I use AI for my vocals.
Because I love making music, and I use AI for my vocals, and I get the backlash. But I also love sharing my art, and there has to be a safe place for that too.
say it out loudThat's the honest version. I write the songs. I make the music. And for a lot of my tracks, the vocal is made with AI tools.
Some people hate that. I understand why. There are real worries about AI: stolen voices, songs made in bulk to game payouts, real singers being pushed out. I share some of those worries.
But there's a difference between using a tool to finish your own song and using a tool to rip someone off.
Where we stand
You're welcome here if you used AI to help make or finish your song. Vocals, mastering, a part you couldn't play. We just ask three things:
- Tell us. Every store has rules about AI now, and we follow them so your song stays up.
- Make sure the tool's licence lets you release what it made, commercially.
- Never clone a real person's voice without their permission. That one's a hard no.
What we won't do
We won't put out mass-produced uploads made to farm streams. That hurts every artist, including the ones using AI honestly.
What I hope
I hope we get to a place where people judge the song, not just the tools. Where someone can say "I made this, here's how" without a pile-on. That starts with being honest about it. So here I am, being honest about it.
If AI helped you finish the song you've been carrying around for a year, I'm genuinely happy for you. Send it in.
