Gospel music duo Wapendwa Muziki have revealed how artificial intelligence has become part of their creative process, offering fans a glimpse into how technology is changing the way they make music.
The couple, Meshack Mpendwa, popularly known as Mesh, and Ninah Mpendwa, explained that they use AI tools to turn musical ideas into demos before taking them to professional producers for final production.
How AI Has Changed Their Music Process
Speaking during an interview on Obinna TV, the duo demonstrated how they use Suno AI, a music-generation platform, to turn song concepts and lyrics into musical compositions.
They explained that the process was previously more demanding, especially when they had to communicate their musical ideas to producers.
According to the couple, they would record their ideas and repeatedly engage producers to help them achieve the sounds, chords and arrangements they had envisioned.
However, incorporating AI into the initial stages has made the process considerably easier.
Rather than struggling to explain every musical detail, they can now generate a demo that gives producers a clearer understanding of what they want.
Producers Still Have a Role to Play
Despite embracing artificial intelligence, Wapendwa Muziki made it clear that the technology has not replaced human creativity or professional music production.
The AI-generated compositions serve as starting points that help them communicate their vision before working with producers on the final versions.
This allows the musicians to experiment with different sounds and arrangements while retaining control over the direction of their music.
Their approach also highlights how artists can use emerging technology as a creative assistant rather than viewing it as competition.
For independent musicians, such tools could offer a more accessible way of exploring musical ideas without necessarily having to arrange multiple studio sessions at the beginning of every project.
AI Continues to Transform the Music Industry
The duo’s revelation comes at a time when artificial intelligence is increasingly finding its way into the global entertainment industry.
From generating instrumental arrangements to assisting with songwriting and audio production, AI-powered platforms are changing how musicians approach their craft.
However, the growing use of the technology has also sparked conversations about originality, copyright, ownership and the future of human creativity in music.
For Wapendwa Muziki, the technology appears to be an additional tool that makes their creative journey easier.
Their experience demonstrates how gospel musicians are also exploring new digital innovations while maintaining the human input that remains central to producing and delivering music to their audiences.
