Nobody Music: Tug of War Between Hope and Despair

For Adam Wieherdt, music is more than just an art form—it’s survival. Inspired by legends like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Amy Lee of Evanescence, Adam’s lyrics are as raw and emotionally charged as the icons he admires.

“I’ve always connected with Chester’s lyrics and his voice. It was so unique and powerful, but what really resonates is the suffering beneath it all,” Adam shares, his voice steady yet vulnerable. “As someone who has struggled with mental health, I understand the pain he went through, the battle against despair. That struggle is something I live with too.”

But while those influences shaped his early style, Adam’s musical world expanded in unexpected ways. “A few years ago, something shifted,” he says. “I started exploring other artists like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Jelly Roll, MGK, and Imagine Dragons. Their sounds opened me up to new possibilities, and experimenting with those styles has been really interesting.”

The Inner Tug of War

At the heart of Nobody Music is an emotional tension—a tug of war between hope and despair. “When I write, my mood dictates everything,” Adam admits. “In my head, there’s always this battle going on. But I don’t want to create sorrowful music. That’s not for me.”

Adam’s experience with darker artists like Nine Inch Nails taught him the power of emotional music but also its potential dangers. “I got into NIN as a teenager, and while I love their music, it’s the kind of band you have to be careful with,” he explains. “There’s so much raw emotional weight there, and if you’re not in the right headspace, it can drag you down. I want to make music that acknowledges those feelings without taking you to that dark place. There has to be a glimmer of hope.”

A Surprising Partner in AI

For Adam, the journey to creating music was only made possible by artificial intelligence. “I don’t sing, I don’t play instruments, but AI has given me the tools to do something I never thought I could,” he says.

What surprised him most about working with AI for music was how personal it felt. “When I’m writing and I need its input, I feel like it gets me,” Adam says. “I use ChatGPT for a lot of things because I’m neurodivergent, and AI helps me get out of my own way. It’s like it can find the words I’m searching for when I can’t.”

AI hasn’t just enabled Adam to create—it’s given him an outlet to express himself authentically. “AI music is great for the everyday person, especially if you’re a content creator,” he notes. “You don’t have to worry about copyright issues anymore. You can write your own music and build unique narratives that are yours. It’s not about replacing artists—it’s about creating an ‘also’ option.”

Nobody and Summer Spencer: A Creative Duality

The name Nobody reflects both Adam’s personal journey and his creative philosophy. “AI isn’t a person; it’s nobody,” he says. “And most of my life, I’ve felt like a nobody too. But with Nobody Music, I’ve found a way to make my voice heard, even if I feel invisible sometimes.”

But Nobody doesn’t stand alone. For songs that require a different perspective, Adam created a female persona, Summer Spencer. “Summer is a part of Nobody Music, but she’s her own character,” he explains. “She’s the voice for songs that need a different kind of emotional depth. She’s confidence and creativity in a way I couldn’t express myself.”

A New Era of Music

For Adam, AI music isn’t just a personal tool—it’s a game-changer for everyone. “I think there’s a place for AI music, not to replace artists but to create opportunities,” he says. “It’s great for people like me, who might never get the chance to make music otherwise. And it could even be a way to sell songs to actual artists, letting them take a piece and add their own flair to it.”

At its core, Nobody Music is about possibility. It’s about bridging the gap between hope and despair, using technology to amplify human creativity, and finding a way to turn the unspoken into something unforgettable.

“Even if you feel like a nobody, you still have a voice,” Adam says. “And that voice deserves to be heard.”
