You Tube Shorts Example - Sunday Blues
Sometimes when I make a Short for YouTube I simply use Artwork, other times i will make a video in Grok from an image I create with my ChatGPT assistant, this one was made with that assistant. I created a "Rose Dunn" private GPT in ChatGPT and trained it not only with rose's lyrics and images, I had created prior, as well as a specific knowledge base....my approach to training these is to have conversations with it. I have been working with this gpt for about five months now...it has written a ton of LPs with me and done countless images for me, it also write all of the copy for the posts. In the Artist Forge I teach you how to build and train one of these for yourself. Here is the link to the full length lyric video for this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW76V4wxCcM Here was the copy for this video short; 🔔 Some places still hold echoes of the love that used to be... "Church Bells and Empty Rooms" is this week's Sunday Blues story from Rose Dunn. A song about memories that never quite leave, old promises hanging in the air, and the sound of church bells ringing through an empty heart. 🎵 Church Bells and Empty Rooms 🔥 Rose Dunn 🎸 Sunday Blues Listen now and let the ghosts sing. #RoseDunn #SundayBlues #BluesMusic #SouthernBlues #DeltaBlues #OutlawSoul #AmericanaMusic #CountryBlues #DobroGuitar #BluesRock #RootsMusic #IndependentArtist #LyricVideo #MusicShorts #NewMusic #SouthernGothic #ChurchBellsAndEmptyRooms #OutlawRadio #RogueTunes

@April Cookson Glad you think so, I took this weekend off from running a show, but there are four weeks of these. Will start back up Saturday. Still have several LPs of Rose's to spotlight...

@April Cookson Crows are actually very unique birds, if you feed them, they will bring you gifts and return to you. I think they are guardians of a sort.
🔥 BandForge Live 🔥 (Coming Soon)
When I first built BandForge, the vision was simple. I wanted a place where I could mentor artists, bands, and musicians into becoming truly label-ready. Not just recording songs, but building careers, brands, catalogs, audiences, and businesses around their music. Since then, BandForge has evolved into something much larger. Today, BandForge includes artist development, production training, branding, content creation, release strategy, publishing, catalog building, community growth, and revenue generation. But now it's time for the next chapter. Introducing: BandForge Live Bandforge Live is an ambitious new project that asks a simple question: What happens when AI-generated artists, songs, and demos become real-world bands? For the past several months I've been building artists, catalogs, radio stations, visual brands, music videos, and entire worlds around original AI-assisted music. Now we're taking the next step. We're bringing them to life. BandForge Live will follow the process of transforming AI-generated music into real bands made up of real musicians, real rehearsals, real performances, and real stories. This project is currently being developed as a video and television-style documentary series that will follow the journey from digital creation to live performance. You'll see everything: 🎸 Auditions 🎤 Artist Development 🥁 Band Formation 🎬 Behind-The-Scenes Production 📻 Radio Promotion 🎵 Recording Sessions 🎟️ Live Performances & Tours 🤝 Industry Partnerships And the challenges that come with turning an idea into a movement. The First Project: Rose Dunn The first band being formed under Ghost In The Machine is Rose Dunn. Auditions have already begun for the vocalist who will embody the spirit, story, and fire of Rose Dunn. Once the lead vocalist is selected, we'll begin assembling the full band and move into rehearsals and development. This won't be a tribute. This won't be cosplay. This will be a real band built around original music, real musicians, and a shared vision.

🔥 This Is Your Community Too
One thing I want to make clear from the beginning... BandForge is not a guru community where I stand on a stage, post content, and everyone sits quietly taking notes. The strongest music communities are built by the people inside them. That means I want to hear from you. 🎵 Introduce yourself. 🎵 Tell us what kind of music you love. 🎵 Share your influences. 🎵 Post your songs. 🎵 Share your goals. 🎵 Show us what you're working on. 🎵 Ask questions. 🎵 Celebrate your wins. Whether your win is: - Writing your first song - Learning a new chord - Getting your first 100 streams - Finishing an album - Landing a sync placement - Playing your first live show ...it matters. Every success leaves a trail for someone else to follow. I've created categories like: 🎤 Introductions 🎹 Your Music 🔥 Try Outs Stage 📸 Best Press Kit 🎧 Influences 🎯 Goals And I'm adding a Community Wins section because success should be celebrated. The truth is... Most musicians try to build their careers alone. BandForge exists so you don't have to. Jump in. Start a conversation. Share your journey. You never know who is reading, who you might inspire, or who might become your next collaborator, bandmate, producer, or friend. Welcome to the Forge. ~William ⚒️

@April Cookson 😁 Amazing. I am so happy you are inspired to create, to get a guitar, to learn! Time may be "lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain"....and these things are important, but when you use time to create, to have a something come from that time, not clocking into a job, or sitting staring at the ceiling, but caught up in the act of creation, to me it is primordial, like the thing we were most built to do. As we are all uniquely conscious individuals, many try to use their time to be like everyone else, to look a certain way, to behave a certain way, but I celebrate diversity and authenticity and uniqueness in people. Time by Pink floyd is one of my favorite songs of all 'time" lol...not because of the melody or performance, but because of the lyrics and how they make you atop and think for a moment "what am I doing with my time"...
