This marks Smith’s first official nightclub hosting gig. Aside from this the young creative has already begun building his own identity in the fashion world. In 2024, he made his runway debut during New York Fashion Week, walking for designer Raul Lopez’s label Luar during the Spring/Summer 2024 season. The moment signaled his formal entrance into the fashion industry and positioned him as a rising face to watch.

With Atlanta’s nightlife scene known for blending culture, fashion, and music, Smith’s upcoming appearance at Opium is already generating buzz online. For many fans, the event represents not only a nightlife debut but another step in the young creative’s journey as he continues carving out his own lane.

The event is slated to take place on March 13 from 11 p.m. – 3 a.m. EST. Tickets are available here.
