Biography

Lorenzo Smith was born on May 23, 1972 in Havana, Florida. As a child, he sang in the churches and was an avid listener of Michael Jackson, El Debarge, James Brown and Sam Cooke. In high school, Lorenzo was active and competed in sports, a fact reflected by his strong build.[1]

In 1990, Lorenzo put out his first album, Let Me Show You. The album was released with Alpha International through CEMA Records. The album's title track reached #64 on the R&B charts, while the album's other single "Tic Tok" reached #41.

On Lorenzo's eponymous sophomore effort, the song "Real Love" reached #6 on the R&B charts; followed up with "Make Love 2 Me" and "I Can't Stand The Pain." which reached #21 and #22 on the R&B charts, respectively.[2]

Lorenzo released his last album to date in 1995, after a three-year dispute with Alpha International. The album, Love On My Mind, was released on Luke Campbell's Luke Records. It had one charting single, "If It's Alright With You" which reached #41 on the R&B charts.[3]

As of 2015, Smith continues to perform and featured on the single "I Know (No More)" by Razor.[4]
