Release Your AI Music: Full Platform Guide
Release Your AI Music with Purpose
The Creator’s Path to Monetization, Protection, and Brand Control
Before You Release: What AI Music Creators Must Know
If you're using tools like Suno or Udio to make music, you’re part of one of the most exciting — and misunderstood — creative revolutions happening right now.
1. AI Music Is Legal — But Ownership Must Be Transparent
You can release and monetize AI music if your rights and workflow are clear.
- You created the song using tools that allow commercial use (e.g., Suno Pro).
- You tag and disclose AI content where required.
2. Track Everything — It Protects You
The biggest threat to AI musicians isn’t copyright strikes — it’s failing to document the creative process.
- Prompts and lyric versions
- Streaming metadata
- Creative sessions and collaborators
