ElevenLabs Launches Generative AI Creation Platform, Eleven Music

ElevenLabs, the software company known for AI Voice Generation, has launched its own full-service AI creation platform, Eleven Music. The company has partnered with the independent publisher, Kobalt, and independent licensor, Merlin, to ensure proper royalty distribution to music used for training purposes.

Eleven Music:

• The company claims users can create “studio-grade music from natural language prompts.”

• Music created on the platform is cleared for commercial use in film, television, podcasts, social media videos, advertisements, and gaming.

• This new platform puts ElevenLabs in the same realm as AI creation platforms such as Suno and Udio.

• Those platforms have not made deals with licensors and publishers similar to those Eleven Music has made with Kobalt and Merlin.

Terms & Conditions:

• Submitting the following prompts is prohibited under Eleven Music’s terms and conditions:

• Any artist’s (whether living or deceased) real name or stage name;

• Any songwriter’s (whether living or deceased) real name or stage name;

• Any song title;

• Any album title;

• Any music publisher company’s name;

• Any music label’s name

What they said:

• Laurent Hubert, CEO of Kobalt: “Our songwriters and clients entrust us to ensure that the AI revolution includes both strong protections for their intellectual property rights for AI training, as well as forward-looking and thoughtful opportunities to participate in AI revenue streams, subject to clear and fair guardrails. ElevenLabs has been a collaborative partner, committed to sourcing data directly from rightsholders and protecting them.”
