Ai music vs moxie

Remember when Milli Vanilli’s career was destroyed for being a fraud? They were exposed for lip-syncing, and the backlash was swift and brutal. Fast forward to 2026, and the music industry looks very different. Now, artists who can’t even sing are landing multi-million dollar deals thanks to AI-generated music. It’s a strange and unsettling shift. As someone who has built a career performing live Black American cover music internationally, I feel a mix of sadness and cautious optimism. Sadness because so many great artists might be overshadowed by those without real talent, but optimism because, for now, live performers like me still have a place.

Black American music has a unique power and global reach. Names like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, and Stevie Wonder are known worldwide. Their music carries emotion, history, and soul that AI can’t replicate. When I perform these songs live, I’m not just singing notes—I’m sharing a story, a culture, and a connection with the audience.

Music allows me to love others; embrace them with my heart. I shutter at the thought of it being taken away from me...the ability to connect with my fellow Foxies.

The energy between a performer and the crowd, the spontaneous moments, and the human touch are things AI can’t deliver—at least not yet. Music allows me to love others; embrace them with my heart. I shutter at the thought of it being taken away from me...the ability to connect with my fellow Foxies.
