Suno AI

Overview

Suno AI is a music app that makes full songs from just a bit of text. You type a mood or some lyrics and a few minutes later - you’ve got a real track. It’s not just background noise either this thing makes full vocals instruments and everything. 

The app comes from a team in Boston and Cambridge called Suno Inc. These folks used to work at places like TikTok, Meta and Kensho.  Back in April 2023 they dropped an open source voice thing called Bark which helped kick this off.

Then in December 2023 they went live with Suno. In March 2024 they dropped version 3 and added mobile apps by summer. The latest version 4.5 hit in July 2025.

They also brought in music industry veteran Paul Sinclair who used to work at Atlantic Records. He’s now helping Suno connect more with artists.

But not everything’s smooth. They’re dealing with lawsuits from big music labels and the RIAA who say Suno trained their AI on copyrighted songs without permission. Suno says their tracks are fresh and fall under fair use. 

Suno works fast and feels simple. People have called it the iPhone photo moment for music.
