Get Better, Not Bitter — What Every AI Music Creator Needs to Hear Right Now
Send us Fan Mail
Three things on my mind this week — and all three connect back to the same idea.
First: why Suno is engineered to steal your afternoon, and the three questions that fix it. Most people open Suno as a browser. The ones getting results walk in as directors. Sub-genre. Mood. Texture. Know what you're building before you hit generate.
Second: the view from inside the curator's chair. I'm a five-star SubmitHub curator and I reject most AI music submissions — not because they're AI, but because they make the same five fixable mistakes before the song ever gets a fair listen. Disclosure, visuals, genre targeting, instrumental packaging, and trust signals. Fix these five things and you're already ahead of most of what lands in a curator's queue.
Third — and this is the one that matters most to me — where I actually stand on all of this as a human artist who has released music, worked with real musicians on real projects, and invests in music royalties. Which means I almost certainly own rights to songs used to train the same AI models I now teach people to use. I have skin in this game on multiple sides. And I'm not bitter about any of it.
The rules aren't going to crystallize anytime soon. Build anyway.
