Songwriters Who Use Suno (AI)

I played live for ten years, or more. My duo partner and I would go into dying bars and see if they wanted to try something to bring it n business. You can make 100 bucks and you can do an original here and there.
Unless your playing in top venues, it's not worth the setting up and especially setting down.
I too have thought playing live may at this point be something new and different. But the happening bars want high quality entertainment. Your job is to make people stay and buy beer.
With drinking and driving laws, people don't stay all night any more.
The general public has not really heard ai music. If live music makes a comeback, it won't be till ai music becomes so prevalent a change would be needed1 -
I could still be in a cover band making $300 a night but the set-up and take down is too much, as you said @Domd
Also the drunkenness was a turn-off, altho' I always enjoyed when a fight broke out for some reason.
I'm over-the-hill at 75, but I hope young musicians revive live music by supporting small local action like cafe, restaurant, festival, private party, personal gathering, etc. For the sake of the music not for the sake of money. I see guys with ten times the talent that I have, struggle all their lives trying to make a living out of it.
A.I. reminds me of cross-country skiing. Toil away forever getting out to a favourite ice-fishing spot, only to have a snow machine pull up just before you get there. 🤣
No resentment tho'. As long as folks are enjoying music. It's all good.

@DullRoar yeah, thing is ai is going to be and is already part of music. And wint go away. I figure I'll see where I fit in I don't think real musicians are going anywhere though
I look forward to it when it can be completely controllable and useable by musicians and songwriters0 -
I think pro songwriters are having a hard time making a living now , due to all the changes in the industry . I'm not sure how AI songs affect the outcomes and cuts . I'm sure its rippling thru the industry

I think a hit would generate 500.00 in revenue before the internet came around , Now it's down to 250,000 . Then splits would have to be determined on how many writers were on the song and publisher splits. By what I can get by research only top publishers are getting the cuts like Sony or Curb . But maybe a few smaller publishers are getting cuts . I'm not sure how AI songs come in the picture on making money . it's an ever involving landscape yet to be determined by law makers . if you think on how many artists that take outside songs and the millions of songs written a year, the %'s are extremely low on a radio hit and surviving as a staff writer as of 2025
