I am thrilled to announce that I have been honored with the prestigious title of Best Instrumental Drummer of the Year at the esteemed Blues Music Awards! It is an incredible achievement that I am truly grateful for.
Receiving this recognition is a dream come true. It is a testament to my dedication, passion, and love for the blues music scene. Over the years, I have poured my heart and soul into perfecting my drumming skills and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in this genre.
Being able to seamlessly fuse different styles of blues music and create unique rhythms has been my driving force. I have had the privilege of collaborating with legendary artists, including my late father, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, who was also a revered blues drummer. Their influence and guidance have shaped me into the musician I am today.
This award is not only a personal achievement but also a recognition of the profound impact of my drumming on the blues music community. I am humbled and honored to be able to contribute to a genre that has given me so much joy and fulfillment.
