About

Global Musicians Fish Pond was conceived in April 2011; the vision was to bring musicians and music listeners from all over the world together in one place, to create a community with a passion and a heart for music.  The vision has become a reality, and here you see the result; a caring family of like-minded individuals, who together truly can, and will, change the world.

If you are a musician, join our family and meet artists around the world, collaborate, share, and grow; “we take from this life what we give into it”.

If you are a music fan, access a diverse catalog of sounds, enjoy listening for free, and expand your collection by buying from your favorite family members.

If you are a company servicing musicians, create a profile on our family site to share with musicians all over the world.

Our Organization

David Mark Smith – CEO and Founder

A Brit musician now based on the East Coast USA, David is one half of the songwriting team behind the band My Lucky Fish.  Working in the airline industry for 20 years, his business experience spans product management, accounting, finance, economics, business development, strategy, and marketing.  He has been a musician for 30 years, and a songwriter for 15; he has a love for pop/punk, and lists influences from classical music, to pop, to metal.

Writing, recording, and distributing the band’s debut album, released in January 2013, was a rite of passage and an important milestone for him in learning the steps and ‘opportunities’ which musicians face to be heard in todays complex marketplace.  He still performs on the East Coast of the USA, just for the buzz of the stage.  His favorite bands are Blink 182 and Jason Mraz.

Spawning the Fish Pond in April 2011, David has a heart for family, and for the development and friendship of driven musicians with a true passion for being heard and understood.

Pranam Bai Rose Smith – Head of Global Publicity

With a rich family history of music from her roots near Annapolis, Maryland, Pranam Bai is a songwriter and instrumentalist with a talent for singing, guitar, piano, and violin.  Passionate about her dual careers in the equine and accounting fields, she splits her busy schedule between education, her jobs, music, and home-making.  She has written and recorded two releases with The Richter Sisters.

Her love for travel and culture has taken her to the Caribbean, Spain, France, England, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Canada in the last couple of years; with an unending supply of energy and drive and equally big heart, she exemplifies the global family that the Fish Pond has become.

Bringing her own lifelong personal mantra – love, truth, happiness – Pranam Bai joined the Fish Pond in January 2013; with several reviews to her name, she spends her Fish Pond time developing creative social media campaigns, co-managing the website, and planning for business development over the longer life of the family.
