Hozier's Melodic Rebellion: The Battle Against AI in Music and Legacy of Courage

In a groovy twist, Irish music star Hozier isn't just all about tunes and beats – he's also ready to stand up against artificial intelligence (AI) threats to the music world. Just like Hollywood actors and writers are currently making noise about AI messing with their contracts and creativity, Hozier is ready to join the groove and strike a chord for his industry.

 Hozier, whose real name is Andrew John Hozier-Byrne, told the cool cats at BBC's Newsnight that he'd totally dig the idea of going on strike if AI starts messing with music. But he's got a deep question: is AI really art? This rockin' singer of "Take Me to Church" fame thinks that true art comes from human experiences, something AI can't fully get its rhythm on.

 AI isn't just making Hollywood stars jitter – it's got the music world "Hozier's Melodic Rebellion: The Battle Against AI in Music and Legacy of Courage"humming too. AI can write songs and copy famous artists, but musicians haven't started jamming about it like their Hollywood pals. A while back, there was this AI-made track with sounds cloned from Drake and The Weeknd, but it got pulled off the playlist because it broke copyright rules.

 Speaking of tunes, Hozier isn't just about the beats. He's been moved by Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor, who turned heads by protesting against the church on TV. While she faced flak back then, Hozier's hit song had a similar theme – taking a swing at church teachings that caused "shame about sexual orientation." Now, his music is groovin' in 12 countries and streaming records.

 Hozier isn't just making music, he's speaking out on some important stuff too. He chats about the past, present, and future on issues like LGBTQ+ rights and performing in places where minorities are repressed. His new album "Unreal Unearth," inspired by an old-school Italian artist and pandemic vibes, drops soon. Tune in to his interview on Newsnight for a rockin' journey into his ideas and music.

  Get ready to groove with Hozier as he strums the chords of revolt against AI and carries forward the courage of trailblazing artists like Sinéad O'Connor.
