Show NotesAs artificial intelligence begins generating music from vast datasets of human art, a fundamental question emerges: who truly owns the sound of AI? This episode of Music Evolves brings together a law student and former musician Chandler Lawn, music industry executive and professor Drew Thurlow, Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen, and intellectual property attorney Puya Partow-Navid, alongside hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli, to examine how AI is reshaping authorship, licensing, and the meaning of originality.The panel explores how AI democratizes creation while exposing deep ethical and economic gaps. Lawn raises the issue of whether artists whose works trained AI models deserve compensation, asking if innovation can be ethical when built on uncompensated labor. Thurlow highlights how, despite fears of automation, generative AI music accounts for less than 1% of streaming royalties—suggesting opportunity, not replacement.Sheldrick connects the conversation to a broader global context, describing how music's economic potential could drive sustainable development if nations modernize copyright frameworks. He views this shift as a rare chance to position creative industries as engines for jobs and growth.Partow-Navid grounds the discussion in legal precedent, pointing to landmark cases—from Two Live Crew to George R. R. Martin—as markers of how courts may interpret fair use, causality, and global jurisdiction in AI-driven creation.Together, the guests agree that the debate extends beyond legality. It's about the emotional authenticity that makes music human. As Chandler notes, “We connect through imperfection.” Marco adds that live performance may ultimately anchor value in a world saturated by digital replication.This conversation captures the tension—and promise—of a future where music, technology, and law must learn to play in harmony.GuestsChandler Lawn, AI Innovation and Law Fellow at The University of Texas School of Law | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chandlerlawn/Drew Thurlow, Adjunct Professor at Berklee College of Music | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewthurlow/Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder and Chief Policy, Impact and Government Affairs Officer at Global Citizen | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-sheldrick-30364051/Puya Partow-Navid, Partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/puyapartow/Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comHostSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/ResourcesLegal Publication: You Can't Alway Get What You Want: A Survey of AI-related Copyright Considerations for the Music Industry published in Vol. 32, No. 3 of the Texas State Bar Entertainment and Sports Law Journal.BOOK: Machine Music: How AI Is Transforming Music's Next Act by Drew Thurlow: https://www.routledge.com/Machine-Music-How-AI-is-Transforming-Musics-Next-Act/Thurlow/p/book/9781032425242BOOK: From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World by Michael Sheldrick: https://www.fromideastoimpact.com/AI and Copyright Blogs:https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/category/ai/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/11/dr-thaler-is-right-in-part/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/07/californias-ai-law-has-set-rules-for-generative-ai-are-you-ready/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/06/copyright-office-firings-spark-constitutional-concerns-amid-ai-policy-tensions/Newsletter (Article, Video, Podcast): The Human Touch in a Synthetic Age: Why AI-Created Music Raises More Than Just Eyebrows: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/human-touch-synthetic-age-why-ai-created-music-raises-martin-cissp-s9m7e/Article — Universal and Sony Music partner with new platform to detect AI music copyright theft using ‘groundbreaking neural fingerprinting' technology: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/universal-and-sony-music-partner-with-new-platform-to-detect-ai-music-copyright-theft-using-groundbreaking-neural-fingerprinting-technology/Article: When Virtual Reality Is A Commodity, Will True Reality Come At A Premium: https://sean-martin.medium.com/when-virtual-reality-is-a-commodity-will-true-reality-come-at-a-premium-4a97bccb4d72Global Citizen: https://www.globalcitizen.org/Gallo Music (Gallo Records, South Africa): https://www.gallo.co.za/Global Citizen Festival: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/festival/Andy Warhol Foundation v.

“And we got a new Beatles song. I can't believe we're talking about the Beatles…. But John Lennon recorded a really corrupted vocal before he tragically died, and it was just kind of there because of some stem separation tech that is only possible because of machine learning. They were able to clean up the vocals, fully on board with the John Lennon estate and the remaining Beatles members, and there's a few others, but this is interesting. It's just, it's a new way of engaging with audio that people, fans are showing that they really like.” – Drew ThurlowThis episode's guest is a former professional musician turned music executive and strategist.

