ElevenLabs Music production skill

Use this skill to turn a content brief into a usable music asset with ElevenLabs Eleven Music. Treat it as a production workflow: choose the right generation route, write legally safe musical direction, preserve artifact custody, and review the result against the edit before publishing.

Source-backed facts in this skill were verified on 2026-07-10 from official ElevenLabs documentation and terms. Re-check live docs before relying on pricing, limits, model defaults, licensing terms, or endpoint schemas in a paid or public production.

Hard boundaries before prompting

Do not submit prompts, lyrics, references, uploads, or metadata that name or clearly target a protected work or identifiable artist. ElevenLabs Music Terms prohibit Music inputs that include any artist real/stage name, songwriter real/stage name, song title, album title, music publisher name, label name, or substantial/distinct song lyric excerpt intended to reference a song. They also prohibit prompting likely infringement and misleading mimicry of an identifiable recording artist.

Use genre, era, region, instrumentation, production language, tempo, mood, arrangement, mix references, and functional intent instead:

• Unsafe: "Make it sound like [artist]'s [song title]."
• Safer: "late-1970s glossy disco-pop, four-on-the-floor drums, octave bassline, bright string stabs, celebratory chorus, 118 BPM, no artist imitation."
• Unsafe: "Write a hook like this copyrighted lyric line..."
• Safer: "uplifting two-line chorus about starting fresh, original lyrics only."

For commercial release, check the active plan and Music Model-Specific Terms. As verified 2026-07-10, self-serve plans differ by generation/download limits, attribution, streaming rights, API features, concurrency, and permitted media. Self-serve media rights were documented as allowing online/offline commercial use except film, TV, radio, and Studio Games; Enterprise Music was documented as allowing all online/offline commercial use. Do not imply a client has broadcast, film, TV, Studio Games, reseller, or music-library/repository rights unless their plan/contract explicitly grants them.
