Ethical AI meets music creation as Wondera trains with rights-cleared songs, building trust with artists and the future of generative music.

NEW YORK, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wondera, the world's first conversational AI platform for music creation, has announced a landmark licensing partnership with SourceAudio, the leading sync and rights-cleared music licensing platform. This agreement grants Wondera access to one of the world's largest ethically licensed music datasets — marking a major step forward for responsible AI development in the music industry.

The partnership enables Wondera to train its AI models on a curated subset of SourceAudio's catalog of over 14 million tracks, all fully cleared for dataset licensing. This includes metadata, MIDI, and other production assets, allowing Wondera to bypass the legal and ethical issues that have plagued many generative music platforms.

"The future of generative music depends on trust," said Bill Dafflon, CEO and Co-Founder of Wondera. "We're not just building tech — we're building a platform that earns the confidence of artists, rightsholders, and the broader creative community. This agreement ensures we're training on data the right way — with transparency, licensing, and fair compensation baked in."

Wondera allows users to create and collaborate with AI across the entire music-making process — from songwriting and arrangement to production and education. With SourceAudio's library integrated into its training pipeline, Wondera is positioning itself as a foundational, artist-aligned layer for the next generation of AI music tools.

"They've proven that innovation and responsibility are not mutually exclusive," said Andrew Harding, Co-Founder and CEO of SourceAudio. "This is what ethical AI looks like in action — licensed, transparent, and artist-first."

SourceAudio's licensing model is unique: all tracks are pre-cleared on both the master and composition sides, and rightsholders must explicitly opt in to dataset licensing. Revenue is distributed transparently — either upfront or over the agreement term — ensuring rights owners are always included in the value chain.

"There's a clear path forward for AI in music — and it's licensed," said Elizabeth Moody, Head of Strategy at Wondera. "We're proud to be building on solid ground, and we hope more companies follow suit."

Wondera is currently in public beta. Visit the wondera website to make a song.
