Koppa Gekon Admits Using AI In His Songs

Kenyan musician Koppa Gekon, best known for his viral hit “Calender ya Mungu,” has admitted to using artificial intelligence (AI) to master his music. However, he firmly insists that all his lyrics and compositions are 100% his own work.

Speaking in a recent interview, the artist revealed that while he embraces new technology to enhance his sound quality, he remains deeply committed to preserving his originality in songwriting.

“I use AI for mastering to get a crisp, professional sound, but every lyric, every melody, and every concept comes from me,” Koppa Gekon explained.

AI tools have become increasingly popular in music production, offering artists faster and more affordable mastering solutions. These tools analyze audio and apply professional-grade enhancements, a process that traditionally required expensive studio sessions.

For independent artists like Koppa Gekon, AI mastering provides an opportunity to compete with top-tier productions without breaking the bank.

However, the use of AI in music has also sparked debates, with some critics questioning whether AI-generated enhancements diminish artistic authenticity.

Following his revelation, fans had mixed reactions. Some praised the artist for being transparent and embracing innovation, while others expressed concerns about the role of AI in the creative process.

“As long as he writes his own music, AI mastering is just a tool like any other,” one fan commented.

“The industry is changing, and AI is here to stay. Artists need to adapt,” another added.

Koppa Gekon’s admission sheds light on the growing influence of AI in Kenya’s music scene. While some artists are hesitant to integrate AI into their work, others see it as a powerful tool to refine their sound and reach global audiences.

With the music industry evolving rapidly, it remains to be seen how Kenyan musicians will balance technological advancements with artistic authenticity. For now, Koppa Gekon continues to make waves, proving that talent and technology can coexist in modern music production.
