Steven Paul Smith, known as Elliott Smith, was an American musician and singer-songwriter. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska, raised primarily in Texas, and lived much of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he gained popularity. Smith's primary instrument was the guitar, though he also played piano, clarinet, bass guitar, drums, and harmonica. He had a distinctive vocal style characterized by his "whispery, spiderweb-thin delivery", and he often used multi-tracking to create vocal layers, textures, and harmonies that were usually fingerpicked and recorded with tape.
