Bio

THISISGRAEME, AKA Graeme Smith, is a New Zealand-based artist and producer recognised for his eclectic blend of downtempo vintage-sounding synthesisers, world music influences, ethereal ambient melodies, vibrant rock and roll energy, and infectious drum and bass beats.

His cinematic compositions, inspired by personal experiences, create introspective soundscapes that explore themes of self-discovery, growth, and overcoming adversity.

Tracks like Chimp Out! and Now You’re In Deep showcase his ability to seamlessly blend genres and create high-energy, rhythmically complex music.

Other notable songs include the recent Drum & Drummer, and collaborative pieces such as Surf Sisters (Return of the Surfer Girl Lo-Fi Trip Mix) with Bianca Rae and Why the Blues Got to Be so Sad with Paul Foulds.

With a discography that spans several albums and EPs, we’ve set an ambitious goal to release 20 albums of original music over the next two decades. Check out the first three:

THISISGRAEME’s creative reach extends beyond music. He’s also a writer, educator, and maker, displaying a passion for creativity and helping others learn and grow.

This holistic approach to art and life permeates his music, which is always evolving as he experiments with different sounds and styles, pushing the boundaries of musical norms.
