The Studio
Martinez AI Studios is a publisher and creative label based in Dallas, Texas. Every work on this site is created by Dero Lavigne and published under the Martinez AI Studios imprint — on Steam, streaming, and across the transmedia universe.
Two roles, one universe
The creative portfolio lives at derolavigne.com. This site is the publisher's home — the label that releases and presents those works to the world.

Label philosophy
We publish works where AI is a vessel — a container for human message — not the author. Dero Lavigne directs creation; Martinez AI Studios handles publishing with transparency. No "100% generated" claims. No AAA team fiction.
My music is not made to confront anyone; it is a call to restore balance. True equality is born from listening to one another, not silencing each other. Authentic strength comes from unity, never from dominance.
Rooted in Texas
Publisher and creative label based in Dallas, Texas, USA — global reach through Steam, streaming platforms, and the open lore of the Fold.

The message is human
Artificial intelligence is not the owner of the story.
It is the microphone, the synthesizer, the copilot, and the compiler.
The message is human.
