Charlie Puth, the Grammy-nominated singer, has been named the chief music officer of the AI-powered music platform Moises. In this role, Puth will guide the company's creative and product direction. Puth has been a longtime user of Moises, which is primarily used to isolate vocals and instruments for remixing and sampling. The company has also expanded into generative AI tools that allow users to create song stems by inputting text prompts or audio references.

Why it matters

Puth's appointment highlights the music industry's growing embrace of AI technology, even as many creatives remain wary about its potential impact. The move also reflects Moises' efforts to differentiate itself from AI music generators that can produce full songs with minimal human input, instead positioning its tools as complementary to the creative process.

The details

Moises, founded in 2019, is an AI-powered service marketed to musicians. The company's tools allow users to isolate vocals and instruments, change song keys, and detect guitar chords. Last year, Moises expanded into generative AI, enabling users to create song stems by inputting text prompts or audio references. Co-founder and CEO Geraldo Ramos said the company wants to differentiate itself from AI music generators that can produce full songs with a single prompt, instead offering tools that augment the creative process.

  • Moises was founded in 2019.
  • Puth recently partnered with Moises to launch a 'Jam Sessions' contest for his fans.
  • Puth used Moises to practice and experiment with different keys and elements for his upcoming album 'Whatever's Clever!' ahead of his Super Bowl national anthem performance.

What they’re saying

“Every musician I know is using Moises, and I've been using it in my own creative process for years. It opens up possibilities that used to take hours or expensive studio setups, whether that's isolating vocals to study technique or experimenting with arrangements in real time.”

“AI, when done right, isn't here to replace musicians.”

— Charlie Puth (Moises)

“You can generate building blocks of music with text. So, for example, you can start with a guitar and say, 'I want a bass here that's funky and groovy.' And then it creates a bass that fits your initial input. But you can't just go from zero to a full song with only one prompt. We don't offer that solution.”

Moises plans to continue expanding its AI-powered music tools, while navigating the industry's ongoing debates around the use of AI in music creation.

The takeaway

Puth's appointment as chief music officer at Moises underscores the music industry's growing embrace of AI technology, even as many creatives remain cautious about its potential impact. Moises is positioning its tools as complementary to the creative process, rather than as a replacement for human-made music.
