ElevenLabs integrates with SoundCloud for AI music publishing

Artificial intelligence company ElevenLabs has announced a new partnership with streaming service SoundCloud, enabling users to publish AI-generated music directly to the platform. This collaboration bridges the gap between generative audio technology and mainstream music distribution.

• ElevenLabs and SoundCloud partner for direct AI music publishing
• SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers receive 3 free months of ElevenMusic Pro
• Users have created over 25 million tracks using ElevenLabs models

Evolution of ElevenLabs Music Tools

ElevenLabs launched its music generation model in the summer of 2025, followed by the release of a dedicated song-creation app this spring. The company later introduced an advanced model capable of switching genres mid-recording and handling complex vocal parts. According to ElevenLabs statistics, users have already generated over 25 million tracks using its technology.

Under the new partnership agreement, SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers get a three-month trial of ElevenMusic Pro. This tier allows creators to generate up to 1,000 songs per month, split audio tracks into individual stems up to 500 times, and create up to five custom styles or vocal variations monthly.

Industry Context and Platform Integrations

SoundCloud has been actively integrating AI-powered tools into its ecosystem. Last month, the platform partnered with AI music startup Moises to streamline song exporting and importing for artists. The streaming service is also integrated with remix tools like Google Flow Music and Hook, and previously introduced a zero-commission direct music sales feature for artists.

Meanwhile, ElevenLabs continues expanding its footprint across the audio industry through partnerships with platforms like Spotify, allowing authors to use audio models for audiobooks. The company also previously launched its own Reader app and experimented with voice-cloning tools for individuals with speech impairments.

Impact on Creators and the Music Market

The integration of generative audio into major platforms like SoundCloud provides independent musicians and content creators with powerful tools for prototyping, vocal generation, and distribution. It lowers the barrier to entry for music production while expanding the catalog of available audio content.

At the same time, the rise of AI-generated music brings continuous discussions around copyright, attribution, and monetization on streaming platforms. Official partnerships like the one between ElevenLabs and SoundCloud help establish regulated, legal frameworks for AI audio distribution.
