In a world where music creation demands significant resources, the startup KorinAI offers a solution for African artists. This revolutionary platform leverages artificial intelligence to simplify music production.
The Birth of KorinAI
The idea of KorinAI was born in 2019 when musician Philips Olajide-Philips faced challenges recording his debut album due to high studio costs and resource limitations. By developing a concept based on generative AI technology, he, alongside Solomon Ogunbowale, launched KorinAI in 2024.
KorinAI focuses on creating music using African languages, genres, and cultural authenticity while providing accessible and high-quality solutions for artists.
Interface and Features of KorinAI
The platform offers an intuitive interface that allows users to input song titles and lyrics, select genres (Afrobeats, Afropop, and more), and choose vocal styles. Within minutes, KorinAI generates a professionally produced track.
Philips noted: 'You can create a song that sounds like it came out of a serious studio, even without experience.'
Ethics and the Future of Music Production
KorinAI also addresses ethical questions related to copyright and data usage. The platform collaborates with African producers and vocalists, ensuring lawful use of materials.
Philips emphasized the importance of creating our own tools to not fall behind global trends and to support the diversity of African culture in the global music industry.
KorinAI represents a new era in music production for African artists, providing access to modern technology and ensuring ethical use of resources. The platform is growing and evolving, unlocking new opportunities for music creators across the continent.
