Developed by 144K Collective and 9th Ward Production and Promotions Company, LLC, iMused.ai sets a new standard for AI music with guaranteed royalties and artist-first ethics

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- iMused.ai, powered by the social impact venture 144K Collective and by 9th Ward Production and Promotions Company, today debuts the first ethical AI music platform designed to protect, credit, and pay artists every time their creative DNA inspires a new track, ushering in a game-changing model for AI-powered music creation and copyright compliance.

iMused.ai launches amid industry headlines of artists losing control and compensation as their sounds are replicated by AI without permission or payment. In direct contrast, iMused.ai puts fairness and transparency at its core, leveraging technology to ensure original creators are always valued both financially and artistically.

Redefining AI Music Creation
iMused.ai enables musicians and creators to go from concept to a fully produced, studio-quality song in just three minutes, dramatically accelerating the music development process without sacrificing authenticity or quality. At its heart lies Musical DNA Technology™, which analyzes an artist's creative fingerprint such as their vocals, harmonies, chord progressions, and lyrics across 12+ dimensions to generate truly original and high-fidelity tracks.

A Platform Built for Artists—Not Just Algorithms

• Artists whose styles inspire new AI-generated songs ("muses") automatically receive an auditable 10–20% royalty split and official co-producer credit on all works their Musical DNA powers every time a commercially exploited song is created.

• iMused.ai elevates ethical standards beyond itself: when a creator produces their song on iMused.ai and then generates or replicates that song on any other platform or studio, that platform is effectively creating a legally compliant and ethical work. Designed to operate seamlessly with any method of music creation (artificial or real) the app ensures both legal and ethical compliance across the board.

• iMused.ai requires Performing Rights Organization (PRO) registration, public attribution via ledger, and full industry compliance on all commercial releases, proactively supporting rights management and transparent recordkeeping.

• Output is tailored for both pure AI workflows and hybrid collaborations, bridging the gap between human musicianship and next-gen AI tools.

• The platform cultivates active collaboration: musicians, producers, and fans can share DNA profiles and co-create new music seamlessly.

A Social Impact-Driven Model
As a flagship product of 144K Collective and 9^th Ward, iMused.ai exemplifies a business model rooted in purpose: 90% of profits are reinvested into community and impact initiatives rather than traditional profit sharing. This commitment is reflected not just in how iMused.ai's technology is developed, but in every promotion.

"Our mission is simple: protect the art, empower the artist, and enable creators to innovate without compromise," said Jay Davis, Founder of 144K Collective. "We're reshaping the music industry so that AI-driven production is practical, profitable, and, most importantly, fair."

A New Creative Economy for the AI Age
iMused.ai is not just a tool for faster production. It's a movement to empower artists with new ways to monetize their influence, while upholding the rights and recognition they deserve. By making sure every "muse" is paid, credited, and celebrated, iMused.ai ensures a sustainable, transparent, and collaborative future for music.
