We recently hosted SOUNDRAW Camp at OS NYC on 50 Bowery in Manhattan this past Friday, July 26th. This vibrant event brought together a diverse crowd of music producers, artists, and industry professionals to explore the intersection of AI and music creation and get hands on experience with our AI music generator.
Star-Studded Kickoff with Fivio Foreign
SOUNDRAW Camp kicked off with an electrifying surprise as Brooklyn drill rap star Fivio Foreign took center stage. Known for his breakout hit "Big Drip" and collaborations with industry heavyweights, Fivio brought his raw energy and authentic style to the camp.
Building on Past Success: "Doin' Me"
Fivio's appearance at the camp followed his groundbreaking work with SOUNDRAW on the track "Doin' Me", one of the first major rap songs to incorporate AI-generated beats. This previous collaboration had already demonstrated the potential of merging human creativity with artificial intelligence in music production.
Live Demo and Insights
At SOUNDRAW Camp, Fivio demonstrated the platform's capabilities in real-time, creating beats and discussing how AI has influenced his creative process since working on "Doin' Me." He engaged with attendees and the SOUNDRAW team, including CEO Daigo Kusunoki, sharing insights on how AI technology has complemented his distinctive style.
Reflecting on his ongoing relationship with SOUNDRAW, Fivio shared:
"Working with SOUNDRAW has been an incredible journey. Since 'Doin' Me,' I've seen firsthand how this AI technology can create beats that fit my style perfectly. It's opening up new possibilities for my music."\
Hands-On Experience with SOUNDRAW
Throughout the venue, demo stations were set up, allowing attendees to get hands-on experience with the SOUNDRAW platform. Music enthusiasts and professionals alike took turns experimenting with the AI-assisted music creation tools, crafting unique beats and exploring the vast possibilities offered by the technology. The air was filled with a palpable sense of creativity as participants discovered new ways to enhance their musical ideas using SOUNDRAW's innovative features.
Recording Booth: Bridging Technology & Talent
One of the highlights of SOUNDRAW Camp was the dedicated recording booth. Here, artists were invited to take their experience with the platform to the next level by recording songs using SOUNDRAW-generated beats. This real-time demonstration of the platform's capabilities in a professional recording environment showcased how seamlessly AI can be integrated into the music production workflow. Participants left the booth with tangible results of their creativity, further cementing the potential of AI in music creation.

Live Showcase
The event featured a lineup of impressive live performances that got the crowd energized. Rising stars Nyla Nune and Seanysean, among others, took to the stage, delivering captivating sets that demonstrated their unique styles and musical prowess. These performances, while not incorporating AI elements, provided a perfect counterpoint to the tech-focused aspects of the camp, reminding attendees of the power of live, unassisted musical talent.
SOUNDRAW Beat Battle
The highlight of the event was an exhilarating beat battle that pushed the boundaries of traditional freestyle competitions. Participants were challenged to showcase their lyrical skills over beats they created with SOUNDRAW's AI music generator.
Contestants had to think on their feet, adapting their flow and rhymes to AI-created beats they were hearing for the first time. This unique format not only tested the rappers' improvisational abilities but also demonstrated the versatility and quality of SOUNDRAW's AI-generated music.
The battle created an electric atmosphere as spectators witnessed the seamless blend of human creativity and artificial intelligence. Rappers skillfully navigated the AI-produced beats, creating on-the-spot performances that were both impressive and catchy.
