Xania Monet is an artificial intelligence music project generated by Telisha "Nikki" Jones.[1] The song "How Was I Supposed to Know?" was the first AI song to enter a Billboard radio airplay chart, entering Adult R&B Airplay at number 30.[2] It also charted on Hot R&B Songs at 20, while Jones' song "Let Go, Let God" peaked at number 3 on the Hot Gospel Songs.

Jones, from Mississippi,[3] writes the lyrics for Monet herself, and uses Suno to generate the music.[1][4] Following a bidding war, Monet was signed to Hallwood Media for $3 million.[5] Singer-songwriter Kehlani criticized the deal, saying that she felt Jones was "doing none of the work".[6]
