Empowering Artists to Create, Monetize, and Thrive in the AI Music Era
MINKH is a Sacramento-based platform that empowers music creators — from students to professionals — to succeed in a rapidly evolving music industry shaped by artificial intelligence.
Founded in 2006 by renowned percussionist Flip Kirby (Bobby Brown, Stephanie Mills, After 7) and Dr. Jasmien Kirby, a nationally recognized Music AI Coach and Workforce Advocate, MINKH combines deep music knowledge with future-forward technology training.
We’re here to help artists write, produce, remix, and monetize music using tools like Suno and other cutting-edge AI platforms.

We exist to ensure that underserved and independent music creators aren’t left behind as AI transforms how music is made, shared, and sold.
At MINKH, we:
- Provide hands-on AI music training using Suno and emerging platforms
- Teach artists how to protect their rights through licensing literacy
- Connect creative passion to real-world workforce and monetization pathways
- Offer community-first workshops, tools, and coaching to close access gaps

Helping Artists Thrive in the Age of AI
Dr. Jasmien Kirby is Sacramento’s first and only Music AI Coach and Workforce Advocate. With a doctorate in Work & Organizational Psychology and a career in artist development, she’s helped shape the sound of talents like Yelly and Elle Nikole.
Today, she guides artists, educators, and organizations in understanding how to leverage AI tools like Suno to create, monetize, and distribute music — ethically and effectively.
Her motto?
“AI isn’t replacing musicians — it’s rebuilding the music game. Let’s make sure you’re in the room.”
