Talisha Jones and Suno Propel AI Artist Xania Monet to Multimillion-Dollar Record Deal

Intelligence: Hallwood Media signed a multimillion-dollar deal for AI-crafted musician Xania Monet, created by Talisha Jones using Suno, following a bidding war and rapid chart momentum, despite Suno facing copyright lawsuits.

• The bidding war reportedly reached $3M before Hallwood Media, led by former Interscope executive Neil Jacobson, closed a multimillion-dollar agreement.

• Jones utilized the Suno generative platform to transform her poetry into songs and developed the Xania Monet persona, which drew label interest.

• Monet’s track "How Was I Supposed to Know" hit No. 1 on R&B Digital Song Sales, she debuted at No. 25 on Emerging Artists, and reached No. 21 on Hot Gospel Songs.

• Her catalog totals 9.8 million US streams, with more than half in the past week per Luminate, and she has about 465,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

• Manager Romel Murphy says 90 percent of the lyrics come from Jones’s life and 10 percent from friends and the community, framing the project as real R&B with an artist behind it.

• Plans include a debut live show and publishing deals, while major labels both court AI creators and sue platforms like Suno for allegedly replicating copyrighted music.
