Trump got arrested.
The Pope wore a white puffer coat.
New Beatles songs are created via AI.

What content is real and what isn't?
What content honours creator rights?
This is only the start of a new era of content. 
Content can now be created in an instant via AI. 

Images. Texts. Music. 

How do we make sure that:
✅ real content is recognized?
✅ & fans buy content (e.g. a Music NFT) from a credible source

We need provenance and authenticity for content online.
So we can protect consumers and creators.
So we can document history properly.

Authenticating digital content can help:
✅ Prevent fraud.
✅ Enhance trust.
✅ Maintain value.
✅ Ensure scarcity.

I am teaming up with Numbers Protocol to help onboard music artists & record labels.
Our joint mission is to protect music fans & creator rights.
So that fans know what they buy online is real. 
So that artist rights are documented.
So that assets can be traced. 
So that we can spot fraud.
And build trust and value.

Numbers is at the forefront as a decentralised asset network.
They make digital media traceable via AI and verifiable.
They won the SXSW pitch in the web3 category.
Have a highly experienced team
Raised $6 million in funding.

Building trust in Digital Media is important.
Not only for the NFT space but the entire internet.
We need authenticity for images but also for music.

🎵 Helping the music industry enter the #NFT space @ ACOY | Podcast Host @ Digital Punks - Der Music NFT Podcast

Ever built a lego tower?

Music careers are built brick by brick, but sometimes a blueprint helps. 

I know the struggle, having once dreamed of a music career from a small room in East London.

Now my goal is helping other artists avoid the pitfalls and win 1,000 true fans. 

And AI will be our companion. Let’s do this.

🎵 I wish  #NFTs existed 10 - 15 years ago.

I have practically been a music nerd for all my life. 

I used to play in various bands and as a solo artist as well as worked for record labels, organized festivals & managed up and coming artists.

I consider this experience very precious and am thankful for the opportunities I received.

I got to play in Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard and toured the entire US.

Ranked up over half a million plays on Myspace (Yes, Myspace did exist back then)

Got featured in the biggest Rock/ Metal magazine in China.

And was on German TV.

Why am I telling you this?

It sounds like that could pay the bills right?

It didn't. AT ALL. It was a +- business.

Independent artists without much representation have it hard. 

Music piracy did not help at the beginning of the century.

And the model of streaming pays independent artists unfairly.

Along came COVID and seriously threatened live music and musicians.

Music NFTs taking off (in the next few years) feels like a resurrection for the music industry to me.
 
🎸 For independent artists NFTs could provide an opportunity to connect with fans in unique ways.

NFTs are not a get-rich-quick scheme, it needs work, but it could enable artists to make a better living than now.

You don't need millions of streams on Spotify, but maybe only a few hundred devoted fans that invest in your journey and see you grow.

💿 Record labels, publishing agencies & more can use NFTs to offer new experiences to music lovers.
At the same time creating new income streams could also mean that more investments go into up and coming artists long-term.

It puts a little bit of the power back into the hands of the music industry.

I've seen artists disappear over the years because they ran out of fuel at some point (financial wise).

Wouldn't it be great to experience live music and at the same time know that the artists performing can provide for themselves and their family?

Let's create your future together.

Introducing: The AI Music Manager

The world’s first AI prompt library for music artists. 

It’s already helping over 1,000 artists every month.

The reason for launching this is deeply personal.

I once sat in a small room in East London.

And dreamed of a music career.

I went through the highs → Touring the US.
I went through the lows. → Almost going broke.

I know the struggle behind the scenes.

Indie artists usually have no team. 

But they now have AI. 

That's why I created the AI Music Manager.

My goal? Help artists win 1,000 true fans.

If you want to:
→ Never stress about song releases.
→ Craft compelling stories to win fans.
→ Grow & monetize your music career.

...then join The AI Music Manager.

Spotify just launched AI playlists.

Generate personalized playlists with text only.

Here's how to prompt your playlists like a pro:

________

To access AI playlist:

1. Go to "Your Library"
2. Tap the "+" button at the top-right
3. Select "AI Playlist" from the drop-down menu

Type in a prompt:
→ "Music to read to on a cold, rainy day,"

It will then generate a 30-song tracklist.

