Last week, Suno AI released the third version of their groundbreaking AI model capable of producing radio-quality music and songs. The startup’s founders gave an interview to Rolling Stone magazine.
HIGHLIGHTS
The interview opens with the beautiful blues track Soul Of The Machine, entirely generated by Suno AI.
📎 Suno AI founders compare the opportunity for everyone to make generative music to how iPhones revolutionized the world of photography. Millions of people got the chance to take high-quality photos and share them with the world.
⭐️ Mikey Shulman, a 37-year-old Suno AI founder with a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard, dreams of a billion people worldwide creating songs with the help of AI. The fact that music listeners so vastly outnumber music-makers at the moment creates an imbalance, he argues, and Suno could help fix it.
🎙 Currently, songs and tracks are created with a text-to-music interface. One of the future alternatives could be generating songs based on users’ singing.
🎶 Suno’s main potential competitor is Dream Track, developed by DeepMind (Google), which has obtained licenses to make songs using famous voices. However, it is only available to a limited user base on YouTube Shorts.
🎸 Suno has only 12 people on staff, but the startup plans to expand and will soon move to a new office in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Many of Suno’s employees are musicians; therefore, a vast area is reserved for a recording studio — not only for listening to AI-generated music but also for creating the original one without AI.

"If people are much more into music, much more focused on creating, developing much more distinct tastes, this is obviously good for artists. The vision that we have of the future of music is one where it’s artist-friendly. We’re not trying to replace artists." Mikey Shulman, co-founder of Suno.
