Superfans and Voice AI5/9/2025 The music industry is increasingly building products and experiences for the "superfan". What are superfans' wildest wishes? What new possibilities exist with AI? One dream superfans might have is to collaborate with their favorite artist. How cool would it be if your voice was layered into your favorite artist's live set? Take the song "San Francisco" by Dom Dolla as an example. Right before the drop, a voice says "San Francisco, where's your disco?" Now picture this moment live—only the voice is yours. And instead of “San Francisco,” it’s the name of the city you’re in. Or better yet, it's a custom hype phrase unbeknownst to you—in your voice--dropped in as a surprise during the set. Voice AI can make all of this possible. For artists, this kind of idea opens up new possibilities for marketing and fan engagement. Before a show, an artist could invite fans to submit voice clips, with the chance to be featured as a lucky voice played during the show. Together, the artist and the fans co-create a performance that is unique and unforgettable. I used Manus, an AI agent, to create a quick proof-of-concept, integrating ElevenLabs and Google's TextFX. As someone without a coding background, I had fun learning through the process of guiding, troubleshooting, and interacting with Manus. GitHub here and an overview below: The FanVoiceApp is a project aimed at enhancing fan engagement before and during live shows. This tool allows artists and DJs to:

What else is possible? Ultimately, the point is not about a specific idea. It's about sparking a creative brainstorm for how AI can transform fan experiences and deepen the connection between artists and their audiences. The possibilities are endless, and we're just getting started. Comments are closed.
