About This Podcast
The AI music industry is moving faster than most artists can react. Platforms launch overnight. Terms change quietly. Laws lag behind reality. And everyone argues about whether this is "real" music — while the future gets built without them.
AI Music Revolution cuts through the noise.
Hosted by Josh Gilliland — 30-year Big Tech veteran, 5-star Submithub curator, 200+ track producer, and author of The AI Music Revolution — this weekly briefing is for creators who want to operate like professionals, not hobbyists.
What to expect:
• Market Intel — The truth about Suno, Udio, Bandcamp, and the major moves shaping this space (without the PR spin)
• The Lab — Prompt engineering, DAW mixing, mastering workflows, and professional release standards
• Distribution & Marketing — How to pass the curator test, get playlisted, and actually monetize your catalog
• The Philosophy — Authenticity, authorship, and the hard questions about creativity in the AI era
• Legal Reality Checks — What you own, what you don't, and how to protect your work
This is not a hype show. This is not a "press a button and get famous" fantasy.
It's a tactical briefing for the AI music era.
Join the Revolution. New briefings every week.
