SoundCloud lets ElevenMusic users publish AI-made songs directly

SoundCloud is opening a direct publishing route for music made with the ElevenMusic app, the AI music generation platform from ElevenLabs, allowing creators to send AI-generated tracks to the streaming platform without exporting and uploading them manually.

Previously, users had to download their tracks from ElevenMusic before uploading them to SoundCloud themselves. With the new integration, SoundCloud becomes the first platform outside ElevenMusic where users can publish their creations directly.

Tracks uploaded through the integration will carry a label identifying ElevenMusic as their source, making the use of AI visible to listeners. SoundCloud also prohibits AI-generated content that misleads audiences about its origins or creators, including music that impersonates other artists.

The partnership comes with a subscription offer for musicians. SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers will receive three months of ElevenMusic Pro at no cost. The plan normally costs $9.99 a month and includes the ability to generate up to 1,000 songs monthly, as well as tools for separating tracks into individual elements such as vocals and drums.

“SoundCloud has always been a place where artists experiment, push boundaries, and turn creative ideas into something bigger,” said Eliah Seton, CEO of SoundCloud.

ElevenLabs, best known for its AI voice technology, entered the music market in 2025 with its first music generation model. In April, it launched ElevenMusic as a standalone app, allowing users to create songs from lyrics, melodies, or moods, as well as remix tracks by other artists.

“We built ElevenMusic to help more artists create, experiment and reach their fans,” said Mati Staniszewski, CEO and cofounder of ElevenLabs. “Music creation and discovery belong together and now, with SoundCloud, that music can reach even more audiences and communities.”

For SoundCloud, the agreement is part of a broader effort to bring AI tools into its platform. Last month, it partnered with Moises, an app used to edit existing music, and it already has an agreement with Google’s Flow Music.
