Date published: 9th Mar 2026
Charlie Puth has joined AI music platform Moises as its Chief Music Officer.
Puth will help guide creative and product direction and collaborate on artist-focused features for the platform, which says it has 70 million users worldwide.
In a statement posted on Moises’ Instagram, Puth said: "I've been using Moises in my own creative process for years, as have many of my friends.
“It opens up new possibilities that used to take hours or expensive studio setups, whether that's isolating vocals to study technique or experimenting with arrangements in real time.
“AI, when done right, isn't here to replace musicians. It's here to help artists learn, explore, and bring their ideas to life."
Moises is now hosting a global remix and covers competition named Moises Jam Session. Users can use the stems to Puth's new single 'Beat Yourself Up' and remix or cover the song for the chance to win a $100,000 cash prize and a meet-and-greet with Puth at his New York gig. Puth will personally choose the winners.
'Beat Yourself Up' is the newest single from Puth's upcoming album Whatever's Clever!, which, after being delayed for three weeks to avoid competition with Harry Styles' new album, will be released on 27th March.
In other AI music-related news, R&B singer SZA recently criticised the technology, saying she feels like she’s “at war” because of it and hitting out at how it “disproportionately” affects Black music. She previously hit out at the tech’s environmental racism as AI’s data centres, including Musk’s xAI, that emit toxic pollution in predominantly Black and low-income areas.
When AI “artist” Xania Monet signed a multimillion record deal and made Billboard history, R&B artist Kehlani said, "Nothing and no one on Earth will ever be able to justify AI to me. I don't respect it."
Kate Bush, Sir Elton John, and Paul McCartney were among many major British artists who urged the Prime Minister to protect music as AI continues to rise - and as AI companies illegally steal artists' work. The PM told NME last year that the government was working to "get the balance right."
More than 1,000 UK musicians released a silent album in November 2025 in protest of the UK government’s proposals to allow tech firms to train AI models on creative work. It featured Kate Bush, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, Tori Amos, Annie Lennox, Pet Shop Boys, Billy Ocean, The Clash, Hans Zimmer, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Dan Smith of Bastille, and more.
In December 2024, The Guardian reported that music sector workers will lose nearly a quarter of their income to AI across the next four years, according to a global study.
