Masked artists Kilo Kent and Zemi say they write, perform and produce their own material, then use Suno to change the audible identity of their vocals.
Zemi told Dazed that he records the singing, processes it through Suno to change the voice and then mixes the result himself. Kilo Kent described the generator as one tool within a human-led process rather than a replacement for songwriting and production.
Their releases have attracted meaningful audiences. “40’s” by Kilo Kent had more than 2.7 million Spotify plays when checked on October 8, while Zemi’s profile had nearly 295,000 monthly listeners. Both artists are signed to Isekai Records and keep their real identities largely hidden.
The interviews do not independently verify every career or production claim the artists made. They do provide a notable example of AI music moving beyond prompt-to-song generation and into vocal identity design.
Why it matters: Voice masking creates new options for privacy and fictional artist personas, but it also raises disclosure and impersonation questions. A creator who changes a voice should ensure that the result does not imitate a recognizable singer without permission.
