Artist Bio
Joseph Schwartz is a Chicago-based artist and songwriter pioneering a new path in music creation. He leverages AI as a collaborative tool, acting as a lyricist, producer, and musical interpreter. He pairs powerful lyrics—both his own and those of collaborators like Herman Bean—with AI-generated instrumentation and vocals to craft music that is both forward-thinking and deeply personal.
His work spans broad conceptual boundaries, from sharp social and political commentary ("Ready for Doom") to philosophical explorations ("Seven Deadly Sins") and collaborative storytelling ("Songs by Herman Bean"). Rather than being confined to a single sound, his explorations fearlessly span genres—from rock, country, and folk to pop and dance—all unified by a core focus on lyrics that provoke thought, spark conversation, and explore the human condition.
