There are moments in life when a new tool doesn’t just enter your world, it expands it.
For me, discovering Suno was one of those moments.
I never imagined that I would one day call myself a Suno artist. Not because I didn’t love music, I always have but because I had long accepted that creating music required time, resources, and collaboration that didn’t always align with my journey. I had stories in my heart, melodies in my spirit, and a longing to express my inner world in sound… but life didn’t always make space for traditional music creation.
Then Suno arrived.
A New Way of Making Music
I found Suno shortly after completing my book I AM WATER, a deeply personal collection of poems and reflections. I had always dreamed of creating a companion soundtrack something that would breathe with the same rhythm, softness, and depth as the book itself. I wanted to craft a soundscape of my becoming.
My cousin, a brilliant and established musician, was going to help bring that vision to life. But life happened, as it often does. Time slipped away, schedules clashed, and eventually the project paused.
And then one day, I stumbled upon Suno.
What began as curiosity quickly became creation. Suno made it possible for me to translate emotion into voice, memory into melody, and intention into sound. It gave me a way to honour the music I heard inside myself without waiting for the “perfect moment” or the “perfect collaboration.”
Suno didn’t replace the artistry I admired in others—it simply unlocked a different form of expression in me.
Life-Giving Expression Through AI Music
Being a Suno artist has been profoundly life-giving.
It gave me permission to play.
To experiment.
To be imperfect.
To be free.
Instead of needing expensive studio time, technical skills, or access to industry networks, I suddenly had a tool that could meet me where I was emotionally, creatively, spiritually. Suno turned my quiet ideas into living soundscapes. It turned healing into harmony, reflection into rhythm, and storytelling into song.
When I created the soundtrack for I AM WATER, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time: spaciousness. A sense of fullness. A sense that my voice, my truth could exist in multiple forms.
And that experience opened the door to my third album, I Return to the Source, a gospel project that emerged straight from my spirit. It is an album of surrender, returning, remembering, and rising. And I am so proud of how it came out.
AI Music and the Question of Impact
I know that the rise of AI music has created tension for many traditional artists.
I understand the concern, deeply.
Music is sacred work. It is skill, discipline, training, and soul crafted over many years.
For some, AI feels like an intrusion into a space that artists have poured their lives into.
But here is what I believe:
Being a Suno artist does not take anything away from artists who create traditionally.
My intention has never been to compete with their mastery or replace their talent.
Instead, I see Suno as a new instrument, a different way of expressing a story that lives uniquely in me. Just as photographers didn’t disappear when smartphones arrived, or painters didn’t stop painting when graphic design emerged, I believe there is room for both.
AI music can coexist with human artistry.
In my case, it has allowed me to share parts of my journey that may have remained silent.
Traditional artists will always bring something to music that AI cannot replicate: lived experience, technical skill, emotional nuance, and embodied wisdom. AI is not a substitute for that human depth. It is a tool, nothing more, nothing less.
My hope is that my work as a Suno artist becomes an invitation, not a threat. An invitation to see creativity as expansive, evolving, and deeply personal.
Owning My Creative Identity
Today, I stand proudly as a Suno artist.
Not because it was the path I expected, but because it became the path that freed me.
It allowed me to honour the music within me.
It allowed me to create without restriction.
It allowed me to give sound to my healing, my faith, and my truth.
Suno helped me return to myself in a new way.
As I continue to write, create, and share on lammas.africa, I carry a deep gratitude for the tools that have met me at this stage of my journey. My music and my words are extensions of my becoming and Suno has become one of the bridges between my inner world and the world around me.
Here’s to many more songs, more experimenting, more surrendering, and more returning to the source.
