Producer x Kits Creative Highlight: Chris del Camino
Learn more about how Amsterdam-based producer and songwriter, Chris del Camino, creates confident demos for better pitching with our tools.
Chris del Camino is a professional music producer and songwriter who has secured sync-licensing deals with Nickelodeon, a placement on BET, and tens of millions of plays on his collaborations on Spotify. He’s also a member and songwriter of HIRIE, a reggae and pop band with 55M+ Spotify streams and 220,000 monthly listeners.
Del Camino uses Kits AI to write confident demo songs for HIRIE, transforming his voice into the female lead singer’s voice with a click of a button. Before Kits, he would pitch ideas by singing demos in his own voice and hoping his vocals resonated. “I want the song to be easily imagined as something the artist I’m pitching to would sing. I want it to have its best chance.” But as producers know, convincing an artist to hop on your song can feel unpredictable.
“Kits picked up how she pronounces R’s and shapes syllables.”
While writing a track called “Guiding Light” for HIRIE’s upcoming album Phases, Chris turned to Kits.AI's voice cloning tool, training it on session vocals of his lead singer. He wanted to show his vocalist how the song would sound in her own voice. After flipping his own vocals into hers, he was stunned. “I gave it less than half an hour of data, but it was crazy—the way her little inflections were in there. More than just timbre and tone, Kits picked up how she pronounces R’s and shapes syllables.”
He previewed the demo at a session with producer Danny Kalb (Beck, Foster the People). After Kalb mentioned he liked the track, HIRIE’s lead singer Patricia Jetton revealed, “That wasn’t me singing. Chris used an AI voice print.” Kalb was floored. “What? I didn’t realize we were there yet.”
“At the end of the day, I want the song to be taken seriously. Kits removes more of the doubt.”
For Chris, AI like Kits isn’t about replacing artists—it’s about enhancing the creative process. “People think AI lacks humanity and nuance, but they forget that when you give a song idea to another artist, it still preserves the emotion. At the end of the day, I want the song to be taken seriously. Kits removes more of the doubt.”
