Biography
Elliott Smith is 57 years old, a singer, from United States.
Steven Paul Smith (August 6, 1969 – October 21, 2003), known as Elliott Smith, was an American musician and singer-songwriter. Raised primarily in Texas, he lived much of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he gained popularity in the 1990s. Smith's primary instrument was the guitar, though he also played piano, clarinet, bass guitar, drums, and harmonica.
His work was distinguished by his "whispery, spiderweb-thin" vocal style, his "artful chord changes," and his themes of "addiction, depression, and alienation." . The NME described him as a "widely adored singer-songwriter," who "touched countless lives with his compelling musicianship and lyricism." After playing in the rock band Heatmiser for several years, Smith began his solo career in 1994, with releases on the independent record labels Cavity Search and Kill Rock Stars (KRS).
In 1997, he signed a contract with DreamWorks Records, for which he recorded his final two albums.
