Show Notes
SUMMARY ON EPISODE GUEST:
Sevyn Streeter's journey through the industry has been marked with a deep understanding that an artist's essence and voice can sometimes be taken advantage of under the heavy hand of record labels.

Despite these concerns, Sevyn stands firm in the belief that assistance with the tools of AI can be beneficial, as long as the soul of the music, the truth of the artist, remained untouched.
At the heart of Sevyn's position on artificial intelligence is a quest for authenticity and protection with the music industry where an artist's truest expression confronts the reality of technology evolving. As a beacon for industry reform, Sevyn's voice became more than just a melody—it became a call for change, resonating with those who understood the precarious balance between sharing one's art and embrace advancement in technology.
