It has been a couple of years since I last posted on this channel while we focused on launching the Musio platform. I’m back now because the worlds of music, Hollywood, and entertainment have changed drastically, and I want to share some insights gathered from 20 years in this industry.
Despite the challenges of the last few years, I have a good feeling about 2026. We are moving past a period that felt like the 2008-2009 recession—a time when "bean counters" held back on art and music. I believe we are about to see a "roaring" return to artistry and musication.
In this video, we discuss:
• The Reality of AI: Why I view AI as a "probability machine" rather than true intelligence.
• The Industry Shift: How lawsuits from Universal and Warner Music Group are "castrating" early AI models to protect human creators.
• A New Performance Paradigm: A first look at the MIDI-to-Instrument system I'm developing that creates a musical "fingerprint".
• Protecting Musicians: How this new tech ensures musicians get paid a cut for every single performance generation.
The Future of Musio: Our vision for a centralized platform for all virtual instruments, similar to a "Steam store" for music creators.
Stay Flexible & Adapt
Being a musician and an entrepreneur are often the same thing. While the tools are evolving, the goal remains the same: empowering humans to be better at what they do.
What are your thoughts on where the industry is headed? I’m sharing this publicly because I want to hear your feedback and start a discussion on the solutions for music creators in this new era.
