Alina Smith

In February 2015, country music trade publication MusicRow announced that Smith was signed to a publishing contract with the major label publishing affiliate BMG/Chrysalis in a joint venture with Big Stage Music LLC. Her single "Free Beer" was released for sale on February 17 and selected as upcoming artist/song for play by nationwide satellite channel The Highway (Sirius XM) on its "On the Horizon" program. On March 19, Smith appeared live on the popular Bobby Bones Show podcast, playing her song "Ride".

Smith has had several connections with Japan, starting with having her cover of Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" released in that country in 2010 on a Jackson tribute CD. Later that year, Sony Japan picked her composition "Fallin' 4 U" to be the debut single from the artist Aisha, which included a rap contribution from Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC. In April, 2011, Smith's own production of her song "Kissing Tree" was selected for a compilation CD released to raise relief funds after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Aisha and DMC performed "Fallin' 4 U" in Central Park, New York City, in June, 2011.

In 2009, Smith was chosen to perform Alan Roy Scott's "Love Is The Answer" in Beijing at a concert broadcast throughout China on the country's primary television network, CCTV. In 2010, with a backing band, Smith performed two original songs and attained first place out of hundreds of competing Southern California musicians in KTLA-TV (Channel 5)'s "Battle of the Bands" contest.
