On June 25, 2026, Suno, a company developing AI-powered music generation technology, announced 'Spark,' a new incubator program for independent artists. Independent artists who register with Spark can receive grants, mentorship, marketing support, and more.

To apply to Spark, you must be a singer, singer-songwriter, or producer who is not signed to a music label and has released music under your own name. In addition, Spark participants must agree to Suno's terms of service . By agreeing to the terms of service, you grant Suno permission to mix your music and create derivative works, and you are giving Suno a broad license over your work.

Technology media outlet The Verge pointed out, 'By agreeing to Suno's terms of service, you are waiving your right to a trial and your right to participate in class-action lawsuits, and giving Suno limited exclusive rights to your work. Suno is already facing the possibility of a class-action lawsuit from a group of independent artists.'

A post titled 'Spark Program Guidelines' has also become a hot topic on the social forum Reddit, with comments such as, 'If I were applying, I would not use any unreleased important songs, material that symbolizes my artistic identity, personal voice material, or anything with complicated rights issues.'

Also attracting the most attention is the confidentiality and defamation clause titled 'Good Vibes Only,' which is part of the rules imposed on Spark participants. Spark participants are required to promote Suno and are given the right to request that the company edit or remove content. This clause stipulates that participants 'will not make any statements or representations, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing, that negatively depict Suno, Suno's employees, or Suno's products or services,' and violations may result in expulsion from the program. In other words, artists who participate in Spark will not be able to say anything bad about Suno.
