Upon accepting the award, Skrillex (real name Sonny Moore) had a message for upcoming artists: “Anybody young out there who wants to make music, or artists, the best advice I ever got was, Success is something that you attract, not something that you try to chase or catch. ⁣
“The other thing I wanna say is, for all the young people and everyone out here — I know the world is crazy right now — I really hope that we can actually start listening to each other and that everyone on the other side of the aisle, or anyone on a different perspective, we realise that they’re not enemies and I really hope we can start listening to each other and having conversations. ⁣
⁣
Moore ended his speech with appreciation to his fellow artists, saying: “Big love to Fred Again.., big love to Flowdan. Flowdan is one of the biggest inspirations in underground music in my life…and to have a Grammy with those guys, my best friends, making music that we just love, not trying to make a hit, not trying to do anything but push culture forward…This is for those guys.”⁣
Fred Again.. went on to win his second Grammy shortly after, winning Best Dance/Electronic Album for his album Actual Life 3.
Rumble was released on 4 January 2023, and was the first single from Skrillex’s 2023 album, Quest For Fire, which was also nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album.

Activist Artists Management and Sound Future Hold Provocative Discussion on Music in the Era of AIFrom left to right: Bob Lefsetz, Donald S. Passman, Wesley Schultz, Milana Rabkin Lewis and Tyler Grimm.

Yesterday, in a highlight of a busy GRAMMY week, Bernie Cahill and his partners at Activist Artists Managementalong with Brandy Schultz, President of Sound Future, hosted a panel discussion on “Music in the Era of Artificial Intelligence”. The panel was moderated by music industry analyst and critic Bob Lefsetz and included an all-star panel consisting of Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers, veteran music attorney Donald S. Passman, STEM CEO Milana Rabkin Lewis, and Chief Counsel for Policy & Strategy for the U.S. House of Representatives Tyler Grimm.

The spirited and candid discussion explored the current state of AI and highlighted some actions the music industry may take to protect the rights of human creators. The group further delved into the creative and music business uses for AI, the legislation that may regulate the use of AI and whether or not the music industry should fear AI or embrace the potential it may deliver.

While there were more questions than answers, the overall sentiment is that the industry needs to learn from its past and find ways to harness new AI technologies while making sure artists are paid and reputations are protected. The standing room only audience at Activist’s West Hollywood office included over 200 forward thinking executives from both music and tech, including Don Was, Terah Lyons, Elliot Groffman, Mark Geiger and Kimbal Musk, to name a few.
