London, UK – ElevenLabs, a leading AI audio technology company, has officially launched Eleven Music, an advanced artificial intelligence model capable of generating studio-grade music from natural language prompts. The new offering, which became available on August 5, 2025, expands the company's portfolio beyond its established voice synthesis capabilities and addresses critical copyright concerns through strategic collaborations.

Min Choi highlighted the rapid development, stating in a recent tweet, > "It's only been just over three weeks since ElevenLabs dropped Eleven Music. Now anyone can make insane music from text, the Music API, video-to-music, and even jingle-ify your website." This rapid deployment underscores ElevenLabs' commitment to innovation in the AI audio space.

Eleven Music allows users to generate original compositions with precise control over genre, style, and structure, supporting both instrumental and vocal tracks across multiple languages. A significant aspect of its launch is the emphasis on commercial usability, achieved through partnerships with independent music licensing partner Merlin Network and publisher Kobalt Music Group. These agreements provide licensed data for the AI model's training and offer a revenue-sharing model for participating artists, differentiating Eleven Music from competitors like Suno and Udio, which have faced copyright infringement lawsuits.

The platform includes a robust Music API, enabling developers to integrate AI music generation directly into their applications and workflows. Furthermore, ElevenLabs has introduced a "Video to Music" feature, where the AI analyzes visual cues such as motion, color, and pacing from uploaded videos to compose a perfectly matched soundtrack. The company also showcased a "Jingle Maker" tool, allowing users to create custom jingles for websites or social profiles, demonstrating the versatility of the new technology.

ElevenLabs, co-founded by Piotr Dąbkowski and Mati Staniszewski, has rapidly grown since its 2022 inception, primarily known for its text-to-speech and voice cloning innovations. The move into music generation signifies a major strategic expansion, aiming to become the most comprehensive AI audio platform globally. The company states that the model is "strictly created on data that we have access to," reinforcing its commitment to ethical AI development and intellectual property rights.
