Artist profiles

An artist profile is a voice you write in. It can be yourself, your band, an artist you write for, or a project or alias. You give it a style, a language, genres, themes, favourite words and words to avoid. Every song you write for that profile starts from there, and the writing tools use the profile so their suggestions sound like that voice.

#Where to find it

• Profiles in the app's rail lists your profiles as cards. Open one to see its picture, its songs and a few numbers, and click Edit profile to change it.
• To make one, click New profile on the Profiles page (or Create your first profile when you have none). You can also pick + New profile… in the New song dialog.
• A song has one profile, or none: chosen at Who is it for? when you make it, and changed later in the Artist profile menu in the editor's header.

#Step by step: the profile wizard

A new profile starts with a short wizard: "Let's meet the artist. Seven quick questions. Only the name is needed."

1. Who is this profile for? Pick Myself, My band, An artist I write for or A project or alias, then give it a name.
2. Which language do the words come in? Auto (each song follows its own words), English or Finnish.
3. Which genres feel like home? Pick as many as you like, or write your own.
4. How does the voice sound? A few words for the voice.
5. What do you keep writing about? The things your songs come back to.
6. Any words or images you love? The ones that keep turning up in your lines.
7. Any words you never want to hear? Drafts and rewrites stay away from these.

Every question after the first has Skip. At the end, choose Start a song or Open profile (or Back to the new song if you came from the New song dialog).

#What a profile holds

On the profile page, Edit profile shows every field:

• Who it's for and Name.
• Style: in your own words, the voice, point of view, mood, imagery, and how the lyrics usually feel. For example: "First person, plain spoken, small-town details, dry humour that turns tender in the last verse, short lines". Describe traits rather than naming artists to imitate.
• Language: Auto, English or Finnish. Songs whose lyrics language is Auto are written in this language, and their syllables are counted in it too.
• Genres: a new song for the profile takes the first genre that is also one of the song genre choices.
• Themes, Vocabulary (favourite words and imagery) and Avoid (words, clichés or subjects this artist never uses).
• Example songs: see below.

Changes save as you type.

#The picture

On the profile page, click Add a picture (or Change picture), or drag an image onto the picture. JPEG, PNG and WebP images up to 5 MB work. The picture is cropped to a square and shown on the profile's card and page. Click Remove to take it away. Pictures are private to your account.

#Example songs

The AI can read up to 3 of the profile's own songs to pick up its tone and style. It never copies their lines. Under Example songs, choose one of these:

• Automatic: the latest songs with lyrics
• Choose the songs: tick the ones that show the voice best. Only the first three you choose are used.

The songs marked Example are the ones the AI reads: about 1,500 characters of their lyrics in all. The song you're working on is never its own example.

#How the AI uses a profile

Every writing tool sends the song's profile along with the request: Rhymes & synonyms, Selection tools, the Space menu, Reimagine and Autodraft. The profile is the background, and the song brief refines it. Where the two differ, for example on the genre, the song's own settings win. Rhymes and synonyms only get a light hint: the profile's favourite words and the words it avoids.

These tools use AI (Anthropic's Claude). Your lyrics are never used to train AI models. See the privacy policy.

When you share a song, your co-writers' writing tools use the song owner's profile, so everyone writes in the same voice. Only the owner can change which profile the song has.

#Tips

• Specific beats general. "Kitchen-table details, never says 'love' outright" does more than "emotional".
• Fill in Avoid with the words you're tired of seeing, like "forever" or "tonight".
• Deleting a profile (Delete profile) keeps its songs. They just have no profile.
