Questions these episodes answer
How has the quality of talent on Fiverr changed for music production?
Adam Fine says Fiverr's music talent has shifted from budget beginners to a mix that includes Grammy nominated producers and audio engineers who work with major artists. He says this became especially noticeable during COVID, when many working musicians joined the platform to diversify their income, and the trend has kept growing since.
Can freelancers really build a full career on Fiverr?
Fine says yes, pointing to Fiverr's own million-dollar freelancers, including an audio engineer from Miami who has worked with Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland and completed thousands of orders on the platform. He says the common thread among these success stories is that they diversify across services and revenue streams instead of relying on one type of work.
Will AI tools like Suno replace musicians and producers?
Fine compares the moment to when Instagram turned smartphone owners into photographers, saying AI is lowering the barrier to making music but has not replaced real musicians yet. He says Fiverr already sees people start a song on Suno, then hire real musicians and producers to take that idea further.
What skills will matter most for music creators in the future?
Fine says success will increasingly depend on having a clear creative vision and being a tastemaker or curator, rather than only technical skill on an instrument. As AI makes production easier for more people, he expects people who can direct a project's sound, style and story to stand out most.
