Brett Smith
Brett Smith (IG @lokiandlulu) is a vocalist, writer, and musician of the band, Smith & Dragoman (www.smithanddragoman.com). If you've never heard their music, I highly recommend you check them out. Their music transcends time and genres. With their layered and textured melodies, they embed profound stories aligned their faith as Baha'is and even connects with people beyond religion at a deeply spiritual level.
I still remember the first time I met Brett. He was playing a solo acoustic set at a mutual friends home. And I remember as he played, my fiancee Janet and I kept looking at each other in awe. Brett radiated peace, joy, generosity, and love. And we were definitely moved by his performance and presence.
You're likely to run into Brett at countless Zoom gatherings in the Baha'i community either sharing a prayerful song, delivering a talk on the role of creator/artist, or you might catch him mid-sparring session donning his gi and blackbelt in Karate!
He's always cracking people up with his humour or sending people into deep thought with his observations, as he sips his coffee or is elbow deep in a bag of Smartfood.
I've gotten to know Brett and his incredible family and must say they are a huge source of warmth and inspiration to both me and Janet.
Brett is a husband, father, and someone whose become a dear friend and someone who I consider a mentor and always leave our conversations with countless insights, lessons, and a sense of groundedness and peace.
Ladies and gentleman, I'm honoured to share with you my conversation with, Brett Smith.
Brett, welcome to the show!
