Good day,
how are you today?
Chris from the AI Musicpreneur here.
Greetings from WISE, a music conference in Berlin where artists and builders are discussing the future of music creation, consumption, and experience in the age of AI.
While I had the privilege of curating a panel and speaking on "How artists can use AI to win 1,000 fans," I'll let you in on a little secret: You don't need AI to win fans.
But AI makes you better and I’ll show you how in this newsletter.
If you want to:
→ Win fans without burning out.
→ Save time and energy on content creation.
→ Create content that resonates with your audience.
→ Focus on your music while AI handles the rest.
...I wrote this edition for you.
Let’s dive in.

✍🏼 AI PROMPT CORNER
You don’t need AI to win 1,000 fans. Use my 3-step framework to add AI where it makes most sense to you.
Yesterday I spoke at the WISE conference in Berlin
My topic was: → How to win 1,000 music fans with AI.
The truth? You don’t NEED AI to win fans.
But the reality is → AI makes you better.
You can’t do it all at a high level:
→ Songwriting.
→ Cover Design.
→ Content Creation.
→ Video Production.
→ Mixing & Mastering.
What’s the secret to success with AI?

Steal my 3-step framework to work with AI:
Step 1 - Identify your pain point:
↳ Social Media is a black box to me.
↳ It’s hard to create relatable content.
Step 2 - Formulate a measurable goal:
↳ I want to win 50 new fans in 4 weeks.
Step 3 - Optimise your workflow:
↳ Write storytelling content with AI.
↳ e.g. Don’t say “Listen to my song”.
↳ e.g. Say “I turned bullying into success”.
And you only need 1 prompt to do this.
Use AI to augment your workflow.
Don’t use AI for the sake of it.

A topic you’d like the tweets to be based on.
Turn an interview into 20 tweets. Here’s an example I wrote for virtual artist “Luna Raye”.
The AI Musicpreneur: Luna Raye, thank you for joining me today to discuss your powerful new single, "Closer." Your music has been making waves on social media, resonating with listeners from all walks of life. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind this song?
Luna Raye: Thank you for having me. "Closer" is a deeply personal song that stems from my childhood experiences growing up in Brooklyn. My parents struggled with drug addiction for years, and it was an incredibly challenging time for me. I often felt disconnected from them, as if the drugs had a stronger hold on their lives than I did. It was a lonely and emotionally draining period, and I found solace in singing in the hallways of our apartment building.
The AI Musicpreneur: Your lyrics are so raw and honest, capturing the pain and resilience that comes with facing such difficult circumstances. How has music helped you navigate those experiences?
Luna Raye: Music has always been my sanctuary, a way to express the emotions I couldn't put into words. When I sang, I felt a glimmer of hope and comfort amidst the chaos. Writing "Closer" allowed me to process my feelings and share my story with others who might be going through similar struggles. It's a reminder that we're not alone in our pain and that there's always a path towards healing and self-discovery.
The AI Musicpreneur: The response to "Closer" on social media has been incredible, with fans creating TikTok videos and Instagram posts inspired by your message. How does it feel to see your music resonating with so many people?
Luna Raye: It's been overwhelming in the best possible way. Seeing people connect with my story and find strength in the lyrics is truly humbling. I believe music has the power to bring people together and spark important conversations about mental health and addiction. By sharing my journey, I hope to create a space where others feel seen, heard, and supported.
The AI Musicpreneur: Your message of empathy, understanding, and courage is so important, especially in today's world. What do you hope listeners will take away from "Closer"?
Luna Raye: I hope "Closer" reminds listeners that they are not defined by their struggles or their past. We all have the capacity to heal, grow, and find our own path forward. It takes courage to face life's challenges head-on, but we don't have to do it alone. Through this song, I want to encourage others to reach out for help, lean on their support systems, and know that they are worthy of love and happiness.
The AI Musicpreneur: Thank you, Luna Raye, for sharing your story and your music with us today. "Closer" is a testament to the transformative power of art and the resilience of the human spirit. I can't wait to see how your message continues to touch lives and inspire change.
Luna Raye: Thank you for having me and for creating a platform where artists can share their stories. I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with listeners and be part of this journey of healing and love together.
Here’s the output:

WRAP UP
WHAT YOU LEARNED TODAY:
First things first, remember that AI is like a trusty sidekick that can help you win over fans and take your music career to new heights. It's not a magic wand that will do all the work for you, but it can definitely make you better at what you do.
Secondly, figuring out where you need the most help is key. Maybe social media is your kryptonite, or you struggle with creating relatable content. Whatever it is, identify your pain point and set a clear, measurable goal for yourself. That way, you can track your progress and see how AI is helping you improve.
And finally, don't just use AI for the sake of using it. Instead, focus on optimizing your workflow. Use AI to write compelling, storytelling content that resonates with your audience.
We’re at the end.
Now, let's talk about "Back to the Future."
Remember when Marty is trying to get his parents to fall in love so he can ensure his own existence?
He's got a really specific goal in mind.
And he's willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Well, that's kind of like using AI to win over fans.
You've got to have a clear objective.
And be willing to put in the work to reach it.
And just like how Marty enlists the help of Doc Brown and his “crazy” inventions, you can rely on AI to give you that extra boost you need to succeed.
So, as Doc would say, "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."
And with AI by your side, you're well on your way to winning over those 1,000 fans and beyond.
