Whether it is lyrics in native tongues or specific themes, like love, heartbreak, or life, Suno generates melodies, harmonies, and full compositions, democratising music production for everyone.
Beyond generating music, Suno offers features like "Lyrics by ReMi," assisting users in crafting creative lyrics, and "Personas," allowing creators to maintain a consistent style across tracks.
While users can select from various AI-generated voices, the platform does not currently support uploading personal vocals.
However, Suno's innovative approach has sparked controversy, major record labels, including Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, have filed lawsuits alleging that Suno used copyrighted material without authorisation to train its AI models.
These legal challenges highlight the ongoing debate over intellectual property rights in the age of AI-generated content.
Despite the legal hurdles, Suno has garnered significant attention and investment.
With a recent $125 million funding round, the company aims to further develop its technology and expand its user base, signalling a new era in music creation where technology and artistry converge.
This will help young Kenyan musicians and artists who pay a very high price to develop beats; now they can also generate free instrumental beats for their songs.
