Maybe Smith

“A highlight of Canadian indie music”—Exclaim!

“Here’s your chance to discover a true northern talent.”—Chart Magazine

“Canada’s best kept musical secret.”—Grant Lawrence, CBC Radio 3

Maybe Smith is the musical alias of Colin Skrapek from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The moniker holds no major significance besides being easier to pronounce than a Polish surname, though it also happens to be the name of a gunslinger in an obscure 1950s western film.

Maybe Smith has produced five LPs and two EPs of densely packed pop music full of samples, electronic squiggles and other curiosities since 2002. In 2008 his album Animals & Architects was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award. It lost to a Nickelback-esque rock album.
