Steven Paul Smith (August 6, 1969 – October 21, 2003), better known as Elliott Smith, was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His primary instrument was the guitar, but he was also proficient at piano, clarinet, bass, harmonica and drums. Although born in the Midwest and primarily raised in Texas, Smith spent the majority of his life in Portland, Oregon.
After playing in the rock band Heatmiser for several years, Smith's career as a solo artist began in 1994 with releases on the independent record labels Cavity Search and Kill Rock Stars. He eventually signed a major label contract with DreamWorks Records, for which he recorded two albums. Smith rose to mainstream prominence when his song "Miss Misery," written for the film Good Will Hunting, was nominated for an Oscar in the best original song category in 1998.
The singer battled with depression, alcohol addiction and drug use for many years, and the topics would often appear in his lyrics. Smith died in 2003, aged 34, from two apparently self-inflicted stab wounds to the chest. However, as of 2006, the evidence surrounding his death remains inconclusive. In 2004, ANTI- Records released From a Basement on the Hill, which Smith had been working on since about 2000 and was still in unfinished form when he died.
