Zairø

Zairø's own accounts say he is AI. His Instagram bio reads "AI Entertainer of the Year 2026" and "Powered by @openart_ai", and the description of the official "Waiyo" video on YouTube says it was "Made with @openart_ai". A June 2026 press release on GlobeNewswire, syndicated by other sites, names him the winner of the Entertainer category at the Fanvue x OpenArt AI Personality of the Year Awards, a contest for AI personas only. The persona says it, the tool maker credits it and the award is for AI personalities, so the evidence is consistent. Its weak point is that it all comes from Zairø's own side or from the companies that ran the awards. No independent outlet has reported on him.

No page names a human who performs, voices or runs Zairø. Black Monk Music is credited as producer and label, the Linktree handle "zairomgmt" points to some kind of management, and the Spotify page for "Waiyo" also credits Urban Roots and Lino, but none of these sources says who makes the posts. It is also unknown whether the vocals are a real singer's voice or generated, and whether any footage uses a filmed body. Because no human performer is named, he is listed as an AI persona, not a hybrid.
