Artist Perspectives
“I’ve always believed that music is about connection and emotional truth. What interested me here was the idea of using my voice and new tools in service of expression, not instead of it.” — Liza Minnelli
Minnelli emphasized the importance of artist ownership: “I grew up watching my parents create wonderful dreams that were owned by other people. ElevenLabs makes it possible for anyone to be a creator and owner.”
“Music has always evolved alongside technology, from microphones to multitrack recording. What impressed me about this experience was the respect for musicianship. The human remains at the center.” — Art Garfunkel
“I experimented with Brazilian funk elements and translated our aesthetics into an English trap/R&B track. The quality genuinely impressed me.” — KondZilla
