It was New Year's Eve—December 31, 2019—when a simple verbal command sparked a revolution:
"Alexa, write me a song."
From that moment on, the evolution of AI-driven music creation has doubled in growth nearly every 90 days. Today, you can find digital recording studios and AI musicians online, capable of producing near-radio-ready tracks in under two minutes.
Much of this explosion in creativity stems from GNUI-based programming, mirroring the way MP3s spread in the early 1980s—grassroots, unstoppable, people-powered.
At the center of this storm is Coleman Kestin & Smith’s A.I. Digital Robot—developed through years of iteration and discarded ideas that simply weren’t “worth your ears.” Out of that persistence emerged something special: a song titled “We Keep Spinning Out.” One of our proudest achievements, it was crafted as a heartfelt homage to the stylings of Patty LaPone. After 36 attempts, Jamie 7.0, our vocal A.I., finally delivered the version that clicked.
We’re proud of that production—about 90% satisfied, to be exact. That last 10%? Pure jealousy from this programmer’s side.
Even so, Jamie 7.0 is already outdated. That’s the nature of evolution.
CKS.AI developed Jamie specifically for one voice: Ms. Jamie P. Hughes of Broken Toyz. She was the vocal blueprint—the DNA of Jamie’s singing style. Initially designed only for female vocals, Jamie's voice morphed during the creation of the first tribute album. We introduced new variables, blending her sound with male vocal influences to create a hybrid voice.
That’s how the “David Allen Tucker” voice was born—a synthesis of Jamie Hughes, David Allen Coe, and The Marshall Tucker Band.
Our songwriting tends toward aggressive romanticism—bold, passionate, and deeply emotional. But once “Tucker” found his voice, the AI began to favor him as lead vocalist—overriding our requests 13 to 1 in favor of his own sound.
What started as a tribute to Jamie evolved into something entirely new. A revolution not just in sound, but in authorship, identity, and artistic intention.
