He is currently signed to Big Loud Records. Smith is the current record holder of most number one hits among all male Canadian artists on Billboards Canada Country chart, at eleven. With Side Effects, Smith also became the first Canadian country artist in the Nielsen BDS era to chart four consecutive number one singles from one album (Shania Twain charted three consecutive number one hits from her 1997 release Come On Over), a feat he would then top with his next album, Timeless.
At the end of 2012, Mediabase named Smith the most played Canadian country act and number eight overall at the format.
In November 2012, Smith performed on his first solo tour, co-headlining with Chad Brownlee. The tour was billed as the Boys of Fall Tour and traveled across Canada, hitting 22 cities. The tour sold out on 20 of its dates, including the Commodore Theatre in Vancouver. Smith performed at many Canadian country festivals through 2012 and 2013. In March 2013, Smith went on a sold-out Canadian tour with Bob Seger.
Stemming from the success of the Boys of Fall Tour, Smith and Brownlee teamed up to create the annual Boys of Fall Charity Golf Tournament and Concert. The tournament took place at the Redwoods Golf Course in Langley, British Columbia on August 27, 2013, and was sponsored by the radio station CJJR-FM. Proceeds from the event were donated to Basics for Babies, an organization that assists families coping with the challenges of raising a young infant by providing them with needed food, formula, and diapers. The tourney's fifth year took place on August 22, 2017.
Smith released an extended play, Tippin' Point, on March 4, 2014, in the US and Canada. Three singles have been released from the EP so far. The title track was a top five single on the Canadian country radio chart and was pronounced the fastest country single to be Gold certified by Music Canada. Since then, the single has been certified Platinum in Canada and the "Tippin' Point" video was ranked number one on CMT Canada. In the US, the song "Tippin' Point" was ranked number one on Sirius XM's The Highway Hot 45 Countdown and has sold over 120,000 singles. Smith followed up the success of the first single by releasing "Slow Rollin'" in March 2014. The track was a top five single at Canadian country radio. A third single, "A Girl Like You", was released in June 2014.
Smith's single "Slow Rollin'" is performed by Lady Antebellum on the deluxe edition of their album 747.
In 2016, Smith released his third solo album Side Effects. The singles released from the album included "Kids with Cars", "One Little Kiss", "Autograph", lead title track "Side Effects" and "Sky Stays This Blue". In September 2016, Smith also joined Keith Urban for the Canadian leg of his Ripcord World Tour.
In July 2020, a Nielsen Music study found Smith to be the sixth-highest played Canadian artist on domestic radio in the first half of 2020, ahead of Drake and Chad Brownlee, and slightly behind Virginia to Vegas and Justin Bieber.
Smith's fourth studio album, Timeless was released on August 28, 2020, and contains all previously released material from The Fall, as well as the singles, "Like a Man" and "Some Things Never Change". In November 2020, Smith released his first Christmas single "Classic".
