This is his breakthrough single, and it continues to gain traction at the country radio airwaves. A native of Alexandria, Louisiana, Smith has embarked on a radio tour to support this new release. It is the ideal summer country song that one can listen to as they roll their windows down. His vocals are rich and refreshing.
Smith noted in a press statement that the first time that he ever heard his song on the radio, he was at a packed bar, and it was played in the middle of a DJ set, and the audience there had reacted really well to it.
“Load It Up” is the lead single from Smith’s debut EP, F.O.M.O., which stands for “Fear of Missing Out.” The EP was recorded at Nashville’s Blackbird Studios with producer Ryan Sutton. Throughout his career in the country scene, Smith has opened for such diverse artists as Brett Eldredge and Uncle Kracker.
