Goldmyth is the stage name for Jenessa Smith, a harpist and songwriter who performs indie pop in Provo, Utah. She learned to play the harp as a teenager, and is influenced by indie rock. Critics praised her ethereal and melancholy harp sounds in her tightly produced indie-pop songs from her EP Faded Dream (2017). Her single "My Mistake" had a similar reception. "Lover's Letdown" was featured in the pilot episode of the HBO series The Sex Lives of College Girls.
Smith took harp and piano lessons as a child. As a teenager, she listened to indie rock.[4] Her influences are Joni Mitchell, James Blake, Sufjan Stevens.[1] and Death Cab for Cutie.[3] Nate Pyfer and Mason Porter co-produced her EP Faded Dream.[1] Pyfer previously produced for Kaskade and The Moth & The Flame, while Porter has produced for Haarlem and Polytype.[5] Smith said that Robbie Connolly was helpful in getting her solo project off the ground.[4] Smith writes her songs using a harp and a looper in Provo, Utah.[4][6]
