The standard
for Musicians.

Music expresses what words alone cannot.

Melody, rhythm, and the choices between them carry a human point of view. The VerifiedHuman mark helps listeners recognize music that is essentially human-composed.

Standard for Musicians

A commitment to the people
who value your work.

I represent my musical work to be my (or my team's) intellectual property, essentially composed by (a) human(s), and not by generative AI.

The linked terms lead to the definitions behind the standard.

What this means for your work.

The commitment concerns the composition: how musical elements are selected, shaped, and brought together. Credits and disclosure help listeners understand both the human creative work and the role of any AI assistance.

Composition and performance are distinct. The definitions explain how AI-generated material, production tools, and human performance fit the standard, with the Five-Note/Five-Beat Principle as a practical check rather than a mechanical test.
