AI Music Generation, From Prompt to Production: Phlo Young
Takeaway
AI music tools like Suno and Udio reward unintuitive prompt craft and pen-name experimentation more than musical training.
Summary
- Hands-on workshop demonstrating AI music with Suno and Udio after a 30-day deep dive; predecessor tool Boomi is mentioned as the 2-year-old original.
- Speaker is a working musician who runs split tests under different artist names — same song uploaded under different pen-names performs wildly differently (one pen-name hit 5M streams while his real artist account stayed small).
- Workshop covers advanced prompting techniques shared in the Suno/Udio Discord (e.g., banjo and bagpipe music via unintuitive prompts), demystifying AI music genres.
- Promises to walk through pulling stems from Suno output for mixing/mastering and discusses distribution opportunities for indie artists.
