ONE was born Christopher Lee Smith II on November 13th, 1980 in Nashville, Tennessee. He had grown up part of his life in Europe and had to learn to adapt at an early stage in his life. You would guess it was hard to have to learn different cultures/languages, while keeping in mind that this was not going to be a permanent settling spot at the time in his childhood. But eventually, that all came to an end when life started changing fast because he moved back to the states in “89”. Around that time, he had started rhythming, practicing playing the trumpet, clarinet and also, the piano. It wasn’t until he was around 16 that he started to invest in his own Publishing Company for music, screen plays, and poetry that sent him towards creating his own songs. He has since done work with T.V. shows, jingles/elevator music and background music for B flick movies. These days ONE has worked with the Salt Mine Studio, Patchworks Studio, NYOKO Studio, alongside many mainstream producers like (Lil Jon, David Banner, Suave Films, Etc.…). He has also has worked with many major artists as far as producing/writing and editing tracks. Rap has always been his passion, but he says that he likes to make beats the same as he likes to rap because they go hand-in-hand really. In the future I'm sure the Music Industry will hear more from such a talented artist.

ONE’s exact words: Short, but long story. I went through a long struggle. While it sometimes can only take a short time for you to reach success, you should always count your blessing as they come. I moved back overseas after I seen that I had more distractions than motivators in the States. I wanted to see what it takes to become dependent on ONLY me. I plan to give the world great music as long as possible because we all have dreams, but it’s seldom that we wake up inside of’m.
