Taking a bold step in the world of AI-generated music, artist Grimes has offered to split royalties 50/50 on any popular tunes created using her voice.
- The artist, also known as Claire Elise Boucher, took to Twitter to encourage fans to experiment, stating they could "feel free to use my voice without penalty."
- Grimes stated that she has "no label and no legal bindings" and is interested in being a "guinea pig" to see the results.
Previously On AI-Generated Music: This offer comes on the heels of Universal Music Group, a major record label, asking streaming platforms to block AI-generated music using its copyrighted melodies and lyrics.
- Universal led an online takedown of the AI-generated song "Heart on My Sleeve," featuring deepfaked voices of Drake and The Weeknd, resulting in copyright claims and removals from YouTube and other platforms.
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
