FUCK AI AND SUPPORT REAL ARTISTS
We are so cooked. Everyday AI content is eating up more and more market share of our eyes and ears, and it’s now basically indistinguishable from reality. If regulation is not placed SOON around copyright, we are going to loose unfathomable amounts of human creativity.
Most developing artists rely on a small project-based work to get their foot in the door in an already gate-kept industry. Being a “starving artist” is looking like it may become less and less attainable without being forced to become “proficient in ai tools”.
The pursuit of artistic excellence must be protected at all costs. It is built on hundreds of years of blood, sweat, and tears from uncredited and unpaid artists.

i haven’t spoken about this due to my visa status, but fuck it i don’t stand for this shit, never have and never will. the senseless violence in our current world is sickening. abolish ICE.
Many people ask me what it’s like being an independent artist in a monopolized industry. I have been subjected to de-prioritization when competing with major label artists in an ecosystem that is rewarded by payola.
We live in a world of conformity and when somebody like myself goes against the grain to try to do something different, I am met with non-stop gatekeeping.
I once had a song climb in the alternative radio space and it was taken out exclusively because major record labels had bought placement.
A large chunk of contemporary artists today are faking and buying streams to hyper inflate the perception and facade to be accepted by a grander audience. The issue is these artists don’t even know it’s happening, the label just does it.
This is not me complaining. I’m incredibly blessed to be in the position I am in, and thank you to those who enjoy my music.
I know it may be discouraging for independent artists starting off, but please make art because you love the craft. The success will follow and disregard all the bullshit and noise that you may encounter on the way.
Keep your head down, support other artists, build a world and community of people that you believe in and believe in you.
