Highly influenced by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie, he started playing guitar at the age of 12. Smith has played the 6 and 12 string guitars; 4 and 6 string bass guitars; double bass; keyboards; and violin; in various combinations.
Robert is the third of four children born to Alex and Rita Smith. His siblings are Richard, Margaret, and Janet. Janet is married to Porl Thompson, the lead guitarist of The Cure.
Smith was raised Catholic and went to St. Mary's high school as a teenager.
Smith has written or co-written the bulk of The Cure's music and lyrics in a career spanning 30 years. He has also been involved in other musical projects, including a stint with Siouxsie & the Banshees and his side-project with Steven Severin called The Glove. He has also contributed vocals to a number of independent projects and performances, among them the B-side of the Faith cassette, which is a 30-minute track from a movie project, Carnage Visors.
Smith is instantly recognisable for his deliberately smeared red lipstick and messy black hair that some have compared to a large spider. According to Steven Severin, he first used Siouxsie Sioux's lipstick while he was high on opium. Smith's image has contributed to the frequent classification of The Cure as a goth band, a moniker Smith rejects. Smith is also known for his distinctive wavering singing style.
Smith's lyrics are frequently poetic and as frequently inscrutable. Smith has stated that they are often the product of some "altered state," such as drugs or sleep deprivation.
Smith met Mary Poole in school when he was 14 years old. They have been together since and were married in 1988. Smith wrote "Lovesong" as a wedding present to Mary.
In October 2004, he stood in as one of three guest presenters for John Peel on BBC Radio 1, a week before the DJ's untimely death.
"Just Like Heaven" is reportedly Smith's favourite pop song that The Cure has produced and easily one of the public's most popular in which he details a lost love: " found myself alone alone alone above the raging sea / that stole the only girl I loved / and drowned her deep inside of me.
