Fraser T. Smith is a UK-based multi-Grammy Award-winning record producer, songwriter, and musician. In 2020, he released a debut album under the moniker Future Utopia called 12 Questions. He tapped the talent of some of Britain’s most vital and brilliant artists to contribute including Stormzy, Dave, Kano, Ghetts, Bastille, Es Devlin, Simon Armitage, Idris Elba, among others. The album is based on a series of twelve universal, human, and urgent questions, all born of Smith’s own anxieties about the world today. The album discusses issues including faith, freedom, race, gender, wealth, equality, and ecology. He also started a podcast also called 12 Questions where he pairs some of the sharpest minds in popular culture to answer these questions in order to examine the breadth of their answers, and to help him and others navigate living in the modern world. This pack features selected sounds crafted in the making of 12 Questions, providing you with both a glimpse into Smith's process and an opportunity to use his thoughtful, original compositions in your productions. He has co-written, produced, and mixed six number one singles and has contributed to multiple number one albums in the UK and US. These include Adele's “Set Fire to the Rain” single, Stormzy’s recent UK number one album “Gang Signs & Prayer”, James Morrison's “Broken Strings (feat Nelly Furtado)” and Taio Cruz’s UK and US number one “Break Your Heart”.
