Antonio Marquet Smith “aka Mission” was born in Greenville, Mississippi and at the age of 9, Mission and his family moved to Sacramento, California. Soon after, he joined Calvary Christian Center in Del Paso Heights. As a child Mission always had an ear for music, along with a strong lyrical passion and a gift. When he was 15 years old, he started seriously writing and making music. However, one day Mission realized he was not living the secular lifestyle that he and his friends rapped about, so he began making music that truly reflected his Christian life and re-leased his first album, “Main Event,” in July 2011.
Mission’s fan base consists mostly of the younger generation across the world who can relate to his story and enjoy his sound. He has shared the stage with artists such as; Switchfoot, Toby Mac, Lecrae, Tedashii, Dre Murray, Transparent, Th3 Saga, Alex Faith, Social Club, and many others.
Mission’s goal is to make timeless music that sustains the soul and he believes that through the transparency of his trials, tribulations, and triumphs, others will seek and get to know Christ. Mission is now a father of 4, two beautiful girls and two handsome young men.
