Smith was originally hired as a saxophonist when Blur toured with a brass section in 1994. He later returned to Blur in the 2000s, playing saxophone on the song "Jets" from the Think Tank (2003) album and joining the Think Tank tour as musical director and keyboardist, a role he has reprised for the band on all of their tours since.[1]

Gorillaz

Smith has been keyboardist and musical director in the Gorillaz live band since 2001.[1] He has been the only constant member of the Gorillaz live band since the band's debut, other than Damon Albarn.

Alongside Albarn, Smith co-composed and arranged the score for The Kid Who Would Be King as well as the award-winning Broken (2012 film) starring Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy.

Smith won a Royal Television Society regional award in 2013 for Best Music for his score to 8 Minutes Idle.[5] He worked with Christoph Bauschinger to score The Exchange (2021 film).

Documentary film composing includes ‘Last Stop Coney Island: The Life and Photography of Harold Feinstein’, ‘Madeleine – One Year On’, and ‘Betrayal’ (Scott Calonico 2019 Tribeca Film Festival).

Smith was also a co-music producer for Aardman’s 2018 animated feature A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon.[6]
