Emotion. Vulnerability. Humor. Lived experience. Connection. Intuition. Authenticity. Gut feelings are the human qualities that give our songs their heartbeat. Why do we care? Because we’re songwriters, creators, musicians, artists, poets – and we’re human.
Generative AI is a tool that may enhance or shortcut certain aspects of your creative process. However, even the United States Copyright Office made it clear that songs worthy of copyright protection must be 100% human-authored in both their melody and their lyrics. They recognize that nothing can replace the ingenuity, talent, and spark of human creativity and collaboration.🔥
Here are several ways to find collaborators at SongU:
