The newest season of the Cyber PR Music Podcast is all about AI Music Marketing and the brilliant Hazel Savage, co-founder of Musiio by SoundCloud kicks it off from London.

Hazel talks about the role of AI in music creation. While the use of AI can be seen as a "freak show" to some, it can also be an opportunity for artists like Grimes to explore a new branch of creativity. She touches on the history of technology in the music industry, and how the industry will continue to find ways to value artists while not stifling creativity. 

She speaks candidly about her personal experience of struggling to find inspiring female bosses early in her career and emphasizes the importance of being vulnerable and open about limitations for women in the workplace. 

She takes us through the AI technology behind Musiio, which is primarily a B2B company however all indie artists can use it for free (and they should - we explain why!). In seconds Musiio adds metadata to tracks, and will reveal things you may not know about your own musical creations which can help you with marketing and play;lisy placements.

Hazel explains the differences between ML and AI and she discusses and explores the possibilities of AI-assisted music creation. We both encourage the use of assistive technologies for individuals working as a team of one and share some fun experiments with AI-generated selfies and more. 

Tune in to learn more about the intersection of technology and music!
