Short bio

[~40 words.] Smith & Hazzard are Ricky Smith (70) and Simon Hazzard (54), finishing a catalogue of songs they wrote and gigged as Volume One in Hampshire twenty years ago — now completed with fully disclosed, human-directed AI production.

Long bio

[Full version, 150–250 words — pull and adapt from the story page. Include: Volume One in Hampshire, the gap, why now, why the name change, the Hampshire/Lincolnshire split, and one clear line on the AI-disclosure approach.]

The angle, if you want one

Two men, one seventy and one in his fifties, finishing songs they wrote and gigged as unknowns two decades ago — using AI carefully, and disclosing exactly what it did and didn't do on every single track, credit by credit, in a public log. Most coverage of AI in music right now is about people hiding it. We're doing the opposite.
