(Laughs) I had sort of a tough childhood and beginning, I was really just trying to survive out there.
That is that 10,000 thing I guess, where you just have to do something over and over. I never told anyone, so it was a secret journey for a while although it was not too secret for my family because I just sang constantly and it annoyed everybody. I never really confessed to anyone for a while, but I probably knew even at seven that I wanted to sing. Even before that, I remember being obsessed with my mother’s record collection. I guess in the beginning, as a kid, my mom ran some coffee houses in the Village, so I was around music all the time. First, briefly tell us, how would you describe your journey in music? From your early success with Scandal to your solo career, you have certainly left a lasting impression. Recently we caught up with the talented musician to talk the roads she has travelled, fighting for her own creative vision in the music business, songwriting, and so much more.Ĭ – You have been involved in Rock-n-Roll for nearly four decades. Stepping back from it all, Smyth’s love for music never dissipated, and now in 2018 she is set to return with some brand new music that has been years in the making! Kicking off the new year with two shows at City Winery in her hometown of Manhattan on January 14th and 15th, Smyth is just getting warmed up for what she has in store for the new year. Destine to rock, in the 1980s she rose to fame as a powerful, passionate vocalist fronting the band Scandal while burning up Billboard charts with songs such as 1982’s “Goodbye To You” and 1984’s “The Warrior.” Going on to a solo career, reaching the Top 10 with the 1992 hit single “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough,” Smyth continued to earn respect and love from many fans, yet overall, still remained rather underappreciated in the music world. Born and raised in New York, Smyth has had music running through her veins all her life.
Other stars refuse to fizzle out, eager to come roaring back as bright as ever, and that would fittingly describe Patty Smyth. Some stars fade quietly, gone into darkness, never to be seen again.
