As AI music tools get more powerful, one of the bigger industry questions is becoming less about what the technology can generate; and more about who gets a say in how it is designed.
Moises is pushing that conversation into product development with the launch of its Artist Partnerships programme, naming Armin van Buuren and Laidback Luke as its first members.
Both artists will contribute to the development of new producer- and DJ-focused workflows across the Moises creative suite, while also taking part in wider discussions around responsible AI, artist control and the future of music technology.
The move follows the appointment of Charlie Puth as Moises’ Chief Music Officer and extends the company’s attempt to involve working artists directly in the systems being built around them.
Unlike prompt-based platforms designed to generate finished songs, Moises focuses on tools for practice, performance and production, including stem separation, songwriting support, audio enhancement and recording workflows.
The company says its AI models are trained only on licensed and authorised content.
Electronic music has always moved forward because artists were willing to experiment with new technology. What matters is whether the artist stays in control. Moises approaches AI with respect for the musician’s own sound and decision-making, and I’m excited to help build tools that make producers faster and more expressive without taking the creativity out of their hands. – Armin van Buuren
Laidback Luke frames the same issue around assistance rather than replacement:
Every generation of producers gets new tools, but the best tools do not do the work for you. They help you hear more, learn faster, and make stronger creative decisions. That is the kind of AI I want young producers to grow up with.
Moises says dance music is the starting point for the programme, with additional artists and producers expected to join across other genres.
The company has also expanded its position inside wider music-production infrastructure through partnerships with Fender, Ableton, Blackstar Amps, the Whitney Houston Estate and Cory Henry.
For FM PRO TECH, the bigger signal is not the artist endorsement itself.
AI music companies are increasingly being judged on consent, training data and whether their tools strengthen or sideline the people actually making music.
Putting established producers inside product development won’t solve every AI question, but it points toward a stronger model: artists shaping the tools before they become industry infrastructure.
