Timbaland and Suno AI Present TaTa, the First Popstar Created by Artificial Intelligence

Timbaland has decided to fully embrace artificial intelligence. The famous American producer and rapper has announced the birth of TaTa, the first artist created entirely by an AI platform. TaTa is a girl with oriental features, pink hair and a future yet to be generated. She is not just a simple generated and virtual voice: for Timbaland, she is a real artist, with her own personality and her own story: an A-pop. The voice was born during a session on Suno, a platform that generates music through text prompts. There, Timbaland heard something that struck him, after a few sessions, among thousands of generated voices.

Timbaland is not new to the use of AI in music: he has been experimenting with Suno for years, and since 2024 he has also been a strategic partner of the platform. Together they launched Love Again, a song published in exclusive pre-release on Suno's website. But the real leap comes with the foundation of Stage Zero, Timbaland's new company that aims to create artificial artists. The voice, the image, the character and the entire musical production: everything is designed and generated. TaTa is the first creature of this vision. She has not yet released an official single, but her debut is expected soon. Timbaland talks about her as an artist capable of learning, evolving and living off music. Not just any avatar, but a figure capable of establishing a real bond between her and her future fans.

AI is changing the rules of the game. Record labels can now create custom artists, modeled on trends and audience tastes. It's a huge opportunity: more access to musical creation, reduced costs, greater experimentation. But there are risks. Originality is harder to define, copying styles is very easy and quantity risks prevailing over quality. AI is already gaining ground in the visual part of concerts, but we are very close to holograms and digital voices. In the meantime, Timbaland has made his choice: to guide and ride innovation instead of fearing it. With TaTa and Suno, he tries to demonstrate that artificial intelligence can be a creative tool, not a threat, a way to expand human creativity.
