Frequently asked questions

What is amapiano?

Born in South Africa's townships (Johannesburg, Pretoria) in the early 2010s, amapiano blends deep house, jazz and kwaito. Its signature: the log drum — a round, deep percussive bass — piano layers and hypnotic shakers, between 108 and 118 BPM.

How does the generation work?

AmapianoMI runs on the most advanced music generation models, specialised 100% in amapiano and its styles. You describe, the AI composes two full versions with cover art.

Can I use my tracks commercially?

Usage rights depend on your plan with the generation provider. Tracks can be downloaded as MP3 and WAV; check your plan's licence terms for commercial use.

Can I remix my own voice or an existing song?

Yes: the Remix tab accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG or FLAC files (8 minutes max). Only upload content you own the rights to.

Which languages can the vocals sing in?

English, and the South African languages at the heart of the genre: isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho… plus French. Just mention the language you want in your description or lyrics.
