Andre Young, known by his stage name SmileZ, is an up-and-coming artist ready to take the music world by storm. Born in Vero Beach, FL, he now resides in Cincinnati, OH showcasing his love for music. Having a mother and father who met by being in county rival bands, he was destined to also pursue music at some point in his life. After graduating high school, he joined the United States Marine Corps where he would meet the friends who changed his life. He was introduced to electronic music in 2016 and convinced to go to his very first music festival in late 2017. After seeing what the community had to offer over the next few years, he decided to contribute. His music now sooths the listeners ears with powerful melodic chords and heartfelt vocals.

INFO

Outer Village is a Copenhagen-based estate of electronic artists with common grounds in pushing deep-end electronica. It’s a collective of producers with an experimental outlook inspired by alien grooves, ambivalent ambience, noise-infused soundscapes and broken breakbeats.
A crucial part of its identity is an insistence on an eclectic approach, encouraging fresh and original blends in styles.

Expect deep drum and bass, breaks, bass-oriented and everything in between in forward thinking electronica.
