Udio
AI music generator that creates original songs with vocals and instrumentals from text prompts, competing directly with Suno for realistic, professional-quality music generation.
About
Udio is an advanced AI music generator that transforms text descriptions into complete songs with vocals, instrumentals, and verse-chorus structure. Founded by former Google DeepMind researchers, Udio can create music across dozens of genres from hip hop to classical, with remarkably realistic vocal performances. Users start with 30-second clips that can be extended and remixed, building full compositions up to 90 seconds. The platform uses advanced AI to interpret emotional nuance in prompts and generate production-quality tracks that rival human-made music.
