🎶 My Unlikely Journey Into Music—Thanks to AI!
How an AI novice found his musical voice and an audience! 🚀🎧

"I don't know music, I don't sing well—but somehow, AI made me a “musician”!"
🎼 My Musical Background? Zero! 😅
Music wasn't exactly my forte. No formal training, no musical skills, and trust me—singing wasn't an option. 🤷♂️ But I always enjoyed listening, occasionally humming along.
That's it, until AI stepped in.
🎤 How AI Kickstarted My Music Journey 🤖
My first musical adventures were surprisingly in Chinese songs, all crafted with Suno AI. These AI-generated songs were more than just melodies—they were my personal stories, quirks, and thoughts.
Why did I start? Simple.
To express myself 🗣️
Share my humorous take on life 🎭
Connect with an audience who genuinely "gets" it 🤝
🎧 Topics of My First Songs (Spoiler: They're Funny!) 😂
Topic | Why It's Funny |
---|---|
🥼 Getting a PhD | It's like pooping—both require a lot of paper! 🧻 |
💔 Dating in Silicon Valley | Because, let's face it—dating here can be a comedy of errors! |
🚗 San Francisco Windshields | Survival rate = zero. Seriously. 🌁💥🚙 |
📱 Audience Reaction (Hint: They Loved It!) 🥳
I shared my music on Xiaohongshu, and guess what? People actually liked it—a lot!
✨ Why it clicked:
Relatable stories everyone can laugh about.
Authentic feelings, expressed through catchy tunes.
A touch of humor, making life a bit more fun!
🔑 The Real Secret to AI Music Success
Here's the truth:
"Good music is essential. Even with AI, quality matters!" 🎯
You can't just throw things together and expect applause. You need:
Emotion: Real feelings that resonate.
Audience Awareness: Know who you're speaking to.
Quality: Always aim for good, enjoyable music.
AI isn’t a shortcut; it's a powerful tool to express the unspoken feelings we all have.
🙌 Final Thoughts
Creating music with AI is not just about fun—it's about connection. AI empowers people like me (and maybe you!) to share uniquely personal stories that mainstream artists might miss.
A huge thank you to:
Without these fantastic tools, my musical journey would never have started. ❤️