I wasn't super self-reflective about it, I just kind of like followed my instincts and continued to do that.” He tells us more about his career journey as a music executive and explains how much the business has changed since he first started out. “There's the whole influencer thing wrapped up in it,” he says, “and the way people, especially Gen Z and younger millennials, fall in love with personalities and artists is different. It's not necessarily bad, it's just different.”(0:12:36) - AI Impact on Music IndustryAs the first half of our discussion wraps up, we turn to the question of whether AI might replace human artists, and Drew offers some surprising statistics. “From our best, really good estimates by places like Deezer and Spotify,” he says, “AI-generated music, even though it's a measurable percentage of all the songs on [digital service providers], is a third of a percent of the royalty pool, and I just want to reiterate that it is a rounding error. Nobody wants this music.” He shares his thoughts on where AI is heading and some of the ways it might help transform the music industry. “On the business side,” he tells us, “there's a lot of evidence that these fans want to engage with music in cool and interesting ways, and these AI tech tools allow them

Chuck Berry is known as the “Godfather of Rock'N'Roll” John Lennon, Paul McCartney, everyone in the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, and AC/DC have been very vocal about how berry influenced them…he was rock's first guitar hero, and he was among the first group of musicians to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. But if we dig into his life, we'll find that he was often in trouble with the law…robbery, tax evasion, assault, a hidden camera in a women's restroom, and more.  This is episode 53 of “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry” …and this time, we're looking at the accusations levelled against and the crimes committed by the man who helped invent rock'n'roll.

This week's episode features Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share this with one with you!!  Pigeons is one of my favorite bands — I absolutely love their brand of rollicking, funky rock. Their jams are simply exquisite, and Ben drives this forward motion with his unique style on bass guitar.  Pigeons' eighth album, Feed The Fire is out now, and they're headed out on their Fall tour — catch them while you can!Ben is super thoughtful and a gentle and kind soul, and he talks to me about growing up a shy kid in Baltimore — and we discuss how Ben's unique (some may say unorthodox) style of playing has shaped the Pigeons signature sound. Ben is quite literary and very well read and we go down that rabbit hole a bit… with his love of Physics mixed in just for fun.Ben also talks to me about mental health and some of the challenges he faces. He's super open with a striking and honest self-awareness that is utterly refreshing.  This is an epic conversation with this talented artist, and I can't wait to share this one with you.=======================================Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:38  Introducing Ben Carrey07:17 Celebrating the New Album and Touring Experiences10:21 Collaboration with The Infamous Stringdusters13:15 Exploring Musical Influences and Techniques 16:08 Fretless Bass and Its Unique Qualities 19:10 Cultural Connections and Personal Reflections 22:11 Musical Relationships and Band Dynamics 25:03 The Science of Music and Connection 28:10 Growing Up and Family Ties 33:35 Nostalgia and Family Connections 35:39 The Power of Solitude and Self-Discovery 36:42 Literary Influences and Early Interests 39:38 The Fascination with Physics and Quantum Mechanics 43:49 The Intersection of Science and Spirituality 45:29 The Magic of Music and Sound 48:11 Musical Beginnings and the Journey to Bass 54:04 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Performance 55:46 Mental Health Challenges and the Music Industry 59:40 Finding Balance and Support in Music 01:04:03 Connecting with the Audience and Personal Growth 01:06:18 The Power of Connection and Community 01:08:36 Psychedelics and Mental Health 01:13:52 The Journey of Self-Discovery 01:17:31 The Significance of 'Hit the Ground Running' 01:20:27 Collaborative Evolution in Music 01:24:45 The Impact of Live Performances 01:27:51 Dome Fest and New Beginnings 01:31:32 Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Festivals=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with legendary session drummer Paul Leim, whose six-decade career quietly powers a staggering piece of the soundtrack to our lives. Paul has played on more than 12,000 songs across over 2,000 releases, with 1,400+ silver/gold/platinum certifications, and global sales topping 540 million units. His