Jason Derulo Backs Josh Fawaz on Australian Tour

Jason Derulo has supported Josh Fawaz performing ahead of him on his tour in Australia. Derulo stated that Fawaz caught his attention through his re-arrangements of works by Madonna and Marvin Gaye. In recent months, Fawaz has drawn attention for his use of generative artificial intelligence in his music production process.

In July, the Spotify credits for the cover of Like a Prayer by Fawaz were updated to specify the use of AI-generated vocals and drums. Fawaz demonstrated how he used a generative artificial intelligence platform named Suno in order to transform vocals that he recorded himself. Meanwhile, Derulo stated that he has embraced artificial intelligence in both his personal and professional life.

Derulo argued that artificial intelligence does not eliminate the importance of the person who is using it. He also argued that the music industry will increasingly have to deal with this technology instead of resisting artificial intelligence. Derulo said that artificial intelligence cannot be stopped and stated that people need to try to understand it. Derulo's Australian tour will continue on Saturday night in Sydney, after which it will go to Melbourne and Perth.
