“Reps for Suno did not immediately return Rolling Stone ’s request for comment.”
“For instance, prompting Suno with “Jason Isbell” allegedly “produced an Americana song called ‘Paper Bell,’ imitating Isbell’s characteristic clear male vocals and country twang.”
“One way is allegedly using an artist’s real name instead of their stage name.”
“Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic/Getty Images Jason Isbell and several other musicians have filed a lawsuit against Suno , accusing the AI music giant of training its models on the identities of popular artists.”
“Filed in Massachusetts federal court and obtained by Rolling Stone , the lawsuit claims that Suno “encoded” the identities of countless artists into its AI model “without consent, and now exploits those identities” for its own “considerable commercial benefit.” To back up its claims, the lawsuit is filled with alleged examples of how typing an artist’s name into Suno can generate songs, descriptions, and graphics that evoke the real artist’s identity.”

“While Suno and other AI companies have faced ( and in some cases settled ) litigation over their alleged use of copyrighted music to train their models, this lawsuit centers on alleged violations of right-of-publicity laws.”
““Suno knows the commercial value of a machine that can conjure up a beloved musician’s identity simply by invoking their name,” the lawsuit reads, adding: “Many musicians sell their rights to specific recordings.”
““Buddy Guy” led to the creation of a song called “Stone Blues in My Shoes,” which was paired with a description that read in part, “vintage electric Chicago blues.” A “Carly Simon” prompt generated a song described as “soft 70s confessional pop.” And entering “Less Than Jake” created a song called “Parking Lot Anthem” that was described as “ska-punk with fast offbeat guitar chops, jumping baseline, and punchy two-step drums.” Suno allegedly even generated album art “invoking the surreal, comic book art” of actual Less Than Jake album covers.”
“With his name alone, the Michael Jackson experience relies on two of his most iconic associated attributes: the moonwalk and the single white glove.” Along with Isbell, the lead plaintiffs in the case are David Lowery, who makes music as Camper Van Beethoven ; singer-songwriter Guy Forsyth; and prominent jazz saxophonist Ed Calle.”
“The suit also suggests that supposed guardrails meant to deter this kind of prompting are easy to skirt.”
“Last month, Suno CEO Mikey Shulman appeared to address this issue in a blog post, writing: “Unlike many AI music platforms, we’ve never allowed prompts for specific artists or copyrighted songs.”
“Instead, when a prompt references a specific artist, we remove the artist’s name and redirect the request toward descriptive musical characteristics.” But the suit claims that these filters are easy to sidestep.”
“Prompting Suno with Common’s real name — Lonnie Rashid Lynn — produced tracks that allegedly captured the Chicago rapper’s “more poetic, reflective, socially conscious hip-hop, relying on samples of jazz and soul music.” And, the suit claims, users can successfully prompt Suno with the names of some of the biggest artists in the world — including Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, and Bruno Mars — if they just add a space between every letter of the artist’s name.”
“Additionally, both the moonwalk and the glove feature in the lyrics.”
