AI singer named Xania Monet is “the first known AI artist to earn enough radio airplay to debut on a Billboard radio chart.” Xania Monet who was signed to a multimillion-dollar record deal has appeared on multiple Billboard charts since first releasing a song in summer 2025, including the Hot Gospel Songs (for her song “Let Go, Let God”) and the Hot R&B Songs chart (for her song “How Was I Supposed to Know”), according to the publication.
Many in the music business is call CAP on the whole idea of an A.I. Singer. Grammy award winning super producer Jermaine Dupri is trying to figure out the difference between Milli Vanilli (especially since they got their Grammy revoked for lip-synching) and A.I. artists such as Xania Monet.
“So let me get this right, years ago the industry found out that Milli Vanilli weren’t really the voices on their Grammy-winning record and they were stripped of their Grammy, but now we’re getting ready to accept people who can’t even sing, creating songs for a fake person?” .. “How is this any different than milli Vanilli?” -Jermaine Dupri via X formerly known as Twitter
Telisha “Nikki” Jones the creator of the AI artist Xania Monet, recently appeared in an interview with the Queen of interviews Gayle King about the controversial rise of AI-generated music. During the interview, Gayle King questioned Jones’s artistic authenticity, given that Jones does not sing herself and the AI provides the voice for Xania Monet. Jones defended her work by emphasizing that she writes all the lyrics and curates the final product, viewing Xania as an extension of her own artistry rather than a shortcut. Gayle King also asked Telisha Jones about the elephant in the room, would it be okay if a person of non color were to create an A.I. artist of color, when cricket’s appeared, before she gave an unsure answer.
