Along with Stewart Smith (no relation) and Tim Jupp, Smith formed The Cutting Edge in 1992.
In 1995, Smith and his wife were involved in a near-fatal car accident, and during the weeks of his recovery, he decided to become a professional musician.

It released a various artists album in January 2009, with Smith appearing on three tracks. Delirious? later confirmed that they were breaking up permanently after a final concert in November 2009.