Once your list is created:
→ Save it by tapping "create" at the top right.
________

How to prompt:

Use a combination of:
→ Genres
→ Moods
→ Artists
→ Decades (like 80s).

These will give you the best results.

The feature also allows references to:
→ Places
→ Animals
→ Activities
→ Movie characters
→ Colors, and even emojis.

________

Matching capabilities:

Spotify tested extensively.

Niche prompts → Great song matches.

Example prompt:
↳ Make me feel like a vampire hunter from Blade (1998)

Matching result:
↳ Rave-appropriate techno mix titled "Blade's Essence"
Without additional input needed.

________

Limitations:

It won't produce results for non-music-related prompts.

Like current events or specific brands.

Offensive prompts are prevented.

Spotify will refine the feature in the coming months.

________

Availability:

Only available for Spotify Premium subscribers.
→ The UK
→ Australia

No announcement yet when more regions will follow.

________

Music curation will change forever:

It's a faster way to create themed playlists.

Music curators may choose songs that match best.

Rather than manually choose them via pitching. 

This does create opportunities for artist discovery.

AI playlists is more useful than Spotify's AI DJ.

Which has limited customization options.

________

Pricing: 

Spotify announced a new price increase later this year.

This new feature may contribute to the expected increase.

And also help in retention of users long-term.

Subs currently start at $5.99 per month for students.

And $10.99 for individuals.

________

P.S. What playlist would you create first?

My take:
↳ "An 80s rock playlist played in a time machine by Marty McFly"

This is Basil Woods.

He could help recover lost music like The Beatles.

His company Audiostrip just secured a major UK government grant.

The implications are massive. 

Here's what you need to know 🧵

——

AudioStrip is developing a source separation technology.

It could change the game:

→ New remixes.
→ Educational uses.
→ Recovering lost recordings.

———

Why is it different?

Current software can only separate:
↳ Vocals, bass & drums

Audiostrip can extract a wider range of elements.

Including individual instruments.

While maintaining usable quality.

This is a game-changer.


———

Why use it?

The potential of this tech was already seen in 2023 with the release of The Beatles' "Now and Then" featuring John Lennon's extracted vocals.

Imagine what else could be possible with Audiostrip's AI.

———

Game-changing partnership:

Audiostrip partners with the Queen Mary University of London.

Both will develop a state-of-the-art AI algorithm.

To automatically detect & extract any element from a song.

———

"This technology is sweeping the music industry. AudioStrip will offer more advanced tools for precise separation of individual elements in audio files."

Basil Woods, Co-Founder and CEO of AudioStrip

The goal? 

Make it an indispensable tool for the entire music supply chain.

It could change how we create music.
It could change how we manipulate music.
It could change how we experience music.

I spent hours analyzing IFPI's Global Music Report 2024.

And it's clear: K-Pop is dominating album sales.  

An unprecedented 19 of the top 20 best-selling albums globally were from South Korean acts.  

But there's one exception...

_________

Taylor Swift's "1989 (Taylor's Version)" was the only non-K-Pop album to make the cut.  

Standing out among a sea of Korean superstars: 
↳ incl. Seventeen, Stray Kids, and NCT Dream.  

Seventeen's "FML" topped the list: 
↳ An impressive 6.4 million units sold.

_________

K-Pop's success is largely driven by CD.   

And download sales.  

With fans often encouraged to buy multiple versions of their favorite artists' releases.  

However, this phenomenon hasn't quite translated to the vinyl market just yet.

_________

In fact, the IFPI's list of the top 20 best-selling vinyl LPs in 2023 doesn't feature a single K-Pop artist.  

Instead, it's Taylor Swift who reigns supreme in this format.  

7 of her albums made the list. 
↳ including the top 3 spots.

_________

Swift's "1989 (Taylor's Version)" sold 1.4 million vinyl units.  

Followed by "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" with 684,000.

And "Midnights" with 562,000.  

Collectively, her seven vinyl albums in the chart moved over 3.8 million units last year.

_________

Streaming remains the primary growth driver for the music industry.  

It's up 10.4% last year to $19.3 billion.

But physical sales are still proving lucrative for certain artists.

