Shaping Your Own Label with AI: The Future of DIY?

Conference

Shaping Your Own Label with AI: The Future of DIY?

Speaker: Tomas Luyke (Nettwerk Music Group, Director, Marketing Technology & Innovation)


Most people in music now have access to the same AI tools the majors have, and almost nobody is getting useful work out of them. The reason is not the model. It is that the model has no idea what your artist sounds like, who the audience is, what worked last cycle, or what the release is trying to achieve. This session covers the part nobody teaches: how to give a general-purpose model enough of your own context to make decisions you would actually act on, and how to wire that into live streaming, social, and live data so it stays current through a campaign, delivered by someone doing exactly this at a label, with the working files to prove it.
