I AM AI

"I AM AI" is the third studio album by the American artist Taryn Southern, which was released on September 27, 2018.

The album consists of eight songs, all the lyrics being written by Taryn Southern (and some others), but the melody and music production was done completely by an AI named Amper.

"I’ve always admired artists and creators who beat down doors and put themselves out there in a big way. It takes true grit to do that. In many ways, I’ve always been too timid. Making videos suits me, because it makes me feel like I don’t have to engage in that game.

There are benefits to creating independently, behind the safety of a laptop screen. It tends to keep my expectations in check, and I end up doing things because I generally enjoy doing them, not because I’m hoping for a specific result. But I also find myself frequently setting low expectations and selling my own vision short. ⠀⠀ The past year, my explorations in AI composition have taken on a life of their own. It’s been exhilarating to see such a weird hobby get any traction - and it all began out of curiosity. In the past 6 months, I’ve been asked to perform more than I have in 15 years, and within the past 3 weeks, Break Free has broken onto the radio charts..and is slowly moving up.

Little wins like this feel really good. I have no idea where it will go but here’s my ask: if you’d like to see the song hit the Billboard chart, comment below with a 👍 and share this post (don’t forget to tag @Billboard!) The algorithm is a bit of a mystery, but I know it’s a combination of radio, digital plays, and social shares so anything helps. 🙏 ⠀⠀ How AWESOME would it be to get the first AI song onto that chart??"
