Sound familiar?

Your song is ready. The cover isn't.

  • A designer quotes you $300 to $500 for one cover, and you're dropping a single every month.
  • Release day is Friday and you're still scrolling Canva templates that look like everyone else's.
  • You tried AI. It came out glossy, generic, and nothing like you.
  • You've watched fans call out big artists for "lazy AI" covers, and you don't want to be next.
  • Your last five covers look like five different artists made them.

None of that is a talent problem. Most people type a prompt and hope. The difference is a setup nobody shows you. This book does.

Designer, Canva templates and generic AI each fall short. This method: $17 once, 18 minutes a cover, your look every release.
The proof

Every one of these is a real release.

Azu sitting in a garden in Dar es Salaam
Azu, Dar es Salaam
Who's teaching this

Hi, I'm Azu.

I'm an independent musician from Dar es Salaam. I knew my music needed art, but I couldn't draw. The first time I paid an artist, it cost me $60 and I didn't like what came back.

So I put over $1,000 into an iPad and gear to learn it myself. A few months later it was all stolen. Over $1,000, gone.

I spent the next four years quietly teaching Midjourney to make art that looks like mine. Every cover on my 2026 singles came out of that. This book is the short version, so you don't need four years.

You don't need a break. You need the way.

Quick answers

Common questions

Do I need to know how to draw?

No. I couldn't draw either. You pick the frames, the AI does the drawing, and the book shows you how to make it look like you.

What do I need to start?

Midjourney (the Basic plan is enough) and either Claude or ChatGPT. The style skills work in both.

Won't it look like AI?

Lazy AI looks like AI. The method is built to make it look like you, and the book covers the 3 tells fans spot in one second, with the fix for each.

Can I use the covers on Spotify and Apple Music?

Yes. On a paid Midjourney plan, what you make is yours to use, including commercially. The rights page explains it in plain words, along with store specs.

Is it only for anime?

No. You get two styles: Shōnen Anime for cel-shaded anime, and 2D Painterly for the hand-painted look on my singles. Both work for covers, promo images and lyric-frames.

How do I get it, and can I get a refund?

Right after checkout you get instant access to every file in your Whop account. Because it's a digital download you receive instantly, all sales are final. Got a question first? Email contact@chiefazu.com.

Ready?

Your next release deserves a cover that looks like you.
