Induce

Ryan Smith, better known by his stage name Induce, is an American, Los Angeles–based DJ, record producer, singer, and writer. He works in a variety of musical genres, while more recently he has received recognition for his work as a singer: his 2012 album Halfway Between Me And You was praised as one of the best indie-soul releases of that year by MTV Hive, and won him Artist of the Year in the Miami-area hip-hop website The 305. In 2013 he began music video directing, including for "Get Down Saturday Night" (video 2013) from Halfway Between Me And You and "Ride Around" and "Alina" from Sunset Summer.

Collaborations Induce has collaborated on a DJ mix with Danny Daze consisting Italo disco style music, Disco For Abruzzo Vol. 1, and has toured with Kid Sister as her DJ.
