Lorenzo Smith was born on May 23, 1972, in Havana, Florida. As a child, he sang in the churches and was an avid listener of Michael Jackson, El Debarge, James Brown and Sam Cooke. In high school, Lorenzo was active and competed in sports, a fact reflected by his strong build.[1]
In 1990, Lorenzo put out his first album, Let Me Show You. The album was released with Alpha International through CEMA Records. The album's title track reached No. 64 on the R&B charts, while the album's other single "Tic Tok" reached No. 41.
On Lorenzo's eponymous sophomore effort, the song "Real Love" reached No. 6 on the R&B charts; followed up with "Make Love 2 Me" and "I Can't Stand The Pain." which reached No. 21 and No. 22 on the R&B charts, respectively.[2]
Lorenzo released his last album to date in 1995, after a three-year dispute with Alpha International. The album, Love on My Mind, was released on Luke Campbell's Luke Records. It had one charting single, "If It's Alright With You" which reached No. 41 on the R&B charts.[3]
