Singer-songwriter Grimes (real name Clare Boucher) has launched a new AI voice software called Elf.Tech, designed to help users create music using an AI-generated version of her voice. In exchange for using her voice, Grimes requests a 50% split on master recording royalties.

An innovative approach to music

The platform allows users to upload their own voice recordings, which are then transformed into Grimes’ unique style using AI technology. These vocals can be mixed with other electronically generated sounds and beats, resulting in new tracks resembling Grimes’ signature sound.

Grimes sees this as the future of music, where artists allow algorithms to replicate their voices and receive a percentage of the profits. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, her manager, Daouda Leonard, explained that Grimes views creativity as an ongoing conversation and believes in sharing her gifts with others for new experiences.

Linking AI to Grimes’ personal life

Grimes’ former partner, tech billionaire Elon Musk, is known for his investments in AI startups, including OpenAI, which launched the popular AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT. While the couple is no longer together, their shared enthusiasm for AI’s potential in shaping humanity’s future is evident.

Since Grimes unveiled Elf.Tech, the internet has been flooded with new songs featuring her AI-generated voice. As users continue to experiment with the platform, we can expect an ever-growing collection of AI-created music showcasing Grimes’ distinctive style.
