Randy Travis Uses AI For Singing In Video

Who would have thought of a future where AI will be reviving careers? We always thought that this technology was meant to kill them. However, turns out that it is. 

For those who don’t know, Randy Travis is a Country music legend who was at his peak in the 80s and was performing and touring consistently until 2013, when he suffered a massive stroke that severely affected his mobility and ability to speak. 

This health battle significantly impacted his career, but Travis has made public appearances since his stroke, showing signs of recovery. His fans were waiting for his comeback, and their wishes came true when, a few days back, a new song was released on his official YouTube channel. 

This song ‘Where That Came From’ was created with the help of artificial intelligence. Using RVC ( Retrieval-based Voice Conversion), a voice cloning tech, one can collect the auditory data of anyone and clone their voice. 

You must have heard AI covers, in which The Weeknd sings a Michael Jackson song, or Frank Sinatra covers a new composition. That’s done using the same RVC technology. 

No one can distinguish the vocals, and they sound genuinely expressive and authentic, as if Randy Travis were singing them himself.

Surprisingly, AI is not just reshaping industries but also reviving careers, providing a new lease on life for talents hindered by physical limitations. This is great news for the artists and fans alike and gives us a positive perspective on AI.
