Soundmap Artist Guesser

Inspirati### Inspiration

Music connects people and fuels creativity. Inspired by platforms like Spotle and Soundmap, I wanted to create a tool that helps users discover artists effortlessly and even generate their own music. Artist Guesser bridges music discovery with AI-powered creativity.

What it does

Artist Guesser suggests artists based on your preferences—genres, vibes, or lyrics—using smart recommendations. It goes further by letting users generate original music snippets with AI, making music discovery interactive and creative.

How I built it

I developed a web-based tool using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a seamless UI. Artist recommendations rely on APIs (e.g., Spotify) and a custom database, while AI-generated music is powered by models like Magenta. Optimizing AI processing for smooth, browser-friendly performance was a key challenge.

Challenges I ran into

Balancing accuracy and speed in artist recommendations was tricky, and optimizing AI models to run efficiently without performance issues took effort. UI refinement for non-tech users and debugging audio outputs were also significant hurdles.

Accomplishments that I’m proud of

Successfully integrating AI-generated music and building a functional artist recommendation system felt like major wins. Seeing users discover artists they love and create music effortlessly made all the hard work worthwhile.

What I learned

I deepened my knowledge of APIs, AI models, and handling real-time data. User experience proved to be crucial—an intuitive design is just as important as the technology behind it. Above all, persistence was key in overcoming technical challenges.

What’s next for Artist Guesser

Next steps include smarter recommendations based on Spotify playlists, improved AI-generated music quality, and more customization options (instruments, moods). I also want to build a user-driven community for sharing AI-generated creations and artist spotlights. The goal? A dynamic space for music lovers and creators.on
