ElevenLabs lets AI music creators publish directly to SoundCloud

ElevenLabs and SoundCloud have launched an integration allowing users to send AI-generated music from ElevenMusic straight to a SoundCloud profile, eliminating the separate download and upload process. The partnership, announced Nov. 5, makes SoundCloud the first external platform supported for direct publishing from ElevenMusic.

To use it, a creator connects a SoundCloud account in ElevenMusic’s profile settings, selects an original track, supplies a description, genre and tags, then chooses “Save to SoundCloud.” The track is uploaded to that user’s SoundCloud profile.

Direct uploads carry a disclosure identifying their source, and remain subject to SoundCloud’s ownership and rights requirements, including its copyright and impersonation policies. SoundCloud also encourages users covered by European Union rules to designate applicable songs as “AI-generated or manipulated.”

SoundCloud Artist Pro subscribers, whether new or existing, can claim three months of ElevenMusic Pro through SoundCloud’s Member Benefits programme. The offer is limited to people aged 18 or older; when it ends, the subscription costs $9.99 a month unless cancelled. Pro permits up to 1,000 song generations, 500 stem separations and five custom styles or vocals each month.

The partnership gives ElevenMusic a distribution route beyond its own service at a time when platforms have taken differing approaches to AI music. Deezer has introduced detection and labelling tools, including an option to filter AI music, while Bandcamp has prohibited AI-generated tracks. Spotify and YouTube have taken a more cautious approach to labelling, according to TechCrunch.

SoundCloud has recently added other music-tool integrations, including an October arrangement with Moises. That service lets users bring existing SoundCloud tracks into Moises for stem separation and remixing before republishing them, while the ElevenMusic link is focused on taking newly created tracks directly to listeners. SoundCloud also has integrations with Google Flow Music and the remix platform Hook.

ElevenLabs first released a music-generation model in 2025, then introduced a consumer song-generation app in April and a more capable model in May. The company says users have created more than 25 million tracks with its music models. The move follows ElevenLabs’ multi-year licensing and product-development agreement with Universal Music Group, as we reported in September.

ElevenLabs and SoundCloud described the integration as the start of a broader collaboration around music creation and discovery. The Artist Pro promotion runs through Oct. 31, 2027, subject to its terms.
