Hey everyone, it’s Matt from AIDIY, the AI music guy. I’ve always said that Music Is For Everyone , but as of today, we are officially in a battle over who actually gets to keep the music they create. We’ve got some massive news.

But what happened next changed everything, AIDIY became one of the most creative and supportive AI music communities anywhere. I’ve had so much joy meeting people in this space. The conversations, collaborations, and friendships that have come from this journey mean more to me than I can say. I’m genuinely thankful every day fo
