Working with musicians, creative entrepreneurs, small businesses and community organizations has given me the opportunity to connect with some amazing people.
Helping people grow in their relationships for more success is my passion, not just my business.
Here are some of the testimonials from both musicians and young professionals who have worked with me and share their experiences.


“As an artist who is currently running my own business as well as working multiple day jobs, it’s easy to fall behind on day to day administrative tasks.
D Grant Smith is excellent at sending kind but firm reminders to complete those tasks and has many useful ideas about how to make a musician’s life easier.
I highly recommend working with D Grant. He is creative, easy to talk to, makes good plans, and follows through on them!”

“D. Grant Smith is a pioneer in this brave new world. His expertise, ideas and true zeal for good music are assets to anyone trying to stand out in an ever-leveling music environment.
