Overview
Suno v5.5, released March 26, 2026, is described by the company as "our best and most expressive model yet." The update focuses on three major personalization features: Voices, Custom Models, and My Taste. These features shift Suno's value proposition from general-purpose music generation toward identity-driven creation, where the output reflects the specific artist making it.
The v5.5 update is available to all Suno users through the web and mobile apps, with Voices and Custom Models restricted to Pro and Premier subscribers. The release also signals Suno's direction toward industry collaboration, with the company noting that this model lays groundwork for "the next generation of music models we're launching with the music industry later this year."
What's New
Voices
Voices allows Pro and Premier subscribers to capture their own singing voice and use it as the vocal identity in any generated song. The process includes a voice verification step — the system matches a singing sample against spoken phrases to confirm identity — providing a basic layer of security against impersonation.
Captured voices are private by default: only the creator can apply their voice to generated tracks. Suno has indicated future plans to introduce optional voice sharing, though no timeline has been published as of the release date.
This is meaningfully different from the v5 vocal synthesis, which could mimic styles and tones but not a specific individual's voice. Voices introduces genuine personalization to the vocal layer, which had previously been one of the more generic aspects of AI music generation.
Custom Models
Custom Models lets Pro and Premier users upload their own original music to train a personalized version of v5.5. The model learns from the uploaded catalog to capture individual artistic style — chord preferences, rhythmic patterns, production characteristics — and applies that learning to subsequent generations.
Each subscriber can create up to three custom models, and uploads must be original music the user has rights to use. The intent is to eliminate the repeated prompt engineering required to maintain stylistic consistency across projects. Instead of specifying "lo-fi beats, soft vocals, minor key" every session, a custom model internalizes that profile from actual examples.
My Taste
My Taste is an adaptive personalization system available to all Suno users, including the free tier. It tracks generation history, liked songs, and listening patterns to build a preference profile over time. The system recognizes preferred genres, tempos, and moods, then adjusts default generation behavior and recommendations accordingly.
Unlike Voices and Custom Models — which require explicit input (a voice sample or uploaded music) — My Taste operates passively. Users do not need to configure anything; the system learns from normal usage patterns.
Compatibility Notes
Voices requires a Pro or Premier subscription and a voice verification step before first use. Voices are private by default and cannot be shared or applied by other users.
Custom Models require Pro or Premier subscriptions. Uploaded music must be original content the user has legal rights to upload. Free tier users cannot create custom models.
My Taste is available to all users including the free tier. No additional configuration is required.
The v5.5 model is available through:
- Suno web app (suno.com)
- Suno iOS and Android apps
- Pro and Premier plan subscribers get access to all three new features
- Free tier gets My Taste only

FAQ
What is the Voices feature and how is it different from v5 vocal synthesis?
In v5, Suno could generate vocals that imitated various vocal styles, but could not replicate a specific person's voice. v5.5 Voices captures your individual singing voice through a verification process and uses it as the actual vocal identity in generated songs. The output uses your voice, not a style approximation. Voices is available to Pro and Premier subscribers and kept private by default.
Can I use Custom Models if I co-write music with others?
Custom Models require uploading original music that you have legal rights to use. Music co-written with others may involve shared rights — Suno recommends ensuring you have appropriate rights to any uploaded material before creating a custom model. Users are responsible for ensuring they have legal rights to any music they upload for custom model training.
Does My Taste change how the model generates music, or just what it recommends?
My Taste affects both generation defaults and discovery recommendations. Over time, it learns your preferred genres, tempos, and moods and adjusts what the system suggests when you start a new generation. It does not require explicit configuration — the system builds its profile passively from your usage. All users including free tier have access to My Taste.
Is v5.5 available on mobile?
Yes. v5.5 is available through the Suno iOS and Android apps as well as the web app. v5.5 is available on Suno's web product, and Suno also offers iOS and Android apps. Feature availability on mobile follows the same plan restrictions as on web; verify current mobile feature coverage at suno.com before building mobile-dependent workflows.
How many Custom Models can I create?
Pro and Premier subscribers can create up to three custom models each. Each model is trained on music you upload and reflects the stylistic characteristics of those tracks. You can maintain multiple models for different creative personas or project types.
