"Music Without Pictures" is the stage name of American composer / producer / songwriter Bill Smith, who also goes by “SHOE” from his days in radio and radio image production. He adopted the name “Music Without Pictures” to be more memorable than his real name, for all of his music projects. His musical style is very much electronic and computer-based in nature. After trying his hand with bands (and the attitudes they bring) in Los Angeles and St Louis, He set off on his own into the production side of music as well as radio imaging, and working with and for some of the best in the country. Now he brings his style and sensibilities to the brave new world of film scoring.

Born and raised in Mesquite, Texas, country crooner and multi instrumentalist Craig Wayne Boyd moved to Nashville with big dreams and a bellowing voice. He spent ten years working those late night honky tonks until fate stepped in and dealt him one heck of a hand. America fell in love on their living room couches as they eagerly watched CWB win season 7 of The Voice with unforgettable versions of “Workin’ Man Blues”, “Old Rugged Cross” and “I Walk the Line”. “The show was like pouring rocket fuel on your career and I had to build a solid foundation to land on” says Boyd of the experience. With hundreds of solo performances under his belt, Craig has now joined forces with season 10 runner up from The Voice Adam Wakefield and American Idol season 9 runner up Casey James to form the vocal supergroup Texas Hill.
