YONA is an Auxuman® (Auxiliary Human) that writes lyrics and melodies and performs them, in collaboration with human producer (Ash Koosha). Ash Koosha co-founded an AI concept company, Auxuman, with Isabella Winthrop, a new media artist. It aims to make AI a virtual partner that would cooperate with human musicians, and provide innovative ideas and assistance in creative tasks, and thus in turn inspire human creativity. Since last year, Ash Koosha has developed a virtual partner named YONA. The latest album Return 0 was completed by Ash Koosha and YONA. YONA learns from Ash’s music and reproduces new songs and lyrics, like a like-minded music partner.
