The rise of Xania Monet, a fully AI-generated artist, is highlighting both the potential and controversy of AI-powered music.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meet Xania Monet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It looks like the future of music has arrived, and the artist doesn\u2019t really even exist. Xania Monet is an AI-powered R&B artist created by poet and design studio owner Talisha Jones. Using the AI music generator Suno, Jones transforms her own lyrics into fully AI produced tracks. Jones doesn\u2019t stop there though, completing the music with a carefully designed artist persona, which obviously looks like AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are listening too. In just two months, Monet has pulled in more than 17 million streams. Her breakout track, \u2018How Was I Supposed To Know\u2019<\/a>, has clocked 2.5 million streams on Spotify<\/a> alone, cracked Billboard\u2019s R&B Digital Song Sales Top 10, and even hit No. 22 on the overall Digital Song Sales chart. Pretty impressive numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Billboard is reporting<\/a> that independent label Hallwood Media has signed Monet to a record deal reportedly worth up to $3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
