Rachel Elizabeth Smith (born February 28, 1989), known professionally as REMMI, is an American indie pop, indietronica, electropop artist from Pollock, Louisiana.[1] She previously played under the name Rach E. Smith.
Smith first began playing music when she found her mother's old acoustic guitar in a closet at age 11. At the time, she was living in Pollock, LA, a small rural town in Grant Parish. Her first taste of music came through church. She grew up singing for Southern Baptist audiences in children's choirs and musicals in Alexandria, LA. Smith eventually began writing her own songs and began playing in smaller venues and opening for friends.[citation needed]
Smith's family relocated from Pollock to Orlando, Florida her second year of high school.[citation needed] She attended Master's Academy in Oviedo, Florida. Here, she continued to play music in churches and hone her songwriting. After high school, Smith attended UCF and FSU.[2] She was eventually asked to open on tour for contemporary christian bands and began touring nationally with her original compositions. After college, she relocated to Nashville to pursue music professionally.
REMMI was featured on a song by experimental indie pop project NVDES called "D.Y.T. (Do Your Thing)" in 2018. This song was featured in an AppleiPhone X commercial.[2][3]
