⏳ 3 tricks to unlock ChatGPT GENIUS mode 🧠

I went broke at 27, here’s my story and how you can avoid the same mistakes I made as an artist. Plus: 3 ChatGPT prompt hacks that actually work for music pros, a new AI music generator, and the latest AI music news.

Why I Went Broke at 27 (And How You Can Avoid My Mistakes):

This was back in 2012, and I was living the dream as a touring musician. Shows were packed, fans liked the music, and money was flowing in from gigs and merch sales.

The problem wasn't the music (I hope 🥹). It was money blindness.

I organized a completely DIY US tour and paid for everything myself - hotels, travel, the works.

I was selling merch but hadn't figured out how to calculate costs smartly.

I mixed all my money together without any system, so I couldn't see where it was actually going until it was gone.

Years later, I discovered the 4-envelope system that could have saved me.

Split every dollar into gear fund at 10 percent, living costs at 50 percent, taxes at 20 percent, and flex savings at 20 percent.

This forces you to see exactly where your money goes before you spend it.

This system gives every dollar a purpose and prevents the money blindness that killed my finances.

Now, let’s cut to the chase:

Most musicians use ChatGPT wrong.

These 3 prompt techniques will 10x your results for playlist pitches, artist bios, and release strategies.

(These come highly recommended by Sabrina Ramonov.)

First, end your prompts with:

"Ask me clarifying questions until you're 95% confident you can complete the task."

(I mentioned this last week, it’s 1 of 3 tricks)

This triggers smart follow-up questions that sharpen your thinking and catch details you missed.

Second, add:

"What would a top 0.1% expert in this field think?"

This pushes the AI beyond average advice to elite-level insights.

When pitching singles, it might suggest creating a one-liner no curator can ignore.

Third, request:

"Reframe this in a way that challenges how I view the problem."

This generates alternative perspectives, like building a newsletter instead of chasing pre-saves for better long-term fan connections.

Stack all 3 techniques in your next prompt for dramatically better results.

“Pretty good results with film score prompts but it doesn’t adhere that closely to the revision requests.”

“Tried it out with multiple house music prompts and it seems to do the darker/deep stuff quite well, but when it comes to melodic/euphoric type music it falls flat. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!”
