Mission

Antonio Smith aka Mission
Born in Greenville, Mississippi, and raised in Sacramento, California, Antonio Smith, better known by his stage name Mission, is a genre-defying Christian music artist who has dedicated his life and music to glorifying God. As a husband to Shawnay Smith and father of four—two boys and two girls—Mission’s journey of faith began when he gave his life to Christ at the age of 18, and his music continues to reflect that commitment.

Mission’s life and music are deeply rooted in Matthew 6:33: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” He believes in doing God’s will, not his own, and encourages others to love God’s people, which he knows to be the most important thing to God. His personal motto, “All of You, none of me,” is based on the scripture “I must decrease so the Lord can increase,” signifying his desire for God’s will to be done in his life above all else.

With a thriving career, Mission has released 10 studio albums, including his latest, Second Wind, which has amassed over 4 million streams. Another of his standout albums, Barely Finished 2, boasts over 6 million streams. He’s garnered more than 15 million all-time plays on Apple Music and maintains a robust presence on Spotify, where he reaches 130 thousand monthly listeners and has 20 thousand followers.

Mission’s music resonates far beyond streaming platforms. His viral single “Marvelous” has amassed over 100 million combined views on TikTok and over 11 thousand sound uses. The song’s infectious energy has been featured by major NFL teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, and Cleveland Browns. Major brands like Fendi, Nike, Nickelodeon, ESPN, NFL Network, and Top Rank Boxing have also used “Marvelous” in their social media campaigns.

Another viral single, “Free,” has garnered over 10 thousand sound uses on TikTok and trended on Instagram, further solidifying Mission’s influence in the digital space. His collaborations with notable Christian artists such as Aaron Cole, Pastor Mike Jr., Mike Teezy, 1K Phew, and Caleb Gordon highlight his versatility and commitment to his craft.

Mission’s influence isn’t confined to music. He also wrote and recorded the Sacramento Kings’ theme song, Sac Town Kings, which was featured in an animated video promoting the team’s “Sac Town” jerseys.

With a devoted following of 50 thousand Instagram followers and 22 thousand TikTok followers, Mission continues to inspire others to follow God’s will through his music and life, always emphasizing love for God’s people.
