The Interview
In conversation with Belgrozz
How did you start making music with AI?
As a family game, I used to create songs for each family member, describing their strengths and weaknesses.
What does AI do in your creative process — and what stays human?
Artificial intelligence plays a central role in my creative process: it is the tool through which I transform my ideas into music. It generates vocals, instruments, arrangements and sounds, giving concrete form to my ideas. The purely human part remains in the creative vision, the ideas, emotions, lyrics and stories I want to tell. I decide what to communicate, what atmosphere to create, which musical direction to follow and when a result truly reflects what I had imagined. Finding the right prompt is also part of my creative process. I try to translate my intentions into precise instructions, constantly experimenting and refining my commands. I don't consider artificial intelligence a replacement for human creativity, but rather a means of expression with enormous possibilities. Ultimately, technology can generate the sound, but the idea, the meaning and the reason why a song is born come from me.
Tell us about "Impulsi di fantasia ". How was it made?
"Impulsi di Fantasia" is born from a simple yet surprising musical idea: putting the drums center stage and allowing them to completely transform their identity. The track opens with a distinctly heavy metal drum performance: powerful, aggressive and explosive. The drums are the absolute protagonists, immediately capturing the listener's attention. Then comes the surprise: the same drum kit changes rhythm, leaving behind its metal fury and transforming into an irresistible reggae groove. The transition between these two musical worlds is the heart of the project. Deep bass and offbeat guitars accompany the new rhythm, while the drums remain in control, driving the entire musical evolution. An experiment that plays with the listener's expectations, showing how a single instrument can completely change the identity of a song. FROM HEAVY METAL POWER TO REGGAE GROOVE: ALL THROUGH THE RHYTHM OF A DRUM KIT!

Which tools do you use, and how?
For me, AI music should be created entirely with AI, without relying on external instruments or traditional music production tools. I mainly use MakeBestMusic to generate my songs, while ChatGPT helps me research production and post-production techniques and translate them into precise prompt instructions. I am constantly searching for the right words, commands and technical descriptions to achieve the sound I imagine. I want to understand how different instruments should sound, how they should be played, how they interact, and how mixing, effects, dynamics and stereo positioning can shape the final result. Rather than manually editing or adding instruments outside the AI environment, I try to guide the AI through increasingly precise prompts. My challenge is to communicate a musical vision using the right technical language. For me, the prompt is not just a description of a song. It is the main creative and production tool. The more accurately I can express my intentions, the closer AI can get to the sound I have in mind.
What does it mean to be an Italian artist in the AI music scene?
Being an Italian artist in the AI music scene means bringing your own culture, sensitivity and identity into a world of music without borders. For me, AI music represents a new opportunity for expression, free from technical barriers and the traditional limitations of music production. It doesn't matter where you come from, which instruments you can play or what musical genre you were trained in. What matters is having something to tell and being able to transform an idea into a sonic vision. Being Italian also means carrying a language rich in musicality and a culture full of stories, emotions and contrasts. But I don't want to be confined to a national identity or a specific style. With Belgrozz, this is exactly what I aim for: to be a minstrel without genres or borders, capable of crossing languages, cultures and musical styles. I believe that in the age of artificial intelligence, an artist doesn't necessarily have to be someone who plays an instrument, but someone who has a vision, a point of view and something to communicate. Technology is global, but ideas remain deeply human.
What's next for you?
My plan for the future is to continue exploring the possibilities of AI-generated music, experimenting with new genres, languages, sounds and production techniques. I would like to keep improving the way I communicate with AI through prompts, aiming to achieve increasingly original musical results that are closer to my creative vision. With Belgrozz, I don't want to build an identity tied to a single musical genre or chase trends. I want to maintain the freedom to move from rock to electronic music, from folk to metal, from experimental sounds to more intimate melodies. I would love to reach an international audience, introduce people to the project and demonstrate that AI music can also be a space for research, experimentation and artistic freedom. Above all, I don't want to set limits for myself. I want Belgrozz to keep evolving, because the beauty of this project lies precisely in never knowing what musical direction will come next.
Why should people listen to AI music?
I believe people should listen to AI music without prejudice, judging it for what it communicates rather than the technology used to create it. Music is, above all, about emotion, communication and storytelling. What matters isn't whether a sound comes from a traditional instrument or artificial intelligence, but what it makes the listener feel. AI music opens up enormous creative possibilities, allowing us to explore new sounds, combine different genres and bring to life ideas that might otherwise remain in our imagination. Of course, not all AI music is automatically good, just as not all traditional music is. But it deserves an open-minded approach. I'm not asking people to love AI music because it's new or technological. I'm simply asking them to give it a chance. Ultimately, what matters isn't how a song is made, but whether it touches someone emotionally.
What do you think about music distributors classifying songs generated with artificial intelligence as 100% AI-created?
I believe this classification does not sufficiently recognize the human creative contribution. In my case, I personally write the lyrics, develop the ideas and create the prompts that guide the music production. AI generates the vocals, instruments, arrangements and final audio. I have no problem acknowledging that the music is generated by AI. What I disagree with is considering the entire creative process exclusively artificial, ignoring the human work behind it. I believe we should distinguish between the technology used to produce a song and the person who conceives the idea and guides its creation. I don't want to hide AI, but I don't want the human being behind it to become invisible either. A more transparent classification should recognize both components: technological production and human creativity.
