Gigmor Pro New Releases: K. Cero – Body

K. Cero is in the midst of creating a new music project he hopes to release in the upcoming year. For his recent song “Body”, the artist tells us the inspiration comes from being “Stuck at home during the quarantine period of 2020, and missing the feeling of going out and being around people. That’s why I say in the hook that ‘I wanna feel your body, and we ain’t gotta tell nobody’. [The song comes from] the idea of having to sneak and be secretive about seeing someone during that quarantine period. I also wanted to make a song that listeners could have fun and dance to once everything returned to some kind of normal.”

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Mac Miller, Kanye West, Kehlani, and Giveon, you can clearly see the similarities in “Body.”

In the near future, K.Cero hopes to perform more in the Los Angeles area, and adds “With the help of Gigmor, I know those opportunities will come.”

Stephen Cue

Gigmor Pro New Releases: Stephen Cue – Haunting (Feat. Jungle Ship)

Stephen Cue is a budding recording artist specializing in Pop and Soul from Dallas, Texas. Stephen comes from humble beginnings where he began singing and leading praise and worship at his local church. He tells us his passion is to inspire others and wants to touch people’s hearts in a positive way through music. 

Stephen grew up inspired by artists such as Fred Hammond and Tye Tribbet and senses that his audience can hear their influence in his music. As he grew as a musician, he discovered more artists to take inspiration from, such as Musiq Soulchild, Ludacris, Marvin Gaye, and Kanye West. 

The emotions in his recent song “Haunting” are drawn from heartbreak and the failed relationships or missed opportunities that come with the struggles of navigating our lives. Stephen tells us that the song is about the feeling of losing a part of yourself, the moment of hitting the bottom, but taking the power back into your own hands. In the end, it’s okay to admit you are going through tough times, but you also have the strength to get through.

Meet Your New AI-Powered Vocalist “Holly+”

Holly Herndon is a 41-year old Sound Artist based in Berlin, Germany. She is partnering with music company Never Before Heard Sounds to produce a “digital twin” of her own voice, titled Holly+, that creators across the world can manipulate to create their own custom vocal parts and instruments. Similarly to our previously reported Jay-Z deepfake story, Holly has entered a multitude of different sounds in the Holly+ digital library for others to use to create their own custom works.

Holly+ uses “Machine learning technology to reproduce audio in a computer generated approximation of Holly Herndon’s natural singing voice.” Users can upload up to 5 minutes of polyphonic audio into Holly+ and that audio will then be recreated with Holly’s distinctive digital voice. Holly+ is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) in which all users will get to own the IP for their creation, but all funds earned will be directed back into the organization to further the development of the service and will be shared amongst all artists on the site. 

Holly claims that “Vocal deepfakes are here to stay.” To learn more and make your own creation using Holly’s voice, check out holly.plus.
