Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for tech giants; it's rapidly becoming the most disruptive force in the creative world, especially in music. In this episode, we explore how AI is fundamentally changing everything from song composition and production to distribution and monetization. We move beyond the hype to discuss the practical applications available to artists today. We then dive deep into a real-world case study, tracking an AI-generated song from its creation to its performance on one of the world's largest social media platforms. We put it to the test and the financial results were fascinating. We reveal the exact earning rate, a modest ninety-four cents per thousand plays on TikTok, and discuss the frustratingly slow reporting process, which can leave you waiting up to three months to see your revenue. This is the unfiltered truth about monetizing AI music today. Key Takeaways: - How can you go from a simple text prompt to a fully mastered song in under five minutes? - What is the actual revenue per stream for independent music on TikTok? - Why is there a significant delay in music royalty reporting from major platforms? - Is AI a collaborator that enhances creativity or a threat to human artists? - Which AI tools are essential for modern music production and promotion? - What are the key strategies for distributing and marketing AI-generated music effectively? - Can you truly build a sustainable income stream from AI music alone?
