Fireside Chat - When the Voice is Yours: Blanco Brown on Artistry in the Age of AI

Tuesday, May 12 - 2:05 PM - 2:35 PM EDT

As AI-generated music races ahead, Blanco Brown emerged as one of the first major artists to confront an imitation of his own voice with creativity rather than panic. In this fireside chat with Dmitri Vietze, he reflects on the moment an AI-driven Country hit mimicked his sound — and how he chose to reclaim his voice through new recordings, openness, and artistic integrity. Together, we’ll explore what his response signals for the industry’s evolving expectations around ownership, innovation, and respect for real artists.
