Anyway… I’m pretty sure I broke Spotify’s algorithm this year.

One week, I went all retro with Latin indie, punk classics, a little Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Next week? My toddler took over with Baby Shark, the Bluey theme, nonstop CoComelon.
Good luck profiling me, Spotify marketing team.

Speaking of streaming music…

Do you ever do this?

Open Spotify for a “quick vibe check”…
blink…
BAM—40 minutes lost, thumb sore, still no perfect track, productivity in the gutter.

That doom-scroll soundtrack roulette… yeah, guilty here too.

New productivity hack:
I stopped scrolling Spotify and started generating my own mood.

With Suno AI I don’t just find music.

I create it.

Custom to exactly how I want to feel.

And it slaps.

💡 THE AI IDEA: Create AI-powered playlists for any vibe

Here are a few I’ve been playing with:

🎧 WORK MODE
Prompt: “Driving electronic beats with deep focus energy, no lyrics, like Hans Zimmer meets productivity lo-fi.”

💪 BEAST TRAINING
Prompt: “Hard-hitting gym anthem with aggressive bass, electronic-metal fusion, energy of a final boss battle.”

🧘‍♂️ ZEN MEDITATION
Prompt: “Slow ambient textures, soft piano and synth pads, designed to calm the nervous system and deepen breath.”

🌀 CREATIVE FLOW
Prompt: “Playful futuristic jazz meets dreamy synths, the kind of track you'd hear while inventing something at 3am.”

🕯️ YOGA IN THE APOCALYPSE (yes, this exists now)
Prompt: “Dark tribal ambient with deep drums and ancient chants, mixed with serene pads for spiritual grounding.”

💡 HOW TO DO IT: We are all musicians now

Here’s how to start making your own music with Suno AI. No talent required.

▶️ SIMPLE MODE (easy, quick and straightforward):

1. Go to suno.com, create your FREE account.

2. Go to “Create” on the left menu and choose “Simple.”

3. In the “Describe your song” field, write the vibe.
   Ex:
   → “Traditional EBM song about grandma’s cooking”
   → “Sad indie ballad for a rainy breakup”

4. Choose if you want lyrics, audio, or just instrumental.

5. Add some Inspiration Tags (optional):
   → “Lo-fi”, “soft beats”, “catchy female vocals”

6. Hit Create. Boom. You’ve got a track.

▶️ CUSTOM MODE (for the control freaks):

1. Choose “Custom” at the top.

2. Type in your own lyrics (or let Suno write them).

3. Turn Instrumental on/off.

4. Add style tags like:
   → “psychedelic pop”, “booming 808s”, “cute voice”, “techno opera”.

5. Choose Create. Now you’re producing like Rick Rubin (if he used AI).

Pro tip: Save your favorite prompts in a doc. You’ll build your own sonic prompt library.

Here’s the cool part:
Each track takes seconds to generate.
And you can tweak the prompts infinitely.

So instead of searching for a vibe...
You start designing one.

That’s not just music.
That’s mood architecture.

Now it’s your turn.
Go for it, test it, play with it.
Explore, learn how it works, what it can do, and have fun!

Stay active, stay sharp.
