Casper Gottlieb—known as The A I-Man—didn’t set out to be a singer. For years, he wrote poetry and made beats, creating quietly in the background. Music was an outlet, not a destination. That changed when life hit him harder than he ever imagined.
“I lost custody of my kids,” Casper says. “It wasn’t fair. It was manipulation, and it broke me in ways I didn’t think were possible.”
At first, he tried to push through the grief, bury it deep and keep going. But it didn’t work. The pain stayed. It grew. He looked for music that could speak to what he was feeling—something raw, honest, and full of the emptiness and loneliness that had taken over his life.
He couldn’t find it. So, he made it himself.
The A I-Man was born in that space between loss and survival. He started writing songs that said everything he couldn’t say out loud. Songs about powerlessness. Grief. Isolation. Songs that weren’t clean or perfect but were real.
“I use A.I. to refine the sound, but the emotions are 100% mine,” Casper explains. “The name A I-Man comes from that mix of human feeling and technology.”
But The A I-Man isn’t just an artistic project. It’s deeply personal. His biggest goal is for his music to reach his children one day. To show them who he is and what he went through.
“And if it helps another father out there going through the same thing,” Casper says, “even just one person—it’ll be worth it.”
This isn’t music for the charts. It’s music for the broken. For those who feel invisible, unheard, and stuck in a world that doesn’t always play fair. The A I-Man gives those feelings a voice—raw and exposed, without apology.
It’s not polished. It’s not perfect. It’s real.
