A month ago, I discovered a song from the album below and started listening to it. Acem Kızı. The song is so good that, for those of you who watched Kurtlar Vadisi, it even started to sound better to me than the version there. Then I shared this track on Instagram and got a message from a friend: “You know this song is AI, right?”
I didn’t know; I found out at that moment. Then I started listening to the whole album. THE ALBUM IS AMAZING. One person made the music with Suno, created the visuals with Midjourney, and released it on Spotify through an intermediary.
This looks like an anomaly, but it’s actually an example that reveals how music will be made in the future. The world’s first “AI-native” musicians have started to appear, and we are now witnessing the very first baby steps of this revolution.
So where is this going? I see the trajectory of this the same way I see YouTube’s early years. YouTube grew not in the hands of professional content creators but amateurs, and it turned into a massive industry.
From this new music revolution, not only people who understand music and aim to earn money from it professionally, but also people who have no experience in this field yet still want to create, will benefit. Just as being a YouTuber became a profession and left traditional visual media behind, music production will also move out of the monopoly of pure musicians and professionals and become accessible to everyone.