discography encompasses over 150 combined GRAMMY nominations and wins, as well as 40+ major film/TV awards, and credits on more than 150 films and 100 television specials and series. If you've heard Lionel Richie, Shania Twain, Lyle Lovett, Kenny Chesney, Whitney Houston—or cues from Dirty Dancing, Smokey and the Bandit II, The River, or even Return of the Jedi, you've likely heard Paul.We trace the arc from East Texas clubs and Dallas jingle mills to late-'70s Los Angeles, where a “typical” week meant two complete drum rigs leapfrogging between Lionel Richie sessions, network TV soundstages, film dates, and award shows. Paul talks mentors and “angels” (band director Neil Grant, Robin Hood Brians, Doc Severinsen), lifelong friendships with the TCB family (Ron Tutt, Jerry Scheff), and lessons that still anchor his playing—especially dynamic control and “letting the mics work.” We get inside the high-wire reality of studio life. Paul calls it “95% boredom and 5% sheer terror”, including how to read conductors, when to lead the time, and when to ride it, and what it's like to move from live kit to orchestral percussion with John Williams.There are great shop-floor stories: cutting Lionel's “Truly” and counseling Lionel at the fork-in-the-road moment of leaving the Commodores; discovering that Lyle Lovett's “The Blues Walk” was gloriously vocal-free; and a deep dive into the precision world of Mutt Lange and Shania, ending bass notes just before the snare for mix “air,” the chrome-over-brass “important” snare, and the on-the-fly invention of tom “Mutt flaps” for short, open fills. Paul also shares a personal fork he chose differently: turning down a James Taylor tour to be home with his young family, only to hand JT the final serial-numbered Leim signature snare decades later at the White House.Today, Paul is still very much in motion: bandleading the TCB Band in Europe, steering The Tennessee Four with Thomas Gabriel to carry the Cash legacy, and jumping into Million Dollar Quartet shows—proof that the hang, the humility, and the groove endure. It's a conversation about craft, friendship, stewardship of a gift, and the choices that shape both a career and a life.Music from the Episode:Pick it Apart (Mark O'Connor)Truly (Lionel Richie)The Blues Walk (Lyle Lovett)Thank you for listening.

Gav and James sit down for their third pod in six days (before the big man left on holiday) and leave no stone unturned in their search for fresh chat. AI bands, end-of-days conspiracy theories, cartoon reviews, football analogues, restaurant bloopers, when people leak the wrong band playing ATG and the importance of music press. What would happen if our festivals collapsed?

Flyte are the British duo of songwriters Will Taylor and Nicolas Hill, who started creating together in grade school before signing to a major label (Island Records), leaving that for indie labels (Nettwerk), working with producers such as Ethan Johns, and collaborating with the likes of The Staves, Laura Marling, and Madison Cunningham. We talk with them about a lot of the inner workings of their songwriting practice and approach to record making, classic British emotional repression, coping, creative confusion, commodification, and a whole lot more.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:FlyteBlackabyNick LoweYep RocEleanor MossReal World StudiosEthan JohnsGlyn JohnsSigridEp 119 - Dan ReederBBC Radio OneClick here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Over the past few days, Justin Timberlake has been in the spotlight for several reasons. Most notably, he has been focusing on his health after revealing a diagnosis of Lyme disease, which he shared publicly after wrapping up his "Forget Tomorrow World Tour" in July. Timberlake has emphasized the importance of prioritizing his well-being, especially after a tumultuous tour where he faced criticism for lackluster performances, partly due to his health issues. He has been taking time off to spend with his family and focus on recovery, reports indicate that he is exploring treatments and is committed to getting better.In addition to his health concerns, Timberlake has been in the news for his recent support of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears. According to a source, Timberlake remains sympathetic towards Spears amid her ex-husband's memoir drama, deeming the claims made against her as "despicable."Speculation about his marriage to Jessica Biel has also surfaced, with some reports suggesting she feels frustrated with his lack of support for her burgeoning production career. However, these claims are not confirmed and should be taken with caution.On the business front, Timberlake has expressed regret over his involvement in creating the iconic McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" jingle, though he has been involved in numerous other brand partnerships throughout his career.Looking ahead, Timberlake is set to perform at BottleRock Napa Valley in 2025 alongside other big names like Green Day. This event is a significant appearance for him as he slowly returns to the spotlight after focusing on his health.