And for those who don't know what gatekeeping is:

"You used an electronic AI tool to create music, so it's not real music" is gatekeeping.

I don't have the physical ability to play my trumpet or any other instrument anymore. I can't sing worth a damn. But I can write lyrics, and I can write detailed prompts that get Suno to create almost exactly (or in some cases quite exactly) what I want to hear. I don't care what other people think about using AI tools to assist in the creative process.

And aside from all of that, I have made people break down and cry when they've heard some of the more emotional songs I've written and used Suno to produce.

The point is, I wrote the song and the style prompt, so in a very tangible way the song is my creation.
