A few years ago, I never imagined that I would be creating and releasing my own music online. I’m not a professional singer, music producer, or composer. I was simply curious about AI technology and wanted to explore what was possible.
That curiosity eventually led me into the world of AI music generation.
Today, anyone with an idea, creativity, and the right AI tools can create songs, music videos, and even release music worldwide on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, and YouTube Music.
In this blog post, I’ll share my journey creating AI-generated music, the tools I used, my honest experience with music distribution, and some tips if you want to start your own AI music journey too.
My First AI Song: “Magandang Asal Kids”
My first AI-generated song was actually created for an educational YouTube channel for kids. The song was called “Magandang Asal Kids.”
I created it using AI just out of curiosity. At that time, I was amazed that AI could generate vocals, melodies, lyrics, and instrumentals within minutes.

For that project, I used one of the most popular AI music generators today:
🎵 Suno AI
Honestly, Suno AI is still one of the best AI music generators I’ve tried so far. The quality is impressive, especially for beginners who don’t have a full music production setup.
I even subscribed to their $10 plan just to get the commercial license for my songs.
Why AI Music is So Powerful
One thing I realized is that AI music tools are changing the game for content creators.
Before, creating music required:
- expensive recording studios
- microphones
- instruments
- music production skills
- singers and producers
But now, AI tools can help you:
- generate songs
- create instrumentals
- write lyrics
- produce vocals
- create music videos
- distribute music worldwide
Even if you’re not a musician.
That’s what makes AI music exciting.
Discovering Sonauto AI
While exploring AI music tools, I eventually discovered a newer alternative called Sonauto AI.
What I liked about it was that beginners could start creating music without spending too much money.
This is actually where I created my newest AI-generated single titled:
🎵 NAKA FUNNY FACE
Watch the short preview here:

The song has a fun Gen Z indie pop vibe with catchy Taglish lyrics.
What surprised me was how good AI-generated music can sound today, especially when you combine:
- catchy hooks
- creative lyrics
- AI-generated vocals
- short-form video content
AI music is becoming more realistic every year.
My Honest Experience With Music Distribution
At first, I tried distributing my music using UnitedMasters.
I upgraded to:
- DEBUT+ – $19.99/year
- later upgraded to Select Unlimited – $59.99/year
The platform allowed:
- unlimited releases
- 100% royalties
- distribution to 50+ music services
Honestly, the platform itself was good.
But because I became busy with work and didn’t consistently promote my music, after one year I only earned:
💰 $0.04
Not enough to even renew my active membership.
This taught me an important lesson:
Creating music is only half the journey.
Promotion and consistency matter too.
Why I Switched to RouteNote
Because AI music is evolving fast, I started looking for a beginner-friendly and more affordable music distribution alternative.
That’s when I found:
What I like about RouteNote:
- free music distribution
- beginner friendly
- supports Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, YouTube Music, and more
- no upfront payment required for the free plan
For creators who are just starting with AI music, RouteNote is honestly one of the easiest ways to distribute songs worldwide.
How I Released My AI Song Worldwide
The process was surprisingly simple.
Step 1: Create Your AI Song
I used AI music generators like:
- Suno AI
- Sonauto AI
Step 2: Create Cover Artwork
I used AI-generated visuals and editing tools like chatgpt to create music artwork and thumbnails.
Step 3: Upload to RouteNote
I added:
- song title
- artist name
- genre
- artwork
- audio file
- metadata
Step 4: Submit for Review
After submission, RouteNote reviews the release before distributing it to music platforms.
That’s it.
Now my AI-generated song is on its way to becoming an official worldwide music release.
Creating AI Singing Videos
Another fun part of AI music is creating AI singing videos and animated visuals.
For this, I highly recommend:
This tool allows you to:
- create talking avatars
- animate photos
- create singing AI characters
- make engaging music videos
- produce TikTok and Shorts content
This is especially useful if:
- you don’t want to appear on camera
- you want faceless content
- you want fast video creation
Tips To Become Successful With AI Music
AI music is still new, but there are already creators getting millions of views using AI-generated songs.
Here are some tips I learned:
1. Focus on Catchy Hooks
The first few seconds matter the most.
2. Keep Songs Short and Replayable
Short songs work well for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
3. Use Vertical Videos
Vertical music videos perform better on mobile platforms.
4. Create Eye-Catching Thumbnails
A good thumbnail can dramatically increase clicks.
5. Stay Consistent
Don’t expect instant income. Keep releasing content.
6. Build Your Artist Branding
Create a unique identity, style, and visual theme.
7. Use AI as a Tool
AI helps speed up creativity, but your ideas and personality still matter.
Final Thoughts
AI music is opening new opportunities for creators around the world.
You no longer need expensive equipment or a professional studio just to release your own songs. With the right AI tools, creativity, and consistency, anyone can start creating music today.
For me, what started as simple curiosity eventually became an exciting creative journey.
And honestly, this is probably only the beginning.
If you’re curious about AI music, don’t be afraid to experiment and start creating your own songs.
Who knows? Your first AI-generated track could be your next viral hit.
