Entrepreneur and technology innovator Sharifah Hardie introduces an affordable AI-powered music service that transforms personal memories, heartfelt messages, and special occasions into one-of-a-kind songs.
Nationwide — Black entrepreneur and technology innovator Sharifah Hardie is breaking new ground in artificial intelligence with the launch of Sharifah AI Custom Songs, an innovative platform that allows everyday people to create personalized songs for their loved ones without any musical experience. She is positioning herself as a pioneering Black female founder in the emerging AI-generated custom music industry, a space where Black women entrepreneurs have received limited visibility. Her new service makes it possible to turn personal stories, cherished memories, and heartfelt messages into unique musical gifts.
The platform allows customers to create customized songs for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and other meaningful occasions. Whether celebrating a spouse, honoring a parent, remembering a loved one, or surprising a close friend, users can provide personal details that inspire an original AI-generated song. The service also offers opportunities for entrepreneurs to create customized music for their businesses, brands, and special events. Hardie’s goal is to make personalized music an affordable and accessible alternative to traditional gifts, greeting cards, and expensive professional music production.
The launch comes just weeks after Hardie introduced the Sharifah AI Virtual Receptionist, a separate AI-powered service designed to help small business owners answer customer calls, improve customer service, and save valuable time. By expanding from business automation into personalized music creation, Hardie is demonstrating how artificial intelligence can serve both practical business needs and personal creativity. “I don’t believe artificial intelligence should be limited to large corporations or people with technical backgrounds,” said Hardie. “Technology should be something everyday people can use. I want to help people create something beautiful, personal, and memorable. You don’t have to be a singer or songwriter to have a song that tells your story.”
Hardie’s latest venture builds on nearly 30 years of experience in technology, entrepreneurship, and digital innovation. She began developing websites in the 1990s and has since established herself as a business consultant, media personality, and technology entrepreneur. As founder of Ask Sharifah Holdings, LLC, she works across artificial intelligence, marketing, publicity, business development, and organizational growth. She is also the founder and host of The Round Table Talk Show and supports entrepreneurs through her involvement with The People’s Chamber of Commerce.
For Hardie, the custom song platform represents more than a new business opportunity. It reflects her commitment to helping people use emerging technology to express emotions, preserve memories, and celebrate important relationships. “People have stories that deserve to be heard,” she explained. “Some stories make us laugh. Some make us cry. Some remind us of the people we love and the moments we never want to forget. I love the idea that someone can take those feelings and turn them into a song they can share.” She hopes her work will also encourage more Black women to explore entrepreneurship and ownership opportunities in the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry.
With both her Virtual Receptionist and Custom Songs services now available, Hardie plans to continue expanding Sharifah AI into a platform offering affordable, easy-to-use artificial intelligence solutions for individuals and businesses. “AI is my business partner, but I’m the managing partner,” she said. “I’m not waiting for someone else to show me what’s possible. I’m building, experimenting, and creating. And I’m just getting started.” To create a personalized song or explore her AI services, visit Sharifah.ai/custom-ai-songs
