Be Clear & Specific
- Be clear about the mood and energy level.
- Use a specific genre, not just “good music”.
Mood & Emotion
- Use emotion words like “haunting” or “euphoric”.
- Describe the emotional arc — let the feeling lead.
Genre & Style
- Specify the primary genre, then a subgenre.
- Try genre + era, e.g. “90s grunge”.
Instrumentation
- List your key instruments.
- Use “minimal” or “lush” to set the layering.
Vocals & Lyrics
- Specify vocal style — male, female, or none.
- Tell a story or set a scene with the lyrics.
Structure & Form
- Specify structure: intro, verse, chorus, bridge.
- Build slowly or start strong?
Production & Sound
- Lo-fi or hi-fi? Clean, gritty, or warm?
- Add reverb, delay or distortion for texture.
Reference & Inspiration
- Name artists you like, e.g. “like Billie Eilish”.
- Reference songs, albums or eras.
Advanced Prompting
- Use commas to separate ideas; front-load what matters.
- Use brackets for emphasis, e.g. (Epic chorus).
Experiment & Refine
- Change one thing at a time and test variations.
- Save your best prompts — have fun with it.

★ How We Work
Six stages. One repeatable engine.
Every Black Star release runs the same path — think, write, generate, assemble, publish, monetise. Tap a stage to open it, tap a tool to read what it’s for, then expand for the exact steps.
Where it begins. Use conversational AI to find angles, test premises, and shape a concept before a single asset is made.
Fast, broad ideation. Great for riffing on lots of directions and stress-testing a hook quickly.
- Dump a rough topic and ask for 20 angles
- Pressure-test the hook against the audience
- Cluster the best ideas into a series
- Pick a working title and one-line premise
Strong for fact-anchored concepts and pulling in current context to ground an idea in what is real.
- Validate the idea against current trends
- Pull supporting facts, stats, and references
- Check what competitors already covered
- Find a fresh angle the topic is missing
Best for long-form thinking and refining a concept into a clear, well-reasoned outline.
- Turn the raw idea into a structured outline
- Define the narrative arc start to finish
- Flag weak points and logical gaps
- Lock the final concept brief
The concept becomes instruction. Write the prompts that tell every downstream tool exactly what to make.
Quickly spin up prompt variants and iterate on wording to dial in tone and detail.
- Draft the first prompt from the brief
- Generate 3–5 wording variations
- A/B the variants, keep the strongest
- Note what phrasing moved the output
Useful when a prompt needs to reference images or live data to steer the output.
- Attach reference images or links
- Describe the visual style concretely
- Pull live data the prompt should reflect
- Merge text and image direction
Excels at detailed, rule-heavy prompts and reusable templates that keep output consistent.
- Write a constraint-led master prompt
- Build a reusable template for the series
- Add guardrails to stay on-brand
- Document the prompt for reuse
Prompts become raw media. Generate the sound, motion, and imagery that make up the piece.
Suno writes full tracks from a prompt; ElevenLabs voices narration and dialogue. Music and voice, covered.
- Generate a track or full song in Suno
- Render voiceover in ElevenLabs
- Pick a consistent voice for the series
- Export clean stems for editing
Text-to-video and image-to-video clips. Generate motion, scenes, and animated sequences from a description.
- Generate scene clips from prompts
- Use image-to-video for controlled shots
- Create B-roll and transitions
- Export clips at target resolution
Generate thumbnails, stills, and visual assets on demand for covers and in-video graphics.
- Generate thumbnail options
- Create stills and overlay graphics
- Make cover art for audio releases
- Upscale and tidy chosen assets
Scattered assets become one finished cut. Edit, sync, and arrange everything into the final piece.
The assembly bench. Cut clips, layer audio, add captions and effects, then export ready-to-post versions for each platform.
- Lay clips and audio on the timeline
- Sync cuts to beat and voiceover
- Add captions, titles, and effects
- Export tailored versions per platform
The finished cut goes live. Publish to where the audience already is — and tailor the format to each.
The anchor channel for full-length content, searchable library, and the main monetisation engine.
- Upload the long-form master cut
- Write SEO title, description, tags
- Set thumbnail and end screens
- Schedule the publish slot
Vertical short-form built for reach. Best for hooks, trends, and pulling new viewers into the funnel.
- Cut a vertical short from the master
- Hook hard in the first 2 seconds
- Add trending audio and on-screen text
- Post at peak time with hashtags
Reels and posts for audience-building and brand presence, with strong cross-promotion back to YouTube.
- Repurpose the short as a Reel
- Add a cover frame and caption
- Cross-link to the YouTube upload
- Reply to comments to build community
The work pays back. Turn views, listens, and skills into multiple income streams.
Revenue from views via the YouTube Partner Programme and AdSense, scaled by paid promotion when it pays for itself.
- Hit the Partner Programme thresholds
- Enable monetisation and ad placements
