Moises is nominated for a 2026 Webby Award, voting closes April 16
Key highlights
- Moises is nominated in the Creator, Creative, and Media Tools category at the 30th Annual Webby Awards People’s Voice
- Voting is public — anyone can cast a vote before April 16, 2026
- Moises uses AI to analyze and separate existing audio, placing it outside the generative AI legal disputes affecting Suno and Udio
An AI music tool earns a mainstream nomination
Moises — the AI-powered stem separation, chord detection, and practice tool used by 69 million artists — is nominated for the 30th Annual Webby Awards People’s Voice in the Creator, Creative, and Media Tools category. Voting is open now and closes April 16, 2026.
The nomination comes at an unusual moment. AI music tools are under sustained legal and regulatory pressure in 2026. Moises isn’t in that bucket. It uses AI to analyze and separate existing recordings — the same legal territory as any AI stem splitter — not to generate new material from training data.
That distinction is why Charlie Puth joined Moises as Chief Music Officer, and why it won iPad App of the Year from Apple in 2024 and became an Apple Design Awards Finalist in 2025.
What a Webby win would signal for AI music
The Webby Awards are presented by IADAS, a 3,000-member organization widely considered the internet’s highest honor. The People’s Voice is the public-voted component, separate from the jury award. Winning requires community turnout.
Moises previously partnered with NPR Tiny Desk in 2025. A win here would accelerate that kind of institutional deal-making and signal that AI-assisted music tools can earn public legitimacy at a moment when AI-generated content is losing it.
The Webby nomination confirms it’s now mainstream. If you use Moises for practice, live performance prep, or stem work, your vote counts. Cast it at the People’s Voice ballot before April 16. The AI music streaming rules that govern AI-assisted vs AI-generated content are part of why this distinction matters right now.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Webby Awards People’s Voice?
The People’s Voice is the public-voted component of the annual Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. Anyone can vote — it is separate from the jury-selected Webby Award, and the winner is determined by total public votes before the April 16 deadline.
What category is Moises nominated in?
Moises is nominated in the Creator, Creative, and Media Tools category at the 30th Annual Webby Awards, competing against other creator-focused software and apps.
Is Moises an AI-generated music tool like Suno?
No. Moises uses AI to analyze and separate existing audio — isolating vocals, instruments, and drums from recordings. It doesn’t generate music from scratch. This places it outside the copyright training disputes facing generative AI tools. See Moises’s own guide on how to separate audio tracks for a product overview.