Vinyl sales spiked 15.4%.  

And CD sales jumped 13.6% in 2023.

_________

This growth is particularly evident for artists from South Korea.

They are masters at marketing physical albums to their dedicated fanbase.

And of course, for Taylor Swift.

She continues to be a powerhouse in both the digital & physical realms.

_________

The music industry continues to evolve.  

But it's clear that success can come from multiple avenues.  

Whether it's through streaming, CDs, vinyl, or a combination of all three.  

Artists who know how to connect with their audience will always find a way to shine.

Beyoncé’s songwriter is in love with this AI.

It's called Vocalist AI.

It transforms amateur vocals into pro-singers & rappers.

While compensating the original artists.

Here's why it matters:
________

Ethical AI:

The voice models are from artists who've worked with:
↳ Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake & Kanye

Vocalist.ai pays the vocalists royalties.

Based on usage of their voice models.

So creators can use the vocals royalty-free.

While providing fair compensation to the original talent.

A win-win for both sides.

________

Co-founder Andrew Frampton has produced for:
↳ The Script and Lewis Capaldi

It's over! AI replaces "Mamma Mia" musical star. 

Major shake-up in the entertainment world. 

What does this mean for the industry?

Here's everything you need to know:

____________

1/ Sara Poyzer replaced:

She's a beloved musical theatre star in the UK.

But was ultimately replaced by an AI generated version.

Shocking, right? 

But the implications are far-reaching.

As it takes away work from trained artists.

Be in multiple places at once.

____________

4/ The key topic here is control:

Robust frameworks are key:

AI needs to be used responsible.

Duetti's research shows the trend.

Over the last 6 months:
↳ Spotify's algorithmic streaming is up 10%
↳ Editorial streams are down 20%.

Similar shifts happen on other big platforms.

We approach an AI-driven world.

Hyper-personalized discovery will be king.

The Grammys will become less relevant.

Blockbuster hits will remain but lose streaming dominance.

Listeners discover a greater diversity of music.

Each year millions of new tracks land on platforms.

AI discoverability is essential for artists and fans.

This presents both challenges and opportunities.

Amazon Music just launched Maestro.

With Maestro, the possibilities are endless.

→ Short or long.

———

Once you input your prompt?

Maestro generates a unique playlist in seconds.

You can listen, save it, and share with friends.

So they can enjoy & create their own to share back.

It's a whole new way to interact with music.

Keep in mind the AI behind Maestro is still new.

So it may not nail it on the first try every time.

Amazon has systems in place to block offensive language.

Inappropriate prompts to keep the experience safe for all.

User feedback will help improve Maestro over time.

———

Maestro is rolling out now in beta.

To a subset of Amazon Music users in the U.S. on iOS & Android.

Both Amazon Music & Spotify now offer AI playlist tools.

That raises the question:

Or will they remain a way for services to differentiate themselves?

Time will tell, but one thing's clear.

AI is changing how we engage with music.

10 AI playlist ideas for Amazon Music

Music's on the rise.

25.9% in a single year! What's behind it?

These global markets saw a big jump:

________

Sub-Saharan Africa:

Led the pack with a staggering 24.7% growth.

Fueled by a 24.5% rise in paid streaming revenues. 

South Africa's the largest market in the region.

Contributed 77% of the revenues after a 19.9% growth.

________

Asia:

It's the third-largest market globally.

It saw a 14.9% increase in revenues.

Driven by strong gains in physical & digital sales.

Japan & China are the region's largest markets.

Experienced healthy growth at 7.6% & 25.9%, respectively.

________

Middle East & North Africa (MENA):

Revenues rose by 14.4%.
↳ Streaming has a 98.4% market share.

That's lower than the 26.8% jump in 2022.

But MENA's growth still exceeded the global rate.

________

Europe:

It remained the second-largest region after an 8.9% growth.

So what sparked these growth rates?

Here's a few factors:

✅ Diverse range of new genres & artists.
✅ Rise in consumer prices (e.g. inflation)

Still, there are challenges:

❌ Digital piracy.
❌ Streaming fraud.
❌ Generate AI used irresponsibly.

These issues need to be addressed.

So we have long-term sustainability.
