 Once described by Matt Sorum of Guns n’ Roses as “the future of Rock N’ Roll”!

Singer-songwriter, and renowned guitarist Brett Smith-Daniels has shared the stage with music legends:

Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones

Micky Moody of Whitesnake

Randy Bachman of BTO/The Guess Who

Since first becoming active in the music industry over a decade ago, Brett has been featured on notable works like CBC’s Dragons’ Den, Johnnie Walker's BBC Radio 2 Rock Show, and in The Independent. Performing between 220-240 gigs in an average year prior to Covid-19 as both an artist and a guitarist for hire for festivals, weddings, corporate gatherings, and private parties, Brett has established a reputation in Canada and the U.K as a musician who knows how to deliver— in terms of both talent and reliability.  

For a brief period in July 2021, Brett was the busiest working musician in Canada!

Between 2014 and 2018 Brett resided in London, England where he quickly became a popular stand-in for prominent guitarists like Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney/John Mayer) and Murray Gould (The Wanted/Take That/Elton John). During his time in London he also came under the mentorship of well-known British jazz guitarist Femi Temowo (Amy Winehouse) while completing his degree at the British Irish Modern Music Institute. Brett has now cemented himself as a staple of the Canadian music scene and is based out of Vancouver Island, Canada as a working musician, producer, guitar teacher and guitarist for hire. 

Brett is currently working on his debut LP "Disenchanted Youth", due in early 2022, with collaborators including Dan Konopka of OK Go, and Brian Lucey (Arctic Monkeys/ The Black Keys). 

Brett is proud to endorse RotoSound Strings and Graph Tech Guitar Hardware.

Whether it be playing to thousands on festival stages or gigging in venues across North America and Europe on famous stages like The Troubadour (London), Massey Hall (Toronto), The PNE (Vancouver), or Foro Bizarro (Mexico City), Brett’s 20+ years of musical experience comes to a head in his mix of rock, pop, blues and indie. With flexible rates and quick turnaround times for bookings, Brett is the perfect solo guitarist for hire or band addition for your next gig, wedding, or party.

Regardless of if you’re seeking a guitarist for hire, an artistic partnership, a music teacher for you or your child, or anything in between, reach out today to get it set up with Brett Smith-Daniels.
