Setting the Record Straight: Is EPIC: The Musical Made by AI?
If you have spent any time scrolling through TikTok, YouTube, or Spotify recently, you have likely run into EPIC: The Musical. Created by singer-songwriter Jorge Rivera-Herrans, this viral concept album reimagines Homer’s The Odyssey as a modern, high-energy pop-orchestral saga.
Because EPIC exploded onto the scene through internet-native platforms and boasts a sleek, highly stylized digital aesthetic, a common question pops up among curious listeners: Is EPIC: The Musical made by artificial intelligence?
The short answer is no. Absolutely not. Every lyric, note, and vocal performance in the official project is 100% human-created. However, because the musical lives online, it has found itself tangled in the broader internet conversation surrounding AI art, voice cloning, and digital media.
1. The Music and Vocals: Pure Human Talent
The heart and soul of EPIC are entirely organic. Jorge Rivera-Herrans spent years writing, composing, and producing the concept albums, mapping out distinct sagas like the Troy Saga, Cyclops Saga, and Underworld Saga.
