Smile Smile – This Is for Real

Biography
Wanting to bring something new to the Dallas music scene, Ryan Hamilton and Jencey Hirunrusme create their own modern blend of folk, pop and rock in Smile Smile. Their songs range from heart wrenching ballads to foot stomping sing alongs. Jencey’s classical piano background teamed with Ryan’s self-taught guitar style combine to create sounds which both soar above you and pull you in tight at the same time.
“A sort of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah/Mazzy Star hybrid of sing-along folk, buzzy country-leaning tunes and uptempo/downtempo swings, with brilliantly unconventional songwriting and smart harmonies anchoring the whole deal.” Dallas Observer
Although known for their subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) back and forth jabs onstage, when the pair sing together their voices sound as if they are one. Stripping songs down to the bone and emphasizing the simplicity of beautiful music, is about the only thing the two can agree upon.
“This boy-girl duo give me goosebumps with their lovesick punch. Two voices, drum machines, a guitar and a keyboard equal undeniable chemistry. It’s emotional without being in-your-face – almost like you’re eavesdropping on some pillow talk.” Quick DFW
Curious about their relationship? Ryan describes it best.
“Jencey and I met a few years ago, dated, fell in love, wrote some songs, started our band Smile Smile, made our first record, Blue Roses, and got engaged to be married. We had a home, a life and were making plans for our future together. To say the least, that didn’t really go as planned. We broke up.
