Universal Music Group and ElevenLabs announced a multi-year licensing and product agreement on September 10. It starts with a fan platform for remixes, mashups, new interpretations and personalized vocals using tracks from artists who opt in, and the two will also build AI audio products for artists. Neither side disclosed financial terms or a launch date. The deal makes ElevenLabs a licensed rival to Suno and Udio, which have been fighting label lawsuits.
