Who’s behind SongForgeAI.

I built SongForgeAI because every AI lyric tool I tried gave me output that felt like a search result, not a song. The pitch was "write lyrics faster" — but the drafts they generated needed more editing than starting from scratch.

So I reverse-engineered the craft. I read Pattison on prosody, Stolpe on destination writing, Berklee's curriculum, interviews with Isbell and Cohen and Isbell again, and I turned what they said into a 50-voice panel that competes over every line. Then I built a 12-metric scoring rubric that says — out loud — what "good" means, so the panel can't hide behind vibes.

SongForgeAI is that rubric, that panel, and everything that had to exist around them: the anti-cliché scanner, the singability linter, the emotional-arc analyzer, the public telemetry that lets anyone audit the engine's output over time. It's open about what it does because nobody else in the category is.

I'm a solo engineer in the United States. I ship builds on most days. You can reach me directly at the email below — this is not a support alias routed to a team.
