Paul Bender is a three-time Grammy nominated bassist. When he's not performing with Australian jazz-funk band Hiatus Koiyote, he releases music through his side project, The Sweet Enoughs.

Through exploiting a distribution loop, AI-generated songs were being uploaded against artists' will, and it remains foggy who's behind the ghost songs.
