Fletcher Reed

Fletcher Reed, the nom de plume of the Amsterdam-based American music producer Andrew Smith,grew up learning various instruments and playing in different bands at an early age. A few years back,he and a friend took off for Zimbabwe, their first destination on what would become a mostly non-stop journey across several continents for two years.While the trip would influence his perception of the world and its people and cultures, another very specific inspiration revealed itself. Though instrumental, Reed’s music is injected with a specific sense of place and geographic spirit to represent the worldly appreciation Reed Developed while traveling. With multiple singles from the upcoming debut album, a dual-genre project via Nettwerk Records, Fletcher Reed is sure to be a major landmark on the instrumental music map.
