For Country Festivals, parties, weddings or sad farewells, I'm your man. On the road for many years, over 11 million streams and lots of songs in my repertoire. Furthermore, I have won an award at the Red Carpet Award Show Europe and have been nominated at several organizations in the USA

Johan Smits, also known as John Smyths.
I was born in March 1961 in the historic center of Nijmegen and was introduced to the world of music by my parents and older brother. Naturally, it was country music that I started singing again. The love for this kind of music never fades when you’ve grown up with it.
For work, we had to move to Germany, where we now live in the beautiful Hunsrück region. I decided to go to the studio regularly to record covers of well-known country songs; I even recorded two of my own songs and performed on stage several times. I’ve performed in Bonn, Brussels (at “The Egg”), Hillesheim, Morbach, Lubbock Town (Lommersum), and many other places. After one of my performances—at the 1st Country Night Linnich Ederen—I received positive reviews from Keep it Country Magazine, among others. Even before I started singing country, I had already heard of George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Chris Stapleton. And I’m a big fan of Hal Ketchum, who passed away far too soon.
About my own songs:
- One is called “Holes in My Brain” and was released in 2021 in collaboration with several well-known musicians, including Karl Schulz, Jürgen Schulz (the studio owner), and Wolfgang Thiel.
- The other is called “Cowboys Never Cry” and was recently (2023) released in collaboration with Steve Lee Jefferson and Jürgen Lippmann.
Since 2024, I’ve been working closely with Fred Weidler, and we’ve been on the road together a lot. In 2024, I also performed on stage at the Country Fair in Erfurt, where I did a radio interview with Radio Goldstar. In November, I did a radio interview in Luxembourg on Radio RGL, which was broadcast on television in early 2025.
A trip to Nashville is planned for 2026 for studio recordings. In April 2026, I entered the Country Charts for Independent Artists Top 100 at number 92 with my latest song “Last Night,” for which I’ve received many positive reviews. I’ve also been nominated again by various American country music organizations. Additionally, a “Best Texas Country Picks (Volume 9)” CD will be released from the U.S. at the end of June, which will feature my single “Last Night.”
So, I’d love to perform in your area—please contact me, and I’d be happy to come. I’ll be touring the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and more.

Best regards,

John Smyths
