Ladies and gentlemen, this is Oprelia—and in this video I break down the exact “create → distribute → get paid” pipeline for AI music, using the recent Velvet Sundown story as the big wake-up call. They reportedly pulled in around $20K–$25K from going viral on Spotify, and it kicked off a ton of debate because the music and even the band visuals were AI-generated. I’m not here to tell you to do anything shady—I’m here to show you what platforms actually allow AI uploads right now, and how to do this the smart (and safer) way. First, I go through the best AI music generators for instrumentals and vocals—Suno being the most popular right now (and yes, I’ve released AI albums myself). I also cover Soundverse, Loudly, Soundraw, and Udio, plus the big “gotcha” people ignore: free plans often don’t include commercial rights, and that’s where people get into trouble. Then I switch into distribution: Loudly (also a generator + distributor), DistroKid, Unchained Music, Soundrop, and TuneCore—and why getting into more stores matters because Spotify is insanely saturated. I also share practical tips like doing 5–6 tracks minimum, naming tracks with search-friendly terms, and moving fast before the space gets even more crowded.
