Musician: Melody Meets Me

Introducing Melody Meets Me. A 10 year old solo project from the mind of Eric D. Smith aka Eric The Robot. Eric has self written and recorded over 800 songs in his various apartments throughout the US. From Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Seattle, and now currently residing in New York City. The musician continually creates new music and shares his creations with the world; on average he uploads 3-5 new original songs per week. Most of this music can be found online for free, search “Melody Meets Me” in your buddy google.com.

Melody Meets Me started in 1997 after Eric was involved in a near fatal car accident in Bremerton, Washington. After he regained mobility in his dominant arm  and recovered from a coma, he started playing guitar to help with his range of motion exercises. After years of daily practice, Eric’s journey led him down a path of recording and songwriting, which is now an undeniably incredible musical archive.

His recordings are noted for his rawness, so don’t expect perfection or perfect musicianship with every song. Some Melody Meets Me tracks were written and recorded in under 20 minutes. Many tracks were never rehearsed, and are the first take…without writing down lyrics. this would certainly explain some of his heart wrenching rawness on a few of his tracks.
