For those making human-AI hybrid music, are you using your own voice and face, or creating a fictional artist?

I’ve been using an AI clone of my voice with Suno for a while. Now I’ve started putting myself out there visually too - making myself the protagonist in my music videos.

Shameless plug, conveniently relevant to the question: here’s my new “Love Hate” video 😂

I used a few different models while making it, so my face changes a bit in places. Consistency is getting better, though.
Are you putting yourself in yours too? Or is creating someone else part of the fun?

For those of you making AI-assisted music, how are you handling disclosure?
For context, I’m an AI artist. My artist name is Viva Eze (shameless plug 😂*)*.
When I first started using Suno, I didn’t tell anyone.
Not because I thought there was something wrong with AI music, but because I knew what would happen. People would hear “AI” and immediately dismiss the music before they even listened. They’d also dismiss the creative process, assuming it was nothing more than typing a prompt and getting a finished song. And sure, it can be that simple. But it can also be a lot more involved.
Once you know exactly what you’re trying to create, getting AI to produce that can take dozens of generations, rewriting lyrics, changing directions, tweaking prompts, throwing ideas away, and developing an ear for what works. The tool can generate almost anything, but getting it to consistently generate your vision is a very different challenge.
Over time, AI became a bigger and bigger part of my workflow. I barely open a DAW anymore. Most of my music now revolves around Suno. I’m still making the creative decisions from start to finish. The tools changed, but my role as the creative director didn’t.
Eventually, I got tired of feeling like I had to avoid the conversation. So I stopped.
I call myself an AI creator. I mention AI in my descriptions. And honestly, it gave me peace of mind. If someone enjoys my music, they’re enjoying it knowing exactly how it was made. If they don’t, that’s their choice. At least I’m not hiding my process anymore.
I’m still undecided about labeling my distributed catalog because it’s a mix of older, fully human-made music and newer AI-assisted work. I’m waiting to see how those standards evolve before making a decision there.
I’m curious where everyone else has landed.
Do you disclose AI involvement?
Why or why not?
Has your approach changed over time?
I’d genuinely like to hear how other AI musicians are navigating this.

I made the first version of this beat on Suno over a year ago, but I did not know what the song was yet. I liked the feeling, so I kept it. Then months later, the actual idea finally made sense.
The song became Travel and Wait.
It is about decision making, hesitation, and being afraid of certainty. That moment where you know you have to move, but choosing one path means accepting that you are leaving other versions of your life behind. Sometimes the fear is not that you do not know what to do. Sometimes the fear is that you do know, and now you have to live with the choice.
The video is also playing with the idea of “AI slop.” Instead of pretending that criticism does not exist, I wanted to lean into it and ask: what if the strange, surreal, almost over-generated feeling becomes part of the artwork itself? What if the imbalance is the point?
So the video sits somewhere between beauty and excess, intention and chaos, movement and waiting. That is also where the song lives.
I used AI throughout the process, including shaping the lyrics and visuals, but this one reminded me that the work is not always just generating. A lot of it is recognizing what has feeling, cutting what does not, waiting until the idea becomes clear, and trying to find balance inside the machine.
Sharing the YouTube link here because I would love honest thoughts from people who understand this space.
Does the emotion come through, or does the “AI slop” feeling get in the way?

Has anyone else started listening to other AI musicians more over time?
When I first got into AI music, I mostly listened to my own stuff (VIVA EZE, shameless self-plug 😂). Partly because I was excited by what I was making, partly because I was experimenting constantly, and honestly I wasn’t paying much attention to what anyone else was creating.
But something has changed for me recently.
Maybe it’s because I’ve spent enough time in the community, maybe it’s because I’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of the criticism and hostility AI creators get, but I’ve found myself actively seeking out other AI musicians and genuinely enjoying their work.
I’ve been listening to artists like Slime Dot and Olivia B. Moore, and for the first time I feel like I’m following artists within the AI music scene rather than just making AI music myself.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced that shift.
When you started, were you mostly listening to your own songs? Have you started discovering and following other AI musicians, or were you doing that from the beginning?
Would love to hear how your relationship with AI music has evolved.

This is my music video for Desire.

Most of the images were created in MidJourney. I then used a mix of Higgsfield: Veo 2.7, Google Veo 3, and occasionally MidJourney’s own animation tools to bring them to life.

I haven’t really gotten around to proper storytelling yet. Right now I’m focused on learning, experimenting, and improving with every project, both visually and musically. Hopefully that’s a skill I continue to develop over time.

For now, just enjoy it and let me know what you think. Any feedback is appreciated.
