How I Earned Over $2,000 Creating AI Songs in 5 Minutes — With Zero Musical Experience

Yes… you read that correctly.

I made more than US$2,000 online from songs I created in about five minutes each. No studio. No microphone. No musical talent. Not even a background in music production.

And today, I’m breaking down exactly how I did it — step-by-step — so you can decide whether you want to try it too.

But first, let me get this out of the way…

Proof First — Because the Internet Needs Receipts

Normally, I don’t spend time showing payment screenshots. My goal online isn't to “convince people” — it’s to share proven ideas so others can see possibilities for themselves.

But with AI music? Even I wouldn’t have believed it without proof.

So here it is:

✔ Over $2,000 USD earned on DistroKid 

✔ Payments deposited directly into my Jamaican CIBC USD account 

✔ Deposits include:

• $352.52 USD (Nov 24, 2025)

• $455.86 USD (July 24, 2025)

• $729.77 USD (June 24, 2025)

These are AFTER taxes — because I choose to pay taxes on my earnings.

And the most shocking part?

This wasn’t from years of creating music. It was from a few weeks of experimenting… …using only about eight AI-generated songs and an affiliate link where I shared the process online.

So now, let me show you exactly how I created the songs, how I published them, and how the money actually arrives.

🎵 How I Create AI Songs in 5 Minutes

I use two simple methods to generate original music — even though I can’t sing or play an instrument.

⭐ METHOD 1: Using Suno AI to Generate Full Songs Instantly

Step 1 — Open Suno AI (free version available) You can create several songs per day with the free plan.

Step 2 — Click “Create” I keep the “Simple” mode selected.

Step 3 — Type a full prompt Example:

“Create a joyful Christmas song with male and female harmonies, uplifting, warm, and festive, with lyrics about love, family, and the magic of Christmas.”

ChatGPT helps me write stronger prompts, which boosts the quality of the music.

Step 4 — Suno generates 2 original songs If you don’t like them, tweak the prompt or regenerate.

Step 5 — Choose your genre or style Reggae, pop, hip-hop, cinematic, lo-fi — anything you want.

You can even generate instrumentals by prompting:

“Create a modern reggae riddim with tropical drums and soft bass.”

If you're an artist, you can record on top of these AI riddims.

⭐ METHOD 2: Using ChatGPT for Custom Lyrics + Suno AI for

Vocals

Step 1 — Ask ChatGPT to write a song Example prompt:

“Write a touching and uplifting reggae song to encourage survivors of Hurricane Melissa that better days are ahead.”

ChatGPT produces powerful, original lyrics in seconds.

Step 2 — Paste the lyrics into Suno AI (Custom Mode) Choose your style — for example, REGGAE. Select male or female vocals. Click CREATE.

In seconds, Suno produces two original tracks using your lyrics.

With the paid version, you can also:

• Edit lyrics

• Extend the song

• Rearrange verses

• Change melodies

But it’s optional. Beginners don’t need it.

📥 Download Your Song (Highest Quality)

When you’re happy with your track:

1. Click the 3 dots on Suno

2. Download as WAV

3. Save to your device

This is the format streaming platforms require.

🎨 Create Professional Cover Art

Using Kittl AI

Your song needs a legitimate album cover to be accepted on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms.

You don’t need graphic design skills.

Step 1 — Ask ChatGPT to create a cover art prompt Example:

“Give me a 3D image prompt for album artwork. Song title: ___. Artist name: ___.”

Step 2 — Open Kittl → New Project → Standard Template

Step 3 — Use Kittl AI Image Generator Paste the prompt → generate until you find a design that fits your style.

Step 4 — Export at 3000×3000 JPG

Done. You now have studio-quality cover art created in minutes.
