FITUMI is the solo moniker of veteran songwriter Chris Smith. FITUMI - an acronym for “Fake It Til U Make It” - was inspired by his father. Early in FITUMI's career, as he transitioned from life as an Army Intelligence Officer to full-time songwriter, his father would joke, “You can't be afraid to get out there. You either have to fail until you make it, or fake it until you make it. Usually a bit of both.” That advice not only inspired the FITUMI moniker, but it’s the heart and soul of his music. Music that echoes that in life you can’t be afraid to take chances, try new things, fail, and get back up. You can't be afraid to be a former soldier, turned songwriter, turned artist. You just have to FITUMI.
His debut EP “Know Who I Am,” featuring the breakout single “The Storm,” released in 2020 and introduced FITUMI as a formidable voice on the alternative rock and pop scene. He's since been featured by Spotify, Apple Music, Hype Machine, Indie Obsessive, and SPIN, and his music has been heard on ABC, NBC, USA, MTV, Showtime, and HGTV. FITUMI said of his music, “I want to make relatable music inspired from my experiences. I want to offer motivation to all those daring to be different and fighting for a better tomorrow, and I want to offer support and encouragement for those out here taking big risks, making big moves and getting back up, and dusting themselves off when they fail. I hope to be a part of the soundtrack for everyday people fighting the everyday battles."
