The official YouTube channel (linked from the Spotify biography) says: “This channel is an original music and visual project created with the help of modern AI tools, manual creative work, editing, ideas, and the author’s personal vision.” It adds: “AI helps bring sound and imagery to life, but the direction, atmosphere, words, meaning, and final feeling belong to a human.”

Spotify shows a “Likely AI Persona” badge on the artist profile. The badge text reads: “Spotify has applied this label because this artist reached the minimum audience for review and signals suggest their public identity may be AI-generated.” Spotify says the badge concerns the artist’s public identity, not how the music was made.

Deezer’s album page for “King of My Life” (15-track release, Sep 30, 2026) shows the “AI-generated content” notice: “This album includes tracks detected as generated with the use of AI.” “I Won`t Break” (single, Oct 3, 2026) carries the same notice.
