Big News in the AI + Music World

Hey WA Fam,

The future of music took a wild turn this week, and trust me, the story behind it will leave you stunned.

The world of creativity is shifting faster than ever. What once seemed impossible is now happening in real time, thanks to AI tools that open doors for everyday creators.

Rising artist Xania Monet just scored a $3M record deal with Hallwood Media after a bidding war from multiple labels.

But here’s the twist: Xania isn’t “real.” She’s an AI persona, brought to life by Mississippi poet Talisha Jones using the AI music generator Suno.

• Talisha writes the lyrics.
• Suno gives those words a voice + melody.
• Together, they created Xania, a hit-making artist.

Think about it… Talisha is a poet (when’s the last time you read a poem vs. listened to a song?). Thanks to AI, her words now reach millions, and she landed a deal that poets rarely see.

Beyond the record deal, Talisha is also building a strong online presence. In just 26 videos, her YouTube channel has already grown to over 96,500 subscribers, showing that audiences are eager to connect with this new kind of AI-powered artistry.

And thanks to sites like Suno, this is possible for anyone. I’ve even written a post about Suno, explaining how you can use it to create your own channel with full commercial rights.

This is what AI is making possible: turning creativity into new opportunities that didn’t even exist a few years ago.

The takeaway? AI is changing the game - be it music, art, writing, or business.

Now’s the time to explore what’s possible. This is just one example of what’s possible. The next breakthrough could be ours, if we are ready to take the leap.
