Music production has long been a barrier to many aspiring artists due to the steep learning curve required to master technical aspects. However, software companies like Musicfy are working to democratize this art form by simplifying the process through innovative technology. Musicfy's platform aims to reduce the learning curve, allowing beginners to focus more on creativity than technical challenges. This shift is not only supported by industry professionals but also highlighted by renowned figures such as Canadian musician Grimes, who invited her fans to create music using an AI-generated version of her voice. By leveraging smart contracts, she proposed a system where royalties can be collected and paid directly to creators using AI technology.

In Denver, educator Speer led a course on AI music tools using Boomy for young musicians. Local artists who performed at Youth on Record’s festival expressed their enthusiasm for integrating AI into music education and production. Regi Worles from the band Dog Tags emphasized the potential of AI in empowering everyday people to express their musical ideas without needing extensive technical skills. However, not all musicians share this enthusiasm. Genevieve Libien, a singer-songwriter, expressed apprehension about AI’s impact on the humanity and intrinsic value of music. Her concerns are echoed by creative professionals across industries who fear the dilution of artistic expression due to AI. Despite these concerns, Speer hopes that integrating AI in music education will ensure arts programs are better supported and accessible to all.
