Canadian singer and electro-pop artist Grimes invites her fans to create artificial intelligence-generated music with the use of her voice. The performer shared her idea in a Twitter post on April 24. 

Grimes has specified that she will split 50% of royalties with creators of “successful” and “viral” tracks. The artist is not signed to any label, so there would be no problems on the legal side. 

The only rule for this initiative that Grimes specified is that the lyrics should not be “toxic.” For example, individuals are not invited to create violence-themed, Nazi, or political songs. Such tracks might be taken down.

It’s worth noting that Grimes, the ex-girlfriend of entrepreneur Elon Musk, is known for her interest in technology and innovation. Unlike most creators, she also likes the idea of open-sourcing all art.

I'll split 50% royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice. Same deal as I would with any artist i collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings. pic.twitter.com/KIY60B5uqt

Today, AI tools are capable of reproducing well-known singers’ voices and their performance styles. To develop an AI-produced song, “creators” can generate lyrics and beats in the selected artists’ style. Then, users can put everything together, and AI will generate the track in a preferred manner. Such tools enable artists, song producers, and music lovers to develop tracks without costs when using the technology for personal reasons. 

Earlier this month, an AI-generated song, “Heart on My Sleeve,” featuring rapper Drake and singer The Weeknd voices, went viral. The song received 15 million views on TikTok and 600,000 streams on Spotify. However, last week, Universal Music Group removed the track due to copyright infringement.
