If discogs has no record, it’s likely fake:
Damn, I'm not there, but I swear my artist profile is real. lol
It's definitely AI. It released like 5 albums in 2025.
That part could be attributed to reissues, per the bio in OP's comment
Louie Zong has a comparable schedule and has been doing his thing since well before ai was anything but scifi fodder.
I'm not saying you're wrong on the ai part of this, but some people definitely do just make a lot of music very fast.
Edit: spelling and phrasing
The covers are definitely AI generated, look at the car to the left and the last digit of the title

Probably an instance of Spotify "Ghost Artists". Spotify pays unknown musicians small amounts to record generic-sounding tracks and sign over all royalties to Spotify.
...And I wouldn't be surprised if they are using AI to generate the artist backstory and album art.
Consider other streaming services than Spotify, like Deezer or Tidal or Qobuz, that pays the artist better and don't do deceiving garbage like this.

Sounds like you're looking for something sitting around soul music or smooth R&B
Flamingosis
Start listening to dj sets on soundcloud
I just wanna jump in to say that I am a musician and I have never fucking had Spotify and never will. Same for iTunes.
I do put music on YouTube but I'm not happy about it.
