Will AI help, kill or stifle music creativity? 🤔 AI, Blockchain & Music: Let’s be real, music isn’t what it used to be. Back in the day, artists relied on radio airplay, CDs, and Alaba marketers to “blow.” Now? AI and blockchain are flipping the music industry on its head! 1. AI is gradually becoming the new “producer wey no dey vex”. Imagine a producer that never gets tired, doesn’t charge studio fees, and can cook beats in any genre. AI tools like AIVA, MuseNet, and Magenta are already making music. Some songs you vibe to today may have been made by AI without you knowing! (Sage Journals, 2024) 2. Blockchain - No more “Industry Wahala”: You sabi how big streaming platforms pay artists peanuts? And how some labels still “run street” on their own artistes? Blockchain is changing that! With platforms like Audius and Emanate, artists can upload music, get streamed, and receive instant payment without middlemen! Kings of Leon even sold their album as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and made over $2 million! (Investopedia, 2024) NFTs allow musicians to sell exclusive beats, unreleased songs, VIP concert tickets, and even shout-outs directly to fans. No label, no streaming cuts—100% your money! 3. Music Education is No Longer “Chalk & Talk” If you’re still learning music with only pen, paper, and theory overload, you dey carry last! AI-powered tools like Moises and SmartMusic now analyze your playing, correct your mistakes, and even predict your next improvement areas. At COLLS Music Academy, we believe music education should be flexible, digitally enhanced and borderless, no matter your age or location. Some say AI and blockchain will empower artists, while others fear it could replace human creativity. But one thing is sure, the industry is changing, whether we like it or not. #AI #Blockchain #MusicIndustry #FutureOfMusic #MusicEconomics #MusicTech #MusicEducation #collsmusicacademy
