Breeze Smith plays drums, percussion and creates electronic live-looping. An improvisational drummer, instrument designer/builder, visual artist/designer and sound sculptor, he has completed several commissions for sculptures, paintings, designs and soundtracks.

His growing interest in experimental/improvised music and his ever-expanding search for new sounds led him to incorporate his metal sound sculptures into his drum/percussion universe.

Breeze says his journey of musical expression has gifted him with opportunities to create with so many including Dwight Trible, Stan Smith, Scott Heustis, David Ornette Cherry, Justo Almario, Ralph Miles Jones lll, Roberto Miranda, Neneh Cherry, Rod Poole, Hannibal Lakumbe, Dianne McIntyre, Roger Hines, Dwight Trible, Trevor Ware, John Beasley, Billy Childs, Charles Owen, Maggie Brown, Eric Barber, Tony Green, Andre Caporaso, Thomas Hamasu, Eddie Ray & Co, Willie Pooch Blues Band AND duos with his wife, dancer/vocalist Cheryl Banks-Smith.
