SM*SH or Seven Man as Seven Heroes, (Indonesian pronunciation: [smɛs] or English pronunciation: /ˈsmæʃ/), is a boy band from Indonesia, founded by Starsignal on April 10, 2010. This boy-band consists of Rafael, Rangga, Morgan, Bisma, Dicky, Reza, and Ilham. Together, they perform songs that are pop-dance oriented. The name SM*SH stands for "Seven Man as Seven Heroes", heroes meaning that they want to young people by bringing positive spirits through their song. The letter "A" that's replaced by the star symbol was inspired by the name of their management, Starsignal. Currently, SM*SH is also working under the "Ancora Music" label since the mid 2011. Their first studio album that was released worldwide is titled SM*SH (self-titled). Their well-known singles, include "I Heart You", "Senyum Semangat", and "Ada Cinta". SM*SH has changed the Indonesian music industry by popularizing the boy-band culture in the year 2011. Now, the Indonesian music industry is dominated by various boy-bands and also girl-bands. Up until recently, SM*SH had received eight awards and two nominations in 2011, including two awards from the Indonesia Kids Choice Awards 2011.

Starsignal included them in a 5-months training camp, where they sharpened their singing, dancing, and public speaking ability. Early in their career, SM*SH also took part in the dancing competition held by Cinta Laura, and become the background dancers in Laura's single. Later in October 2010, they released their debut single, titled "I Heart You". The song was then rearranged by the artists, and changed into "Cenat Cenut". Both of the 2 songs are controversial due to their energetic video clips
