Other musicians have reacted with fury to the decision to platform someone who uses AI to create music, over many other artists who are struggling to get recognition.
Birmingham-based songwriter Mollyxo, slammed the decision in a viral TikTok video and voiced her fears about how it could impact future musicians.
She called the show an “absolute joke” and revealed that she has formally complained to the BBC.
“I cannot explain to you how disrespectful it is for a show like the BBC Introducing, which is a platform for independent artists to get heard, noticed and recognised for their talent that they’ve put years and years into, into learning new skills, honing their skills, to be good enough to be spotted by BBC Introducing.”
She said independent artists rely on platforms such as BBC Introducing to give recognition to “real musicians”, not those who use AI to create songs for them.
A BBC spokesperson told Rolling Stone UK: “Each track is considered based on its musical merit and whether it is right for our target audience, with decisions made on a case-by-case basis.”
LBC has contacted BBC for comment.
