Overview
ElevenLabs Music is an AI-powered music generation platform from the $11 billion voice AI company, launched in August 2025. Unlike competitors trained on copyrighted recordings, ElevenLabs built its music model using exclusively licensed and royalty-free training data through partnerships with Merlin and Kobalt. The platform generates studio-grade 44.1kHz tracks with realistic vocals across multiple languages and genres, featuring mid-track genre transitions, section-by-section inpainting for targeted edits, and rapid vocal delivery including fast rap. Available through web, iOS app (ElevenMusic), and API, it integrates with ElevenLabs' unified audio ecosystem covering voice synthesis, music, and sound effects under one subscription.
