D Smoke Booking Agency Profile
D Smoke, an artist from Inglewood, California who specializes in socially conscious street narratives meant to uplift, became well-known after becoming the inaugural champion of the reality rap competition Rhythm + Flow. However, by that point, the bilingual multi-instrumentalist (guitar, drums and piano) had already been active on the scene for more than ten years as a songwriter and an underground figure who had drawn inspiration from gospel singers Kirk Franklin and Yolanda Adams as well as West Coast predecessors Kurupt and Snoop Dogg.
D Smoke, who bridges genres and the Black and Latinx communities, has taught Spanish and music theory at his alma mater, Inglewood High School, for many years. He released his formal debut, the Grammy-nominated Black Habits, not long after winning Rhythm + Flow.
The California emcee was raised in a musical family. His mother, gospel singer Jackie Gouche-Farris, sang backup for Michael Jackson and Anita Baker in addition to having an uncle who played bass for Prince and his brothers Davion Farris and SiR ventured into R&B. With a focus on his family, he founded WoodWorks, a songwriting group that includes his siblings and cousin Tiffany Gouche. They wrote songs for musicians like Ginuwine and the Pussycat Dolls together..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking D Smoke to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like D Smoke in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too.

D Smoke's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking D Smoke for your party.

CTI can give you the accurate D Smoke booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book D Smoke for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final D Smoke booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will D Smoke charge for an event. An example fee to book D Smoke is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the D Smoke agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The D Smoke manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book D Smoke for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the D Smoke agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book D Smoke, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the D Smoke booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for D Smoke, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
