AI music generator and virtual artist creator SoloAI has secured a $2 million seed funding round led by HongShan (formerly Sequoia China) with participation from Story Protocol.

SoloAI's platform combines several key features:

• AI-powered music generation allowing users to create, share, and monetize tracks
• Streaming service functionality
• Community features including talent show-style contests
• AI-powered VTuber agents that create and perform music in real-time
• Blockchain integration for trading generated music as digital assets

One of SoloAI's notable VTuber agents, DJ SONA, currently broadcasts 24/7 on both the platform and Twitch. The company plans to soon allow users to create their own avatars after connecting their crypto wallets.

The platform differentiates itself through:

• Integration with leading blockchain projects
• Combined music creation and social features
• Live-performing AI virtual artists
• Tokenized music trading capabilities

This funding comes at a time of expanding AI music generation capabilities, with competitors including Suno, Udio, Melodio, and Boomy. The investment from Story Protocol, which is backed by Endeavor and a16z Crypto, suggests a strong focus on intellectual property management and blockchain technology integration.
