Grammy®-nominated and World Entertainment Award®-winning media personality, author, worship leader, and gospel artist Michael Finkley is uplifting hearts once again with his newest single, “Smile.”

The inspiring track delivers a message of hope, gratitude, and choosing joy, even in life’s most challenging moments.

Through soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, “Smile” reminds listeners that happiness is a choice rooted in faith and resilience. Finkley shares that the song came from a deeply personal place: “I wanted to create a song that reflects the power of maintaining positivity, no matter the circumstances. A smile is more than just an expression - it’s a statement of strength and faith.”

“Smile” also signals the start of an exciting new chapter for Finkley as he prepares to release his highly anticipated worship album later this year. “This album is my most personal work to date,” he reveals. “Every song tells a story of hope, healing, and gratitude. It’s my journey captured in music, and I hope it encourages listeners to embrace their own.”

Beyond his music, Finkley has made a name as a motivational media personality.

As the creator and host of The Michael Finkley Show, he inspires audiences with uplifting stories, interviews, and practical wisdom.

“My mission is simple—whether I’m performing, speaking, or hosting, I aim to lift people up and remind them of their ability to overcome life’s obstacles,” he explains.

Looking toward 2026, Finkley plans to continue sharing his message of hope through live performances, collaborations, and community initiatives.

He is also expanding The Michael Finkley Show, connecting with even more audiences and spreading positivity through every platform he engages. “I’m excited for the journey ahead,” he adds. “It’s all about spreading light, encouragement, and joy, one song and one story at a time.”

Known for his authentic storytelling, purpose-driven music, and uplifting spirit, Michael Finkley continues to inspire and motivate listeners across the globe.

“Smile” is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major platforms.
