background / biography
Hey Everyone,
My name is Core Smith, I was born in Edmonton Alberta and have lived there all my life. I started playing guitar when I was only 12 and a Half. I started out playing an imitation Fender made by Behringer and it was one of those cheap starter kits your parents buy you, when you first start playing. Anyways I started playing alot of punk and christian rock music. Then I started to play on a worship team at my church, this helped me learn alot about music. I have always had a passion for music but never been really into doing anytihng with music just really thought it was an amazing thing that God created. But as I grew up I learned I wanted to do something with music and that was play guitar and maybe later in life sing. So I started to play guitar in a few bands and I was slowly getting better as I went, but still not as good as many of my friends who were musically talented. And during this time my Best friend Shane Rebryna became a huge musical and just in general influence in my life. He helped me get my second guitar and gave me a drive to keep trying when I was thinking of stopping guitar. Then I decided to buy an acoustic guitar and take a class in school, I ended up quitting the class but started to play alot more acoustic guitar when I was bored at home. And thats when I started a band called "R.L.M" that has now become the band known as "Minds Eye" an Indie Punk Rock Christian band. And since that has been very succeful in all we have done, I decided to start my own acoustic project band "Wake The Dead" which is this band here. Its basically just me and my guitar and some friends that once in a while join me in some songs with back up vocals and such. Enjoy my idea of music with passion and love.
