Reinhart Smit - Bass Guitarist | Pretoria, Gauteng

Biography

“A lot of things in life happen by coincidence. But for me, music was in my blood. If it wasn't for my father, I wouldn't have been where I am now.
Where am I? I am in a place of being confident and being content, because I have music. I am blessed with the ability to be a part of one of the most important things in music – the rhythm section.
I am a bass guitarist, and I am fully and contentedly that.”
As a young South African, Reinhart Smit grew up in a world of diverse culture, combined with a variety of music. With ho limitations in taste, Reinhart has always been interested ... in interesting music. But at the same time, even the most simple of music has been intriguing for him.
His playing style is simple yet interesting, with emphasis on the low notes. Reinhart mainly uses finger playing and 5 string basses.
Trained at Campus of Performing Arts in Pretoria, Reinhart understands the diversity and complexity of music theory, even though he is not the most avid sight reader. However, when it comes to cord charts and the Nashville number system, he understands the harmony that goes hand in hand with playing bass.
Reinhart has no specific limitations to genre, but is rather drawn more to blues, rock, contemporary pop, and folk. At the end of the day, music is the relationship between two notes and the satisfaction it bring to your ears, and not the label it is limited to.
At the moment Reinhart spends his time travelling the world as both a music and English teacher to foreign speakers. Thus, travelling to another country to live and work would be absolutely essential.
Why should Reinhart be a good choice for you and your band?
Well, its all about personal preference. At the end of the day, a band is about the team it is represented by. Reinhart, however, will not disappoint with stage charisma, professional musical ability, punctuality, and being a hard-working musician. Read More
