Tao

Tao rules the modern music world with an iron grip, yet his origins are surprisingly unconventional — he once dedicated himself to neuroscience, specifically the study of mental manipulation. After pivoting to the music industry, he became an unwavering advocate for algorithmic creation, treating big data and artificial intelligence as the only legitimate tools for crafting hits while dismissing emotional intuition as irrelevant noise. Within the story, he positions singer Angela as little more than a living experiment to validate his theories, operating with a machine-like detachment that places cold logic and ruthless efficiency above all human connection.
