My
name is Beth. I was born: Elizabeth Harrington Smith
on September 21, 1963, and I'm the lyricist and
lead vocalist of 180 <+> OUT. My home is Winchester,
Virginia by birth and Washington by heart. I can’t
list my years of experience and credits as I have
none; although I’ve always loved to sing.
My musical journey began in the spring of 2002,
when I was given a message from God to relay to
the people of this nation. I was told that I was
going to learn a new language, but at the time did
not realize that the language was music. God is
love and music is the language of love. What a beautiful
way for God to communicate to His children! Since
that time two years ago, I’ve written lyrics
to over eighty songs and composed music to over
twenty of them. I can also play the piano now, but
only the songs that I write. God is truly amazing!
My songs are very personal and are born from my
experiences and heartbreaks that I endured during
my life of sin. I was a runaway at the age of fourteen
who went through the Hell of drug addiction, prison,
divorce, mental illness, and the worst Hell of all,
loneliness. I have told lies, stolen, cheated, sold
drugs and made drugs. There is no sin that I am
not guilty of and I have even committed murder because
that is what abortion is. Then, by the grace of
God, I was healed and given a new spirit. Along
with this healing came the gift of music with which
I am to relay God’s messages. I believe that
my songs will touch the hearts of many as we have
all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
In falling short we have all felt the heartache
and suffering that accompany sin. I was given many
messages to relay but the greatest one was LOVE.
BRADY BOOTH is the composer and performer on "Catch
Me Wings" and "Where? Why? What? When?".
He popped up on my instant message window one day
and the rest, as they say....Will be history! It
was really cool because we both felt the hand of
God putting us together from the very beginning.
WAY cool! I've been bugging Brady to send me his
bio information for a while now. LOL! Ever the modest
Brady. I really do like him! He lives in Temple,
Texas which I THINK is outside of Austin. He was
born on July 17, 1952. So how old does that make
him? AND the man is a musical genious.....he can
make a guitar sing....literally sing! He has a rare
gift and I am blessed to be able to create music
with him.
