The music
“The lyric comes first. It starts with something lived, remembered, or hard to shake. AI helps build the production around it.”
Afrikaans songs about love, loss, and the moments you carry home. An original sound, and emotion first.
The creative process
Human lyrics, AI-assisted production
Songwriters write the lyrics. AI may contribute to the musical generation and production, while the team directs, selects, edits, arranges and finishes the work. Credits are attributed per release. Releases are original works.
