ElevenLabs says Sir Michael Caine has partnered with the company and joined its new Iconic Marketplace. Based only on the title, the announcement appears tied to licensed celebrity voices and AI voice commercialization. Key unknowns include licensing terms, permitted use cases, pricing, moderation, and how the marketplace handles rights and revenue sharing.
ElevenLabs introduced ElevenMusic, an AI-powered music discovery and creation platform built on its fully licensed music model. Users can remix discovered tracks by changing genre or tempo, or start from lyrics, melodies, and moods to create full songs. The launch emphasizes artist collaboration, fan participation, publishing, and monetization, with over 4,000 independent and emerging artists already involved.
ElevenLabs says Music v2 improves vocals, instrumentation, arrangement, and multilingual generation across genres. The model adds finer control through inpainting, section-by-section song building, reference matching, and more complex vocal or stylistic handling. It powers ElevenMusic and ElevenCreative now, with ElevenAPI access coming soon, and is positioned for musicians, developers, brands, and content teams.
