What happens when one of today’s most forward-thinking producers collides with tomorrow’s technology?
In this episode of Suno Meets, Grammy-winning record producer Om'Mas Keith sits down with us at our Cambridge headquarters to dive into how new tools are reshaping the creative process. From his roots in Hollis, Queens, to working with the industry's biggest names, Om'Mas has always been focused on being "hopelessly original" and using whatever is available to make art.
In this conversation, Om'Mas shares how he uses Suno to scale his music creation and hit a new level of volume. He discusses the wonder of being able to riff on a simple piano theme, generate cinematic orchestrations, and pull out "advanced concepts" that even the greatest session musicians find challenging to interpret.
Taking inspiration from pioneers like Herbie Hancock, Om'Mas shares his take on how creators can stay ahead while staying true to their craft. As he puts it: "The niche of people who care so strongly about how stuff was made is so small... society just wants artistic expressions."
