A music generator that follows the brief

  • 01

    Any genre you can name

    Pop, rock, hip-hop, country, jazz, EDM, lo-fi, orchestral and the sub-genres in between. Name it the way a musician would and the model follows.

  • 02

    Text to music with vocals

    Ask for a singer and the singing models write and perform lyrics, or perform the lyrics you paste. Ask for no vocals and you get an instrumental.

  • 03

    Background music without vocals

    The MiniMax instrumental model never sings, so beds for videos, podcasts and games stay clear under a voiceover.

  • 04

    Length chosen by model

    Lyria 3 for 30-second clips, ElevenLabs Music for one minute, Lyria 3 Pro for songs of up to about three minutes.

  • 05

    A flat price per track

    Each model has one price per track, shown before you generate. Tracks that fail are refunded automatically.

  • 06

    MP3 download

    Play every track in the page, download the MP3, and find it again later in your history.

How to generate music from text

  1. 01

    Write the brief

    Genre, mood, tempo, instruments and vocals in one or two sentences. Add what the music is for, such as a trailer or a study playlist.

  2. 02

    Pick the model

    Lyria 3 Pro for a full song, Lyria 3 for a short clip, ElevenLabs Music for a minute, or the instrumental model for no vocals.

  3. 03

    Generate and refine

    Listen, download, or change one thing in the description, such as the tempo or the singer, and generate again.

How an AI music generator works

Whether you call it a music AI generator or an AI music generator, a text-to-music model learns how descriptions relate to recorded sound. Given your words, it generates the audio directly: the arrangement, the performance, the mix and, on singing models, a vocal line with lyrics.

That is why the description matters so much. The model only knows what you tell it, so vague prompts get generic music and specific prompts get specific music.

AI music generator from text: a prompt formula

A reliable pattern is genre, mood, tempo, instruments, vocals and purpose, in that order. For example:

  • Genre: indie folk, drum and bass, bossa nova
  • Mood: melancholic, euphoric, tense, cozy
  • Tempo: a 70 BPM ballad, a mid-tempo groove, a fast 174 BPM
  • Instruments: nylon guitar, Moog bass, brushed drums, choir
  • Vocals: soft female vocals, a raspy male lead, or no vocals
  • Purpose: YouTube intro, wedding entrance, game menu music

Is there a free, unlimited AI music generator?

Not a real one. Every track takes serious computing power, so free plans always have limits somewhere: on quality, length, downloads or commercial use. AI Song Maker is upfront instead: new accounts get two free Lyria 3 Pro songs (40 credits), and after that each track has a fixed price you see before you generate.

The cheapest way to explore is Lyria 3 at 10 credits per 30-second clip, about $0.09–$0.12. When a clip sounds right, make the full song with Lyria 3 Pro.

A free AI music generator with vocals

Your two free Lyria 3 Pro songs include vocals: describe the singer in your prompt, then paste lyrics or let Lyria write them. Google lists English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese as Lyria 3's vocal languages.

AI music generator questions

Can I generate music from text only?

Yes. A text description is all the models need. Add lyrics if you want specific words sung; otherwise the singing models write their own, and the instrumental model makes music without words.

Is this AI music generator free?

New accounts get two free Lyria 3 Pro songs (40 credits). It is not unlimited: after the free songs, each track is paid with credits, from 10 credits for a 30-second Lyria 3 clip.

Which genres does it handle?

Any genre you can describe, from pop and hip-hop to orchestral and ambient. Niche styles work best when you also name the instruments and tempo, because that tells the model what the genre sounds like to you.

Can I use the music in my videos?

Yes, in personal and commercial videos, under our terms and the model providers' terms. We do not claim ownership of your tracks. Follow each platform's rules on AI-generated content.
