Breaking news in the AI music world: Suno CEO and co-founder Mikey Shulman sits down with Billboard’s Kristin Robinson for the launch of Suno’s new V6 models, which he says were made “in partnership with the industry” for the first time. Though Suno is actively being sued by a number of music companies, like Universal, Sony, SOCAN, Koda and more, for copyright infringement, the AI music company has also announced three partnerships in the music biz — Warner Music Group, Believe and BMG — and V6 marks the first time Suno is sharing its revenue with industry partners. Shulman also shares that, later on, he believes these partnerships are laying the groundwork for future Suno products that let fans remix, sample and interact with artists’ music that choose to participate.
Kristin Robinson
Suno has officially launched its partnership with the music industry, and we’re here for a special breaking news edition of On the Record to break this news down. Today we are welcoming back Suno CEO Mikey Shulman to give us the inside scoop. But I will say, as our AI music reporter at Billboard, I have known that this was coming for a while. In late 2025, Warner Music Group and Suno settled their part of a blockbuster copyright infringement lawsuit Warner filed alongside two other major music companies, and as part of that settlement and agreement, Suno promised to launch models in partnership with Warner sometime in the near future. And it’s also worth saying here that Universal and Sony are still pursuing this lawsuit that Warner exited. Then, just a few weeks ago, BMG, another large music company, also agreed to partner with Suno on future models as well. And before we get into my burning questions with Mikey, of which I have many, here’s a little bit about what launched today. Suno calls this launch V6, which is apparently faster and has better fidelity than previous models. Within the V6 suite of offerings, there are three models: V6, which Suno has told me is the best model for most use cases, and then there’s V6 Wild for folks who are looking for an AI tool to take their music in more, like, interesting and off-the-wall directions to spark creativity, and then there’s V6 Mini, which is a smaller and slightly less powerful version of V6, and it’s the only model in the suite that’s available for free users.

Olivia Rodrigo kicked off her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival with an all-female lineup including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Rachel Chinouriri, Eli, Mitski and more. Rodrigo also included special guests like Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette and Stevie Nicks. In a press conference, Rodrigo talked about how ticket sales from the Daisy Chain Fields festival are going to support 10 organizations.
Olivia Rodrigo
You guys, this is the best day in my f—ing life. We are donating $10 million to be given directly to these 10 nonprofit partners. When I had the idea for this festival, I called each of them, and I was so overwhelmed by their enthusiasm for the idea.
Rachel Chinouriri
I got a phone call from Olivia. It was quite mad because I was just in my flat in London, and when your manager says, “Would it be OK if I give Olivia Rodrigo your number?” It’s not something you really expect. So I was just like, “Absolutely, yes.”
Eli
There’s something really special about a very young artist with a massive platform who’s actually standing for some real, real important change. F— capitalism, sorry.
Tetris Kelly
We’re taking you to the first-ever Daisy Chain Fields in Billboard All Access. We hopped in a car with Lego Group to head to Irvine, California. And once we arrived at the fest, we kicked the day off with the beautiful and talented Eli.
Fan
I was just saying, you’re beautiful, you’re amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re super talented. I’ve been a fan of you for a little bit, but yeah.
Eli
I got a phone call on the day that I found out she wanted to have a phone call. I was like, “What is happening?” I had no idea she knew my music. I’m like, “Maybe Conan Gray showed her, like maybe one of the gays,” like I don’t know. I’m like, “Who did it?” I was very moved by the mission statements that she had. I was very moved by the heart to unite women and not tear women down. The unethical and abhorrent inhumane nature of a world with billionaires possessing more than half the wealth of the entire world, while roughly 2 to 3 billion human beings on Earth live without all of their basic human needs met. It was important to me because opportunities like this are very rare. It is such a moving dream to be able to sing on the stage, and like that’s for like my heart, and that’s for like me and my personal development. But then like to know that if you’re gonna even be in front of anyone, there’s like a responsibility, I feel.
