ElevenLabs now lets users publish AI-generated music directly on SoundCloud

You can now publish AI-generated music directly to SoundCloud, bypassing manual uploads.

Audio AI company ElevenLabs announced that its users can now publish AI-generated music directly to SoundCloud. This integration allows music created with ElevenLabs' ElevenMusic platform to be shared with fans beyond ElevenLabs' own ecosystem. As part of this partnership, SoundCloud Artist Pro users will receive three months of ElevenMusic Pro, offering features like generating up to 1,000 songs per month, splitting song stems 500 times, and using five custom styles or vocals. ElevenLabs, which first launched its music generation model in 2025, has seen users create over 25 million tracks. SoundCloud has also pursued other AI integrations, including a partnership with Moises to facilitate song export and import, and collaborations with Google Flow Music and Hook.

This integration marks a significant step in the direct distribution of AI-generated music, moving beyond simple creation tools to platform-level publishing. It suggests a market trend where AI music platforms are actively seeking partnerships with established streaming services to broaden their reach and user base. The offer to SoundCloud Artist Pro users indicates a strategy to onboard creators and demonstrate the value of AI-assisted music production in a competitive landscape.

The move by ElevenLabs and SoundCloud could influence how other AI music tools and streaming platforms approach distribution and creator partnerships. While some platforms like Deezer and Bandcamp are focusing on filtering or banning AI music, this collaboration signals a more permissive and integrated approach by major players. This could accelerate the adoption of AI music tools by artists looking for new ways to create and distribute their work.
