Trending on BillboardManager and entrepreneur Romel Murphy‘s dai + drm (pronounced ‘daydream’) has inked a multi-million dollar joint venture with Create Music Group, according to a press release about the deal. Already, the JV has signed “AI-driven songwriters” Solomon Ray, Nova Sole and Aria Blu, as well as what it calls “traditional artists” (artists who do not use AI) like Jenneske, Renee Harmoni and IME Casino. “This hybrid approach [to signing AI-driven and human talent] allows dai + drm to bridge worlds, pairing real music expertise with cutting-edge technology to serve creators across genres and formats,” says the press release about the deal. “At every major shift in music, songwriters are often left out of the conversation,” says Murphy. We look forward to seeing his record label flourish,” said Jonathan Strauss, CEO of Create Music Group, in a statement.
