Grimes has always been a little bit all over the place. In the beginning of her career, she positioned herself as an indie electronic darling. As time went on, however, fans discovered that Grimes was far from the "girl of the people" they thought she was. They found out that her parents were actually quite wealthy, at least compared to the general population. Her mother was a famed prosecutor, and her father worked in biotech. Far from the humble background that fans originally assumed she came from. Then, several years ago, Grimes was revealed to be dating Elon Musk. At the time, it was quite a surprising move. However, fans soon discovered that the decision was very much in line with who Grimes is as a person.
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and visual artist. She first gained attention in the music industry with her self-released album Geidi Primes in 2010. Grimes' music is often described as experimental, blending various genres such as pop, electronic, and art-pop. She has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Visions and Art Angels. Grimes is also known for her distinctive fashion and has been recognized for her unique artistic vision, both in her music and visual art. She has collaborated with many other artists over the years. In addition, she was married to Elon Musk, with whom she has two children.
Grimes Advocates For Killing All Copyright
Grimes took to Twitter to speak about the AI collab between Drake and The Weeknd that hit streaming services last week. The song went viral, but was taken down from streaming soon after. Many in the industry are appalled at the ramifications that something like this could have. Grimes, however, sees it as both a good thing and an opportunity to make some money. "I'll split 50% royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice," Grimes said in a tweet. "Same deal as I would with any artist i collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings."
That was already bad enough, but Grimes took it one step further. In addition to giving AI generators the go-ahead to use her voice, she advocated for open-sourcing all art and killing copyright. "I think it's cool to be fused w a machine," she said in the second tweet. "And I like the idea of open sourcing all art and killing copyright." Hilariously, the follow-up tweet is in direct opposition to her offer to split royalties. If there is no copyright and everything is open-source, that would mean that Grimes would not receive royalties. It seems, however, that this was lost on her and her followers as they excitedly chimed in with messages of support and agreement. What do you think of Grimes' statements? Let us know in the comments.
