Africa-Press – Uganda. For many African artists, creating music has often meant navigating challenges such as limited resources, expensive studios, and complex copyright issues. But KorinAI, a portfolio startup of FirstFounders, is changing that by launching Africa’s first AI-powered music lab. This innovative platform is designed to make music creation accessible to anyone, empowering artists and content creators across the continent to transform their ideas into music with ease.
This launch is a milestone that aims to democratize music production, allowing artists, content creators, and even filmmakers to bring their musical ideas to life with ease. The platform enables users to input lyrics, select a music style, and upload their voice—if desired. The AI then generates a full song based on the input, blending traditional African sounds with contemporary music styles. This tool opens up a new era for music creators across the continent who previously struggled with limited resources and copyright issues.
The Vision Behind KorinAI
The journey behind KorinAI began when Philips Olajide-Philips, a music professional and AI engineer, found it challenging to create a unique music project while avoiding copyright issues. In 2019, he and his co-founder, Solomon Ogunbowale, a mobile developer, recognized a lack of adequate tools to produce music in Africa, which ultimately led to the development of this pioneering platform.
Philips Olajide-Philips, the CEO of KorinAI, shared, “We are building the future of AI music in Africa, where the only limitations are the ones in your mind. With KorinAI, we’re enabling anyone with an idea to turn it into music without barriers.”
AI-Powered Features that Set KorinAI Apart
KorinAI’s powerful AI tools offer music creators a range of features designed to elevate their work:
AI-Driven Music Creation: Users can blend African traditional sounds with modern genres to create something truly unique.
Vocal Enhancement: AI technology improves vocal clarity, providing professional-quality sound with minimal effort.
Personalized Vocal Recordings: Tailored to individual artists, the platform customizes the vocal enhancement to suit various vocal types.
Automated Mastering: Users can master their tracks with AI-powered presets tailored to specific genres.
Seamless Distribution: KorinAI’s integration with streaming platforms makes it easier for creators to share their music with the world.
This new platform is expected to be especially valuable for aspiring artists and filmmakers, offering them a cost-effective way to turn lyrics, scripts, or creative concepts into high-quality music and soundtracks without needing a traditional studio setup.
A Game-Changer for African Artists
What makes KorinAI particularly revolutionary is its accessibility. For African artists who have traditionally faced challenges with expensive recording studios and limited access to music production resources, this platform offers an AI solution that’s cost-effective, efficient, and easy to use. Aspiring musicians and content creators can now focus on their creative ideas and let the technology handle the production side.
Through the KorinAI platform, Africa’s diverse sounds, from Afrobeats to traditional rhythms, can now be merged with modern influences, paving the way for a new wave of genre-defying music. By empowering African artists with AI tools, KorinAI promises to put the continent on the global music map like never before.
FirstFounders , a venture studio committed to building, investing in, and scaling AI-driven startups across Africa, is backing KorinAI. FirstFounders backed KorinAI right from when it was just an idea, provided operational and technical support from the ground up to build what it is today.
With six other startups in their portfolio, FirstFounders take pride in backing daring founders from an idea to a full fledged startup.
