An Atlanta drummer and Brazilian producer each claimed top honors, with the remix winner earning a commercial release and equal royalty split with Henry.
Key Highlights

Atlanta drummer Joshua Meredith wins cover category
Brazilian producer Rafael Labate wins remix category
Contest received hundreds of entries from around the world
The Moises Jam Sessions contest ended on December 16 with winners chosen from hundreds of entries worldwide. Musicians took Cory Henry’s new song “Dance” and created their own covers or remixes. They used Moises’ stem separation tools to break down the original track. The contest gave away $50,000 in prizes from partners like Fender, Ableton, and Blackstar Amps. Henry flew to Paris to judge the entries with faculty from Berklee College and other music industry professionals.

Joshua Meredith, an incoming Berklee freshman from Atlanta, won the cover category.

Moises said his performance had clarity, creativity, and polish. Rafael Labate from Brazil won the remix category. His remix honored the soul of Henry’s arrangement while making something new and unique.

The GRAMMY-winning artist picked finalists from four countries across three continents.

The contest shows how AI music tools create new ways for musicians to work together. Moises has 70 million users who accessed isolated tracks from Henry’s original recording. This let them work with individual instruments separately. The winning remix gets a commercial release with Henry as co-artist. Both artists split the master royalties 50/50. This sets an important example for future AI-assisted music partnerships. Moises plans to run another Jam Sessions contest in 2026.

The contest used Moises AI stem separation technology. Judges reviewed entries at Mix with the Masters studio in Paris. Henry personally reviewed the finalists and made the final selections.
