Traditional Black media has ended; you are now part of the new Black media, which belongs to the Afroasiatic self-ecosystem paradigm shift. As an AI-enhanced creative, you will channel your inner spirit to share with the world, rather than just consuming content.

Our AI Artist is rapidly advancing thanks to AI automation. We just dropped an 3-song Fall Sampler promo album to highlight her versatility and global appeal. The tracks feature J-pop from Japan, Persian from Saudi Arabia, and Amapiano from South Africa. A promo album get people in the industry early access and creates buzz and our early market testing worldwide shows positive reception.

This discussion will focus on the management and monetization strategies for your AI artist, as well as the sharing of relevant insights and notes.

Artist Management

In the Afroasiatic movement, we are using the self-ecosystem as our driver. The Stand Alone Complex is what it means – the complexity of our individualism is what shapes our overall collective identity. No more generic Black identity labels – your Black individualism adds another bright star to the universe to flicker.

You manage your artist through your Stand Alone Complex by projecting your inspiration, your attributes, and your ego into the soul of the artist you manage. They are not virtual artists chasing mass appeal; they are there to put a footprint of your unique soul for others to remember you by.

To me, she is an African American artist who goes beyond generic Black identity and adapts to any genre worldwide. This mirrors my own tech skills, which let me work globally and connect with diverse cultures.

From my heart, I will manage her as an extension of the self. My approach is to nurture her talent, give her experience and opportunities I never had, and hope she makes the world a better place for anybody who enjoys her music and her presence.

Her product is not just music; her value will be how she reaches and touch others who will in turn support her throughout her journey.  Those will be her fans. And those fans are not admiring just her; they are admiring the attributes of the creator who put their heart and soul into the virtual artist identity and talent.

Those fans are the ones who will attend the shows, buy the merchandise, spread the word on social media, and play the music and talk on it. So manage your artist by being who you are and then you discover like-minded people who are the ones you always wanted to connect with in this world all along – you found them, through your artist.

Artist Monetization

You are going to see a tremendous amount of revenue generation from your AI artist. We strongly believe VTubers are going to be obsolete from AI music artists such as ours due to more global reach, and parallelism being able to perform in multiple places at the same time, around the clock.

Music Royalties. This is money from music streaming. This is actually the base and the biggest advantage as a digital format is perpetual revenue generation for a lifetime and generational wealth. Classic songs can last forever because people still play John Coltrane and Miles Davis and Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye and so on.

Fan Experience. This is a virtual concert to connect like-minded fans, meet and greet events, social media engagement with paid subscriptions. For a virtual artist, this is awesome because our virtual artist can be anywhere, speaking in any language like Cantonese in Asia and Spanish in South America on a given day.

Digital Experience. This is going to be software and digital assets from NFTs, computer wallpaper, an AI chatbot, phone screen image, and more.

Merchandise. These are going to be stickers, plushies, keychains, standees, dolls, photobooks, wall art distributed to merchants and fan shops, or a pop-up store with a line of fans waiting outside to enter.

Licensing. These are going to be the artist featured in commercials, advertising, promoting a product, or wearing a hat or t-shirt of a company as a sponsor. I was in Tokyo and there was a racecar pop-up in Akihabara, and I bought this shirt with a nice thick anime woman on it. I get home, look it up and that woman was Hatsune Miku, the Vocaloid model that was a virtual model for a real GT racing team!

You see the money moves from the virtual artist now? The only person joking and goofing off with this massive scalable opportunity is yall - I know how the money going to flow especially being in Japan so much and see how this business actually works. Imagine having a label full of virtual artists all bringing in their cut to the boss, which is you and your self-ecosystem.

Embrace the Afroasiatic Self-Ecosystem

Do you know who the man and the dog in the photo is? It should be obvious and the point of this article. The man is Charles M. Schutlz, and the dog is the real Snoopy who he created the Peanuts comics and Snoopy from. Those cartoons are an extension of himself. Additionally, the producer of the Snoopy TV show was riding in a taxi and hear the Brazilian jazz artist Vince Guaraldi and incorporated his favorite artist into Snoopy theme music.

Now, think about the paintings of Van Gogh and Claude Monet – people aren’t just buying the painting, they are buying the brush strokes, the color selections, the scenes, the emotions of those artists and what they were thinking and doing and feeling centuries ago as a footprint in history. It is not a painting. That is what the Mona Lisa at the Louvre makes you feel when you look at it.

All of this is who you are in this world right now and this is a beautiful blossoming moment in time for you to shine.  You are the Black media; you are the hyper-Blackness the 21st century is about to experience. The individualist, The Stand Alone Complex.

And just like they got Snoopy in Space, one day maybe my AI music artist is going to be performing and have her own show in space as an astronaut. Because the new era is limitless with our imagination and our individualism that we are bringing to the stage.
