My dad builds AI tools — and the one I actually use for music

If you use Suno to make AI music, you need HookGenius in your pipeline. Write the prompt in HookGenius, paste into Suno, get pro-quality output. That's it. That's the post. Everything below is why.

My dad has built a lot of things over the years. Cafes. AI music libraries. Coffee blends. A WiFi outage notifier that ships on the Mac App Store. The Mac mini sitting under my desk that hosts an AI stock trader. Most kids brag about their dad's job — I get to actually use the stuff.

The one I use the most is called HookGenius. It's an AI prompt engine for Suno, the AI music generator. It writes the lyrics, the structure tags, and the style prompts in the exact format Suno wants. You copy, paste into Suno, and the song comes out way better than if you'd typed the prompt yourself.

Why a gamer cares about a music prompt tool

Stream intros. Outros. Background tracks for clip compilations. The music people in your gameplay videos that's so generic you don't remember it the second after the clip ends — except your version doesn't have to be generic.

Here's the workflow:

1. Tell HookGenius what vibe you want — "hyper-melodic phonk drift, distorted 808s, dark anime energy, slowed cowbell, 110 BPM" or whatever fits the clip.

2. It writes the full style prompt (under Suno's 200-character limit), optional lyrics, and the structure tags ([Verse] [Drop] [Outro] etc).

3. Copy-paste into Suno. Click generate. You get a track that's actually about your clip instead of just sounding-near-it.

Why this matters for gaming content

Copyrighted music gets your clips muted, demonetized, or pulled. Royalty-free libraries are the same five songs everyone uses. AI music lets you have a soundtrack that's yours — different for every clip — and HookGenius is the part that makes it actually sound good. Suno can do amazing things if you write the prompt right; HookGenius writes the prompt right.

I'm not the target audience my dad built it for. He built it for songwriters and music creators. But it works for me. Especially for short-form: TikTok / Reels / YouTube Shorts clips of gameplay where the music sets the pace, and you don't want to use the same trending audio everyone else does.

The honest disclosure

Yeah, this is my dad's product, and yeah, I get a kickback if you use my code. I'd still post this even if I didn't get the kickback because I actually use it. But you should know the deal.

Here's the code: 72W5DJ gives you 25 free credits on top of the 5 free credits you get just for signing up. That's 30 generations free — enough to get a real sense of whether the output is the kind of music you'd actually drop in a video.

What to try first

If you're testing it for gaming content, my honest first-prompt suggestions:

— "Phonk drift, distorted 808s, slowed cowbell, dark anime aesthetic, 110 BPM"

— "Aggressive hyperpop, glitchy hi-hats, autotuned vocals about pulling up, JPEGMAFIA-meets-100-gecs energy"

— "Cinematic instrumental, slow build, big drop at 0:40, Inception-style horns, no vocals, [no vocals]"

The brackets matter for Suno. [no vocals] and [Verse] and [Drop] all work — but they have to stay in English even if the rest of your prompt isn't. HookGenius handles that automatically.

Final pitch

30 free generations costs you a sign-up. If you make any kind of content where music matters and you don't already have it figured out, just try it. If the output's not for you, you've used zero dollars. If it is, you've got a soundtrack pipeline your competitors don't.

Disclosure: HookGenius is built by my dad, Jesse Meria. I'm a HookGenius affiliate — I earn 35% revenue share (creator tier) on any purchase made through code 72W5DJ. This doesn't change what you pay; it's HookGenius's referral program. Free tier still works without any code at all.
