So ,hello to everyone here, I like to introduce myself.
I´m John Smyths,(like Smiths but with an Y) born Dutch, living in Germany. I´m a countrysinger, singing mostly traditional country . Since I´m singing, I´ve produced covers from Alan Jackson to Hal Ketchum and from George Strait to Chris Stapleton. You can find my songs on YouTube: @johnsmyths2068. I´ve decided to go my own way and wrote a few songs, which are now played everywhere on the internet. “Now I´m Wiser” is an uptempo lifetime story and “Last Night” is a ballad about wishful thinking and meeting your idols. When I recorded a cover from Hal Ketchum (who covered it from Vince Gill) named “Lovin´you makes me a better Man” it went wild and I got awarded by the Red Carpet Award Show in Europe, held in the Netherlands in 2025. Also in 2025, I was in “the Voice of Germany” didn´t got far though and was in Berlin for the European Tour Music Fest, where I ended in the semifinals. At the end of this year 2025, I´ve joined the TexasCountry Music Association, the International Western Music Association Tennessee Chapter and the BGJ Promotion Group, led by Beverly Jenkins, as an ATEAM Gold Member. And now, as a result of that, also on this site (Musicians Domain), thanks to GIl Bennett. 2026 will be a busy year. First, there´ll be the kick off for the Cashbox Magazine (Beverly, thanks a lot, hun) and I´ll be recording 3 more songs of my own (starting in April.) In March, I´ll go to Vienna, to do a song with other Countrysingers plus Video. There´ll be more duets to come and also some performances. And hopefully, there will be an album coming in 2026!!

So, yeah, looking forward
