Charlie Puth has been named the chief music officer at AI music platform Moises, the company announced Wednesday, with Puth set to consult Moises for the company’s “creative and product direction.”
Whereas some of the most notable AI music platforms like Suno and Udio have garnered significant buzz — and controversy — for allowing users to generate music recordings with a prompt and push of a button, Moises offers non-generative AI music production tools like vocal isolation and mastering to help speed up the recording process.
“I’ve been using Moises in my own creative process for years, as have many of my friends,” Puth said in a statement. “It opens up possibilities that used to take hours or expensive studio setups, whether that’s isolating vocals to study technique or experimenting with arrangements in real time. AI, when done right, isn’t here to replace musicians. It’s here to help artists learn, explore and bring their ideas to life.”
Moises CEO Geraldo Ramos added: “Musicianship has always evolved alongside technology, and AI represents the next chapter in that story. But we believe the future of music creation isn’t about AI generating songs for you. It’s about AI amplifying what makes human creativity irreplaceable: intuition, emotion and artistic vision. AI should be a brush in the artist’s hand, not a paint-by-numbers kit. Championing that human element is our passion and purpose.”
Puth’s new role at Moises isn’t the first time the singer has waded in the waters with AI music tech. Back in 2023, Puth was one of the artists alongside the likes of Charli XCX, Demi Lovato and John Legend, who allowed his voice to be used for YouTube’s AI music experiment Dream Track.
At the time, Puth had said that YouTube understood “the need to work together to develop this technology responsibly, ensuring it will accelerate creativity instead of replacing it.”
