He, him. Hey! I’m Scott Simpson, a songwriter, poet, educator and indie music producer and I live and record in Spearfish Canyon in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Since 2000, I've produced and released more than 50 albums (most available on all digital outlets). One of my recent albums, Keys To My Head (2021), includes 8 songs written during FAWM 2020. After FAWM 2022, I produced a doc film and songwriting course titled Fourteen in February, and followed that up with a studio album of most of those songs called “Berries and Thistles” in 2023. I’m also a Songfinch Artist.

My Approach to AI in FAWM 2026

This year, I’m exploring how AI tools can be used in creative, human-centered, and transparent ways as part of my FAWM process. I’m not looking to outsource songwriting—I’m using AI as a mirror, a reshaper, and an occasional chaos button. It’s a tool, not a co-author, and the choices still come from me.

I’ll be sharing my full process for any track that involves AI—what tools I used, why I used them, and how they fit into the larger creative arc. If you’re curious, skeptical, or experimenting too, I’d love to talk. I think we’re all figuring this out together.
