Wil Smith is a Brooklyn-based composer and performer who plays piano, keyboards, pipe organ, and Hammond B3 organ, and is a founding member of the experimental rock band Passenger Fish.

He recently played piano in Cynthia Hopkins’s This Clement World at St. Ann’s Warehouse, performed on keyboards in Corey Dargel’s Hold Yourself Together in the American Composer Orchestra’s Sonic Festival and on the Brooklyn Philharmonic’s Music off the Walls concert, and performed on Hammond B3 organ with Present Music in Milwaukee premiering Jerome Kitzke’s new large-scale theatrical work, Buffalo Nation. In early 2012, he commissioned new works for pipe organ by composers Paula Matthusen, Orlando Jacinto Garcia, Corey Dargel, Eric km Clark, Irene Buckley, and Omar Surillo, which he will soon record and release as a commercial album.