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber continues to stir headlines with dramatic social media activity and unexpected public appearances. The most talked-about event this week centers on Selena Gomez's recent wedding to Benny Blanco, where an insider to Star magazine claims tensions flared after Bieber posted Hailey Bieber's song I Do to his Instagram on the very same day. Benny Blanco is reportedly “100 percent” blaming Justin for stirring up trouble and causing pain to Gomez, especially given the highly public timing of the post. Selena herself responded to Hailey on social media, quickly deleting the message, but not before reigniting long-standing speculation of competitive undertones and complicated crossovers between their respective beauty lines, Rare Beauty and Rhode. The gossip circles fault Justin for catalyzing public disputes between the two women—a pattern that, according to sources, shows little sign of stopping.Beyond social media drama, Bieber's public persona has taken a more celebratory turn. On October 14, Justin surprised fans at SRGN Studios in Los Angeles by jumping on the drums alongside a local Mexican band during the football game of his team, Skylark. Footage from Beliebers Squad shows fans crowding, cameras up, as Justin beams with happiness, totally absorbed in the impromptu jam session. The very next day, he was spotted taking the court again for Skylark, the moment once more capturing social media attention for his exuberant, low-key engagement with fans.Headlines also touched on business matters. Music Business Worldwide detailed Avex Music Group's recent expansion, naming Justin's longtime band member Harv as a key producer and collaborator—particularly as Harv produced and co-wrote Bieber's latest track Swag with We The Band, now officially signed to Avex. This signals Justin's continued relevance in music industry deals and creative collaborations, even as he scales back from solo promotional activity. According to Ledger Note's list of the top ten richest musicians for April 2025, Bieber's net worth stands at $285 million, buoyed by ongoing royalties, business ventures, and investment ties.Bieber's relationship with his wife, Hailey, remains in the spotlight thanks to her blockbuster sale of Rhode Beauty to e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion and subsequent interviews in WSJ Magazine and Fortune, where Hailey emphasized her intent to invest the windfall wisely for their son's future. The ongoing success and visibility of Rhode, plus Hailey's rise as a beauty mogul, keep Justin tied to major entertainment and entrepreneurial circles. With Red Carpet PDA, social media drama, and surprise music moments all in one week, Justin Bieber proves he remains a pop culture lightning rod—whether by chance, design, or the curiosity of millions.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's week has been a study in public intrigue and unyielding celebrity momentum. At the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 19, Justin appeared on the red carpet, catching up with longtime friends like Kendall Jenner. The moment, widely photographed, doubled as an affirmation of his enduring social gravity and the unspoken alliances that underpin Hollywood's elite circles, as reported by AOL. Not to be outdone by glamorous events, Bieber slipped into sport mode just days before—on October 16—taking the court at SRGN Studio for Skylark, which created a ripple online among basketball and pop culture fans. While not as headline-grabbing as a new album, his court appearance highlights his penchant for engaging with fans beyond just music.It would not be a true Justin Bieber news cycle without a dose of drama. According to Reality Tea, Selena Gomez's husband Benny Blanco pointed fingers at Justin, accusing him of stirring up emotional trouble for Selena. This tension peaked when Justin posted the wedding song “I Do,” written for Hailey Bieber, on the very day of Selena and Benny's own nuptials—an act seen by insiders as pointed and “totally out of nowhere.” Selena's now-deleted social media response was a quiet acknowledgment of the pain, and Benny's protective stance underscores the ongoing friction that continues to thread through Justin's biography. The competitive undertones between Selena's Rare Beauty and Hailey's Rhode further add fuel to this fire, giving gossip columnists and fans plenty to dissect in terms of brand rivalries and personal