About

ElevenMusic is a new app from ElevenLabs that lets people discover music from emerging artists, remix existing tracks with text prompts, and generate full songs from a lyric or melody, all powered by the company's in-house music model. The platform is designed around three core actions: discover, remix, and create, and opens with a curated catalog of over 4,000 independent and emerging artists, built to surface music beyond mainstream streaming recommendations. Users can also adjust the length of the song, whether it has lyrics, and the writing style, and they can discover songs created by others and remix them using text prompts, with those remixes counting toward their daily limit. This launch matters because it pushes ElevenLabs, best known for voice AI, directly into a generative music category currently led by Suno and Udio, and it does so on mobile rather than the browser. By launching a standalone iOS app with remixing and discovery features, the company addresses creator needs in a market led by Suno and Udio . The move also builds on the underlying Eleven Music model released earlier, which the company positioned as commercially safer than rivals after announcing deals with Merlin Network and Kobalt Music Group, two digital publishing platforms for independent musicians, to use their materials for AI training . ElevenLabs was co-founded in 2022 by Piotr Dąbkowski, an ex-Google machine learning engineer and Mati Staniszewski, an ex-Palantir deployment strategist, both raised in Poland , and the company has expanded from speech synthesis into a broader audio stack covering agents, creative tools, and an API. ElevenMusic extends that stack into a consumer surface where listeners, remixers, and prompt-based creators share the same feed, aimed at founders and operators watching how foundational audio models move from infrastructure into end-user products.

Cool model, but how does the rights clearance pipeline actually work when someone remixes a track and it goes viral on TikTok? That's the part that breaks every music startup.

Harpreet Bajwa4/29/2026

Before procurement greenlights this for our content team: SSO, SOC2 Type II, and DPA in the EU? Asking because the legal review for music tools is brutal.

Tomás Cutrera4/29/2026

ok wait, the demo where it stitches vocals over a generated bed is actually nuts. shipping this on a Tuesday should be illegal.

Annika Lindqvist4/29/2026

Tagline suggestion, free of charge: 'Music you can shape, share, and get paid for.' Yours reads like a feature list pretending to be a sentence.

Tweet copy is doing the thing where you list four verbs and hope one lands. Pick one, lead with it, save the rest for the thread.

The launch video pacing is doing a lot of work here. Whoever cut those vocal demos at the 12 second mark earned their paycheck.

Mira Solovyova4/29/2026

Curious what retention looks like 30 days in once the novelty wears off. Generative music has a graveyard problem.

Daniel Okafor4/29/2026

hot take: the 'earn from music' part is the real launch and everyone is going to skip past it to play with the toy.

Felipe Aguirre4/29/2026

the 'earn' part is begging for an on-chain royalty split layer and you know it. someone is going to fork this with a token by Friday.

Shiro Hayashi4/29/2026

We built something adjacent at my old job in 2019 and killed it because licensing was a nightmare. Genuinely curious how the team threaded that needle.

Reem Nasr4/29/2026

Any chance someone from the team can hop on a quick call this week? Working on a piece about the model and would love some color on training data sources.

Marcus Anthal4/29/2026

Reminds me of what Suno is doing but with the voice infra moat already in place. Bullish on the bundle.

Yuki Tanabe4/29/2026

First 8 seconds of that launch video is pure hook, then it sags around the remix UI walkthrough. Tighten that middle and this thing rips on the algorithm.

Zedrick Hollow4/29/2026

Generative music TAM is way smaller than people think once you strip out hobbyists who churn after a weekend. Prove me wrong.

Nikola Drašković4/29/2026

The thumbnail choice is brave. Black background with no human face on a music launch, gutsy or a miss depending on how the impressions land.
