Partnership Overview
Under the arrangement, artists maintain control over their likeness and music rights. This development is poised to provide musicians with new opportunities and revenue streams.
Participating Artists
WMG is home to several well-known artists, including:
- Ed Sheeran
- Twenty One Pilots

- Charli XCX
Artists who opt into the program will have autonomy over how their music and image are utilized by Suno.
New Creative Opportunities
Suno emphasizes that this collaboration will lead to enhanced creative experiences for artists. Users will be able to construct music around the participating artists’ sounds, ensuring that they receive fair compensation.
Future Developments
In addition to the licensing agreement, Suno plans to leverage WMG’s licensed music. This will aid in the development of advanced music generation models, expected to surpass its current flagship version, v5.
Subscription Model Changes
Starting next year, Suno will shift to a paid account model for downloading songs. Each subscription tier will offer a predetermined number of downloads each month.
