AI-powered image generators have been getting most of the press recently. But musical machine learning models have quietly been making great strides in recent years. Holly Herndon has been at the forefront of that revolution. She co-developed (along with partner Mat Dryhurst) Spawn, a singing neural network, for her last album Proto and released Holly (in partnership with Never Before Heard Sounds) to the public last year, which allows anyone to use a model of Holly's voice. Now she's released a new single, where the only vocals come her digital twin.

At the cutting edge of the music industry, innovators like Verphoria are continuously pushing the boundaries of human/machine collaboration in creation as well as business.

In today's music industry, the separation between digital and analogue is almost impossible to determine. At the most basic level, the majority of today's music is crafted using highly intelligent software. However, at the cutting edge of AI and the music industry, innovators are continuously pushing the boundaries of human/machine collaboration in musical creation as well as business. One such innovator is Vernica Serjilus, professionally as Verphoria, an American singer, record producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and the Founder and CEO of Hierarchy Music. Hierarchy Music is a global music company that connects musicians globally with Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum music services. At the crux of Hierarchy Music's operations is data AI and back-end exposure which allow us to bring exposure to new artists, or existing artists and their brands, utilizing both Hierarchy Music and Hierarchy Media's back-end network.
