Episode notes

Hazel Savage is originally from Northeast England. She attended university, and studied politics. She's played the guitar since she was 13, and started out as a self taught player. Her first guitar was a cherry red Fender Telecaster, followed by a Fender Cyclone and a Danelectro Hodad. Recently, she's started getting more into collecting, grabbing a Gibson Goddess for her collection. She used to play in an all girl punk band in London, called Ginkinta.

She worked part time in HMV, a records store, stocking shelves, putting CD's out, and gaining an understanding of the music world from the perspective of a customer. And I find it interesting that she doesn't miss the physical music products, as a large collection of CD's tend to weigh a lot and are hard to move across the country.

After joining an incubator, she was paired up with her now co-founder, who is deeply technical and well versed in AI. Combined with her extensive knowledge of the music industry, they set out to change the face of music... and the fingerprints found inside it.

This is the creation story of Musiio.
