Carole King, J.P. Williams, Irene Williams, Joel Lindsey, Wayne Haun, Craig Monday, Sue Smith, Simon Hawkins, Kevin Stokes, Tony Wood, Allen Haynes, Rebecca Payne, Jim Brumley...wait, did you mean ONLY musical influences? I think I strayed from the original question...

I suppose the most accurate way to describe myself is that I write the songs that make a few people sing...here and there...upon occasion. With that being said, I’ve been very lucky and already have had more success than I would have been happy with. That doesn’t stop me, though. I have a deep love of good gospel music and I always will. I’m passionately pursuing country writing now, though, and it seems to be going well. Again, I rely on the generousity of those more talented than I, and they continue to amaze me. So, while Nashville continues to be kind to me, I’ll continue to play here and there and write a whole lot. And, hopefully, you’ll come out to a show and find something that you may want to sing along with...
In the meantime, here’s the ’official’ statement that you’d read about me in somewhere. I didn’t write it--feels too pretentious, but my brother thought I should put it up here:
Belinda Smith is a Dove Award Winning songwriter. She has been writing since 1997 when she moved to Nashville from West Virginia. Along with her Dove Award for 2004 Bluegrass Recorded Song of the Year, her songs have received several Dove nominations and enjoyed many other award nominations.

Belinda has cuts by artists ranging from FFH to Gaither. Belinda has served on songwriting faculties across the country.

Once in a great while a moment passes by that shouldn’t be forgotten, a moment that makes believers out of the most stubborn doubters. I wish this moment to be that one magical, special instant in time when you know beyond all doubt that you have all you need to succeed!

Oh my gosh I cannot believe I got to see THE Belinda Smith the other night. I have been on an absolute high since Tuesday night. I love you Belinda, your one of the greatest.
