy lady will artistically explore.

 

Shoshana Smith is a singer song writer/Poet and spoken word artist who originally started her career in print journalism.  After majoring in journalism in college Smith became a freelance journalist for the Norwich Bulletin a Connecticut newspaper where she wrote featured stories for the Sunday Edition.  Although her articles made the paper each week Smith's editor and Chef would complain that her writing delivery was to colorful and ask her where does she herself in five years.

Shoshana realized that writing about other people's lives was nice but writing about her own experiences allowed her to be as colorful and outrages as she wanted to be and in 1998 she went to her first Poetry Slam.  After jumping into the Connecticut, Boston and New York's poetry scene Smith found herself performing with some of the Hottest Poets the East cost has to offer.

“My Thoughts”

“So many artists write about shit they can’t even relate to, thinking that’s what their audience wants to hear.  We as artist need to stop short changing our audiences and give them the respect and the credit they deserve”.
