AI helped a musician with Parkinson’s finish his new album when he could no longer play guitar
Smith used Suno and Udio demos to guide session musicians after Parkinson’s weakened his guitar playing, helping finish his second album.
- London singer-songwriter Samuel Smith is using artificial intelligence to complete his new album, 'The Art of Letting Go', after Parkinson's disease impaired his ability to play guitar.
- Diagnosed with the progressive neurological disorder in 2020, Smith faced deteriorating guitar skills due to tremors, stiffness, and fatigue that threatened his musical identity.
- To convey his vision to session musicians, Smith generated AI demos often requiring up to 150 attempts before recording with Grammy-winning producer Matt Rollings.
- On May 21, Smith collaborated with the Berklee Music and Health Institute to discuss how AI supports musicians with neurological conditions, stating 'AI is not replacing anything for me.'
- Generative tools continue to divide the music industry, with Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Warner Records having sued Suno and Udio over copyright concerns.
