Early life

John Lee Smith was born on February 14, 1976 in San Diego, California, to mother Mary Jane Smith (née, Barber) and father Carl Avery Smith.[1][2][3] His father was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, and died in 2007.[4] His mother is his business manager.[5][6] Smith lives on his family farm in Unionville, Tennessee named "The Kuntry Ranch", which is just outside of Shelbyville, Tennessee.[7]

Music career

Smith started his musical endeavors in 1999, but did not release an album for three years.[3][8] He released Kuntry Kitchen with Yayoda Records in 2002. His next two releases were released on Smo & Money Records, 2003's The Audio Biography and 2004's Monument Society.[7][8] Then, he released another album with Yayoda in 2007 entitled The True South.[7][8] His last self-released album was entitled American Made, released in 2010.[7] Also in 2010, his homemade music video "Kickin' It in Tennessee" went viral, garnering over five million views on YouTube.[3][9] He released two EPs with Warner Bros.
