(Westman Eight)
Nishihei, a member of the Fukuoka-based pop band "balconny" active nationwide, launched his solo project in 2025 under the new name "westman8." He creates and distributes music using music generation AI.
He released three consecutive mini-albums in February 2025, and "Gift," from his first mini-album, "the City Pop vol.1," was selected for heavy rotation on KBC MUSIC SPLASH for March.
His YouTube channel, "Balcony TV," launched on January 1, 2025, has gained over 40,000 subscribers in three months and is still growing.
He is a unique artist who wears many hats: band member, music composer, business executive, and radio personality.
I'm also a musician myself, so I'm wondering if there are pros and cons to using AI. I'm talking about what inspired me to start using AI and how I'm using it on the radio.
