Lemonaide, which describes itself as an “artist-driven creative” AI platform, has launched a new tool called “Collab Club,” which allows professional producers to train their own AI models using their own catalogs.
The launch comes just over a year after Lemonade and beat the buying and selling platform BeatStars has entered into a strategic alliance with the aim of “setting a precedent for ethical AI business models in the music industry.”
Lemonaide says it wants to address the challenges of the AI-generated music landscape, which it says is currently divided between ethically trained models with limited creative potential and unethical models that excel in quality but exploit artists’ works.
Founded in 2021 by a hip-hop artist Michael “MJ” JacobLemonaide says it is Collaboration club The platform “sits at the center of this artificially intelligent generative musical Venn diagram.” The company claims to combine ethical practices with a quality result by producing “high-resolution loops that are fairly well-formed, ready to be transformed into works of art by professional producers.”
“All AI models are massive datasets. We assume that people don’t just want to work with an AI model, but also with creative materials and creative people.”

“All AI models are massive datasets. We assume that people don’t just want to work with an AI model, but also with creative materials and creative people,” Jacob said in a statement.
“Lemonaide Collab Club connects creators with some of today’s top producers, building a strong creative community while empowering artists in the AI space.”

Lemonaide’s Collab Club is the latest in a growing number of AI collaboration platforms for the music industry. While these platforms are advancing the trend of integrating AI into music production, they are also raising concerns about copyright and their potential eclipse human creativity.
Earlier this year, ancient Stability AI executive Ed Newton-Rex based a non-profit organization called Fairly well trainedwhich certifies AI developers who train their technology ethically. Lemonaide claims to be a member of Fairly Trained.
Over a week ago, Fairly Trained said it would be issuing new badges to certified companies, and these companies “will be required to be transparent with users about which elements of their architecture are and are not certified.”
Last June, more than 50 musical organizations, including the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), BandLab TechnologiesSplice, BeatportWaves, Noisy, And LAND — have given their support behind the Principles of music creation with AI, a campaign led by Roland Corporation And Universal Music Group to protect musicians’ rights in the era of generative AI.
