Daniel “D Smoke” Farris is a three-time GRAMMY-nominated musician, actor, and author.
In 2021, he released his sophomore album, War & Wonders, to critical acclaim. War & Wonders spotlights poignant themes, necessary social commentary, and the hurdles we overcome in order to appreciate what we have in this life. For Smoke, he showcases Inglewood’s war on losing love, being in love, and battling himself as he is always being led in different directions. It is a continuous journey of learning, growing, self-discovery, and reinventing a better version of himself.
Smoke gained global notoriety in 2019 as champion and undisputed breakout star of Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow. Smoke showcased himself as a raw lyricist, classically trained musician, and cultural activist with “something to say”. His debut full-length album, Black Habits, boasts features from Snoop Dogg, Jill Scott, Ari Lennox, his brothers SiR and Davion Farris, and late mother, Jackie Gouché. The album’s critical acclaim earned a 2021 GRAMMY-nomination for Best Rap Album, and his ability to enter into the public consciousness in an impactful way earned him a second 2021 GRAMMY-nomination, Best New Artist. D Smoke also received a NAACP Image Award Nomination for Outstanding New Artist. As a Black, Bilingual Rapper, Musician, and CEO, Smoke utilizes his lived experiences to create music and opportunities that bridge the cultural gaps seemingly present between Black and Brown communities, and the have and have-nots.
