How will generative AI music ultimately affect the global music business?

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music.

On this podcast we dive head first into one of the most-talked-about topics in the music biz this year.

That topic is generative AI music, but more specifically, the fact that vast volumes of music are now being produced by AI platforms and then uploaded onto various streaming platforms.

There is arguably no one better placed to talk on this topic than Alex Mubert, founder and co-CEO of the self-titled platform Mubert. 

That’s because, in July, Mubert announced that its AI platform had now been used to create more than 100 million music tracks, with an average length of over 4 minutes. 

As it pointed out, Mubert’s 100 million created tracks were roughly the same size in volume as the entire catalog available on Spotify.

Mubert’s sub-platforms include Mubert Render, for online content creators – YouTubers, podcasters etc. – looking to create royalty-free soundtracks for their productions. There’s also Mubert Studio, for artists and composers, which allows musical creators to earn money on tracks, samples and loops. 

On this podcast, you’ll hear Music Business Worldwide editor - Murray Stassen – ask Alex Mubert all about that 100 million stat, and how AI music is going to change the industry in the years ahead…
