A place to think out loud, in writing...
Backstage is where I share the thoughts, influences, and moments that shape my music — from creative process and production, to the artists, ideas, and experiences that continue to spark curiosity. It’s a place for reflection, storytelling, and the quieter observations that curiosity leads to.

Why Genesis deserves far more respect than they often receive.

My name is Brad Goldsmith - though for most of my life, it wasn’t.

I teamed up with Ron Smith during the winter of 2021 to record what we initially thought would be a few songs. As tends to happen when Ron and I work together, those few songs quickly turned into a full album.

By my late teens, I realized I wasn’t built to stay within one genre. Good music is good music, and anything that makes me want to pick up an instrument and sing along feels like home.
