What happened
On 11 November 2026, Musical.AI announced a partnership with Symphonic Distribution, described as the fastest-growing US-based independent digital music services company. Together they will offer Symphonic's repertoire to AI companies looking to train models legally.
Opt-in licensed training
Generative AI models will be allowed to train on Symphonic's wide range of commercial releases only when artists and labels have opted in to the program. Musical.AI says its attribution and metered-usage technology will let Symphonic artists earn more revenue from their existing music, and rightsholders can monitor, take down, and sunset usage of the works they own.
First major rightsholder partner
Musical.AI co-founder and COO Matt Adell called Symphonic the company's first major rightsholder partner, saying the deal builds "a new layer based on attribution and security for training AI." Symphonic founder and CEO Jorge Brea said the partnership unlocks "a truly sustainable approach to generative AI that honors our community."
Context
This is a second, distinct Musical.AI licensing partnership announced in November 2026: a separate item covers its 11 November partnership with Kanjian to offer a fully licensed music catalog for AI training. Symphonic Distribution is a real independent music distribution company, not a product, so it is opened as a new company on this item.
