Mikey Shulman’s Post

I started using Suno as a way to turn my old poems and six-word stories into lyrics, with the idea of using it as a portfolio for my lyricism. I would love it if you would launch Suno Demo, whereby paid tiers are allowed 1 to 3 songs which they can pitch to 2-3 artists from the Warner stable who opt-in. Artists who have hit a flat spot, looking for inspiration, a revival or that comeback song. Conversely Suno paid users are allowed to list 1-3 songs that can only be viewed by Warner artists as an open pitch. We list in which 3 genres it can fall in. An artist may say why use my likeness when I can use my own voice, I really love that song, I want to rerecord it my way, and I want to sing it live. 

I can’t play an instrument—I truly admire those who can. But with Suno, I was finally able to express myself musically. And now, I fear that’s over. That’s really disheartening. Because when you look at all the image and video AIs out there, you realize: they’re doing the exact same thing musicians do with their music. Just like we all do. We hear, see, or experience something—and a new idea is born. Back in the day, I would’ve had no chance of bringing that to life. But today, with AI, I can. And so I’ve been able to make music, even though I don’t know the traditional way to do it. If someone in the future wants to use songs or lyrics that sound like artist X, let them do it—and pay the right license for it. Still, I ask you—please, let me keep living my dream of creating my own music. Frank -2-

Dear Suno Team, It’s a real shame that you couldn’t withstand the pressure from the music industry. Announcing plans to collaborate with artists isn’t a bad thing in itself. Still, it makes me think that my songs (yes, I write my own songs) might no longer belong to me. I’ve created so many pieces—some with deeply personal lyrics. Sometimes I just hummed a melody, and your product, Suno, brought it to life. If others’ rights are involved, they should absolutely be respected. But I’m afraid that my way of making music—expressing my thoughts and feelings through it—might soon come to an end. Every new Suno song will probably be stamped with “licensed by your new owner” in bold letters. -1-

Unsurprising that 2 companies that love to take advantage of musicians partner with each other. But it's okay because "it's not really enjoyable to make music" right Mikey? Current fair use laws from the 80's and 90's totally had a transformer model like bark in mind when they wrote that right? They foresaw that you would be able to pump the entirety of published music into an AI model and get it to regurgitate it on demand and avoid copyright law? I didn't think so. What Suno is doing is not going to be good for musicians.

Thank you for posting this, Mikey, and for the link. I just read the entire announcement, and I'm feeling optimistic. As a lyricist who composes his own words and who uses Suno as a studio that breathes life into them, this feels like a vital step on the path toward a more secure and principled future for independent creators. I can absolutely sympathize with those who are feeling a sense of anxiety, this is the nature of change, there will always be a blend of conflicting emotions. But the clarity with respect to downloads, the security of creators, and the retention of the essence of the creative experience, gives me faith in the direction we're going in. To all here, I wish you brighter days in this next chapter. Let's keep creating with heart and honesty. 🎶✨

might be the surprise AI team up for 2025. smart of warner to create new ways for fans to remix music

I have very mixed feelings on this announcement.

The Storm Has Passed. Now the Real Work Begins. Congratulations, Mikey Shulman. This WMG partnership is the victory Suno needed. You navigated the "learning defense" vs. the "access" dilemma with grit. It reminds me of the youthful urge to "liberate" knowledge from the reference desk—sometimes innovation moves faster than permission. Despite the critics and the legal maze, you kept the ship afloat. Now, we must pivot to education. I urge you to review my Patent Pending Provisional Utility Application (Oct 3, 2025) regarding a novel "Method and System for AI-Assisted Music Composition and Production." This is the blueprint for the next phase of professional AI music. I’ve been a loyal Suno user since June 2024. I have been so vocal about educating the industry on this shift that it actually cost me my LinkedIn Premium account—sometimes "levels of truth" are hard for platforms to digest—but I am still here. Hold your head high. Blazing a trail not everyone wants to see often leaves some scorched earth behind. Let’s connect. (317)760-3545 or bruce@sagcious-sounds.com

Mikey- That's GREAT NEWS! I apologize for reaching out this way, but I've been a dedicated Suno.ai user and I've had a persistent "BUG" in my account for about a month now. Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts, I haven't received any response from customer service. This is significantly impacting my ability to use the platform, and I'm really keen to get back to creating. Is there any way you might be able to help escalate this internally or point me to a direct contact who can look into it? I'd be happy to share my account details privately. Thanks for your time."