allegiances.On the business front, Bieber's entrepreneurial reach remains formidable. LedgerNote places his net worth at a staggering $285 million, a testament to not only record sales and streaming, but also a sharp portfolio that includes properties like a $26 million Beverly Hills mansion and a lakeside escape in Ontario, according to Palify. This financial prowess, coupled with his enduring musical influence—collaborations, global tours, and award wins—cements him as not just a pop icon but a lasting industry leader, a narrative further detailed by Spreaker's recent audio biography episodes.There's no confirmed major new release or public scandal this week, but stories swirling around Justin's alleged involvement in Selena Gomez's emotional affairs and his ongoing participation in high-profile events keep him everywhere from tabloid columns to serious business headlines. For biographical significance, the spotlight falls on his role as a celebrity catalyst in pop culture relationships, his public persona management around Hailey and Selena, and his continued evolution from child star to mogul. If anything, this past week proves yet again that all roads in pop culture eventually pass through Justin Bieber.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Show NotesIn this episode, we unpack the core ideas behind the Sonic Frontiers article “From Sampling to Scraping: AI Music, Rights, and the Return of Creative Control.” As AI-generated music floods streaming platforms, rights holders are deploying new tools like neural fingerprinting to detect derivative works — even when no direct sampling occurs. But what does it mean to “detect influence,” and can algorithms truly distinguish theft from inspiration?We explore the implications for artists who want to experiment with AI without being replaced by it, and the shifting desires of listeners who may soon prefer human-made music the way some still seek out vinyl, film cameras, or wooden roller coasters — not for efficiency, but for the feel.The article also touches on the burden of rights enforcement in this new age. While major labels can embed detection systems, who protects the independent artist? And if AI enables anyone to create, does it also require everyone to monitor?This episode invites you to reflect on what we value in music: speed and volume, or craft and control?

From viral TikTok moments at Coachella to a billboard stunt that had the internet talking, IZZA's been turning heads with her creative, bold approach to pop music—and storytelling. In this episode of Bringin' it Backwards, Adam Lisicky sits down with Los Angeles-born IZZA as she shares her journey from growing up in Encino surrounded by music-loving parents, to diving into songwriting at age thirteen and studying music business at USC. IZZA opens up about the challenges of finding her feet as an independent artist, from teaching herself music production so she could make her own demos, to navigating a male-dominated studio world and creating her signature sound. You'll get the behind-the-scenes stories on her Coachella guerrilla performances—where she brought her own MIDI keyboard and filmed herself playing “Gentlemen”—and the infamous revenge billboard she put up outside her ex's apartment to promote her single. IZZA also teases her forthcoming EP, “Because I'm Blonde,” and dishes on her recent “Sweat” single and video, which brings early 2010s pop vibes into the modern era. This episode's loaded with honest advice for aspiring artists about finding your own voice, building your own path, and staying true to your creative vision—even when the industry doesn't make it easy. Tune in to hear how IZZA is reshaping what it means to be a pop artist today, and don't forget to subscribe to Bringin' it Backwards for more inside stories from both legendary and rising artists.

This episode of the World Saving Podcast starts silly and quickly turns into a brutally honest look at the music industry in 2025. You will hear unfiltered talk about ego, gatekeeping, inflated touring costs, bus rentals, backline fees, and why festivals feel like a risky bet. It is part therapy session and part industry reality check. The conversation then widens into community, capitalism, and whether modern music lost its rebel spirit. There is talk about audience expectations, Live Nation headlines, club economics, and what it takes to keep a band on the road. Things get weirdly fun with reality TV chatter about Love Is Blind in Denver, a detour into aliens and UAPs (also known as UFOs), like Atlas, plus how AI and copyright are changing creativity and marketing. A timely call from comedy legend Todd Glass adds real perspective on progress, history, and why the next generation might actually fix some of this. It is raw, funny, and surprisingly hopeful.
