Born to Congolese parents, Archibald Smith's passion for music began at the tender age of 12 when he started writing his first lyrics. Growing up in popular neighborhoods, his musical education was heavily influenced by the southern sounds of Funk, G-funk, and Dirty South, thanks to the rich musical environment provided by his family and friends.
Archibald's musical journey took a significant turn with the support of his childhood friend, Christopher Ghenda, and his introduction to open mic sessions and live performances by Dandyguel. His talent and hard work paid off when he co-wrote Aya Nakamura's hit song "Pookie", earning him a diamond disc as a songwriter. In addition to his musical prowess, Archibald is also a successful actor and model, having represented France at beauty contests and graced the runway during Fashion Week in 2012.
Known for his altruistic nature, Archibald has often dedicated his talent and energy to helping others. His authentic lyrics, filled with French slang that resonates with the youth, are inspired by his own life story and experiences. Central to his music is the theme of love, a universal subject that aims to uplift, unite, and resonate with his audience brilliantly and maturely.
In 2024, Archibald returned to the theme of love with "Broadway", an auditory ballad accompanied by a visually stunning music video. Now, he's back with "TON COEUR", a well-crafted pop track presented in an acoustic session. The music video for "Ton Coeur" features Archibald performing with his band of musicians, directed by Elias Hamraoui, and composed by Chris Mapplepack and Edwin Ziegler. The addition of Remy Béesau's trumpet adds a unique touch to the song, creating a recipe for success.
As he continues to rise in the music scene, his latest track is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the heartfelt and soulful artistry that Archibald brings to the table.
