Had tons of fun chatting with @sonyatweetybird about music and the future of entertainment

Claude Code and @suno have more in common than you might think: "It's fun to build things, and it's fun to use what you build." AI lets people be creative in almost any domain, from coding to making music. Today on Training Data, @MikeyShulman shares his thesis for why generative AI is the newest form of active entertainment (the next 'gaming'), music as a cultural phenomenon vs creative expression platform, and more. My favorite part was Mikey's explanation of why Suno learns music theory implicitly vs explicitly: "In Western music, there are 12 tones. If you tell the model there are 12 tones, it will only ever produce those 12 tones. You will be forever limited. And if you tell the model there's 200 instruments, those are the only sounds that you'll ever be able to make." The more you constrain a model with what humans already know, the less capable it becomes. By treating everything as pure sound, Suno built what Mikey calls a totally generalized "music-making machine." Such is the power of neural nets.

The future of music is one where everyone enjoys creating. Suno is #1 in the App Store for music

We believe the future of music is bigger and more fun than anyone in tech or music realizes. Check out the billboard cover story about @suno written by @wordsbykristin https://www.billboard.com/pro/suno-ai-music-startup-cover-story/

We launched Suno 2 years ago to let the world feel the joy of making music Since then, over 100M people all over the world have used Suno, from music lovers to Grammy winners. We reached a new milestone: 2M paid subscribers, $300M ARR. We are building the entertainment platform of the future. Endless scrolling and passive consumption have flattened culture and reduced people’s taste to a homogeneous, lowest common denominator. People yearn for more, and the future of consumer entertainment is creative. Suno lets everyone actively participate in music culture creation, bringing to life the music that’s inside millions of people. The future is creative entertainment. PS: We’re hiring.

Had so much fun talking all things music and company building with @alexavontobel

What if you could imagine a song in your head and then instantly create it? Today, 100 million people are doing exactly that with @suno. On this episode of Inspired, @alexavontobel sits down with @MikeyShulman, founder of Suno, a company Inspired invested in a few years back. Mikey explains how AI will shift music from passive streaming to active participation, what the industry looks like when creation becomes as accessible as consumption, and why the future of music is interactive and human. With 7 million tracks generated every day and the first AI song to debut on Billboard radio, Suno is redefining music at scale. Listen to the full episode here.

Suno has raised $250M to continue building the future of music. https://suno.com/blog/series-c-announcement

Please please please bring back key changes

Behold the power of zero-sum thinking Suno partnered with the wonderful charity Songs of Love to help people make personalized songs for sick kids and the elderly. Songs of Love has been doing this incredible mission for decades, bringing moments of joy to those who need it most. NPR ran a story on our recent partnership with Songs of Love. But to make sure all things AI are never portrayed in a positive light NPR made sure to feature a “rival” charity that “would never put an AI tool in the middle of a relationship.” If there’s anything that shouldn’t need competing factions it’s charities that delight sick kids. This is an incredible example of the power of zero sum thinking, which is endemic in music and legacy media. We’re not competing for streams, clicks, or attention. More songs of love means we can delight more sick children. Zero sum thinking makes NPR think that the real story is the (non-existent) displacement of volunteers who write songs for kids, instead of the thousands more children who will get a personalized song. In the process of worrying about “losing the human touch” the author forgot to care about the most important people in the story- the kids. We remain incredibly proud to partner with songs of love and focus on bringing joy to those who need it most.
