Composer/Percussionist

I have built a ChatGPT collaboration workflow that functions as a true creative partner in my hybrid AI songwriting process. Within that project, I developed multiple instruction sets that guide how GPT and I interact while shaping lyrics, structure, and musical direction. The process begins with the core story. I work through the narrative first, because that is where I determine the emotional center, mood, and overall intent of the song. Once the story is clear, I move into selecting the song form that best serves that idea rather than forcing the story into a structure that does not fit. With the story and form established, GPT and I begin exploring hook options. Once the hook is defined, I work through chorus development by selecting the rhyme scheme, cadence, and lyrical direction. From there, I continue developing lyrical ideas in collaboration with GPT until the chorus feels strong enough to carry the song. After the chorus is in place, I follow a similar process to flesh out the verses, pre-chorus, and bridge where appropriate, always shaping each section to serve the story and emotional arc. Once the lyrics are complete, GPT and I explore stylistic directions and develop several Suno style prompts for each song. For every lyric, I also work with GPT to craft possible performance approaches and harmonic progressions for Suno. With those elements defined, the final GPT stage is to create several Suno lyric prompts that include performance and harmonic guidance. Inside Suno, I begin generating draft performances from those prompts. I then bring selected drafts into the Suno editor, where I continue developing additional section ideas and refining the overall outline. Once I have outlines that feel promising, I move into a cover-generation phase, using multiple lyric and performance prompts to shape revisions and push the song closer to its final form. The final step is to run the demos through MasteringBOX to dial in the finished master.
