⏳ 5 AI tools every music artist needs in 2026

Hey friend,

2026 is almost here.

Before we turn the page, I need to say this: thank you.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout 2025. Thank you for being curious enough to open these emails, read my thoughts, and come back for more. I don't take a single one of you for granted.

2025 has been an incredible year on the business side:

All organic. Zero ad spend. That growth? It's because of you.

On a personal note, this year wasn't easy. I experienced loss in my family, and some seasons were harder than others.

But showing up here, for this community, gave me purpose through the tough days.

Now, let's end the year with something useful.

I spent hundreds of hours testing AI tools for music promotion this year so you don't have to.

Most indie musicians burn cash on marketing teams or waste weeks on admin work.

These 5 AI tools will 10x your fanbase in 2026:

5. Opus Clips — Turn interviews, studio sessions, and behind-the-scenes footage into viral clips. One long-form video becomes a week of TikToks and Reels. Perfect for building social presence at scale.

4. Neural Frames — Upload your track, describe your concept, and get a full AI-generated music video or lyric video synced to your music in minutes. Perfect for Spotify Canvas and social media.

3. Nano Banana (Pro) — Your visual content machine. Generate album artwork, single covers, and merch designs. Feed it your own photos and get endless new looks.

2. Perplexity — Use Deep Research and find venues with booking contacts, auto-fill royalty registration forms (e.g. ASCAP), and review contracts before you sign with Perplexity’s Comet browser.

1. Claude (Opus 4.5) (+ Airtable) — Release strategies, newsletters, press releases, social posts. Build automated systems that grow fanbases on autopilot. Perfect for managing multiple artists simultaneously.

All of these offer free trials or free tiers. No excuses, just test them.

But tools are only as good as the prompts you feed them.

That's why I built the AI Fanbase Builder, a complete prompt library that takes you from discovery to conversion. From getting new listeners to actually making them buy something from you.
