Sherelle Camille Thomas (born 3 September 1993), known mononymously as Sherelle (stylized in all caps), is a British DJ and electronic musician.[3][4][5] With a background in dancehall and rave music, Sherelle is best known for her DJ sets and mixes.[6][7][8] Sherelle is also known for co-founding the label Hooversound with Naina and for founding Beautiful (stylized in all caps), a label and musical project for Black and LGBT musicians.[9][10]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Sherelle was raised in Walthamstow, East London[3] by her mother and sister. She grew up listening to dancehall, R&B and hip hop music, pirated through her family TV.[6] She also grew up playing football and is a fan of Arsenal F.C.[8][11]

She was a presenter on the South London station Reprezent[12] whilst attending Goldsmiths University.[13] She completed radio courses before being given her own specialist slot on the station playing footwork and jungle. She eventually held a slot on BBC Radio 1 as a part of their Radio 1 Residency until 2021. She now has a slot on NTS alongside label co-owner and Apple Music 1's NAINA.[14] Sherelle is openly gay.[6] Sherelle is also vegan. [15]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Sherelle's breakthrough was with her 2019 Boiler Room DJ set, which went viral and allowed her to take up music full-time.[3][6][16] In September 2019, she participated in the BBC Radio 1 residency series, featuring guestmixes and interviews from 4hero, Goldie, and Virgil Abloh.[17][18][19] In 2020, she was recognized by DJ Mag as the year's best British DJ.[20] Sherelle was also recognized as the 2020 BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix winner.[21]

In July 2021, her debut EP, 160 Down the A406, was met with positive reviews, and was acclaimed by Resident Advisor as "one of the year's most exciting production debuts."[22]

In October 2021, Sherelle released her first clothing collection, a collaboration with Boiler Room.[23]

She gained wider recognition with her recorded mix for fabric, fabric presents SHERELLE, released in November 2021.[24] The mix was met with positive reviews, with particular praise for its high level of intensity and genre mixing.[25] Pitchfork described the mix as "compressing decades of dancing to tightly woven two- and three-minute segments" which "catalogs a moment in which a new generation is grasping and reshaping a raving past that's too distant for them to remember."[24]

Until its disbandment in January 2022, Sherelle was a member of the all-female and non-binary DJ group 6 Figure Gang.[26]

From 16 September 2023, SHERELLE started hosting a new weekly show on BBC Radio 6 Music airing on Saturday nights, following the departure of fellow DJ The Blessed Madonna.[27][28]

Style

[edit | edit source]

Sherelle is known for the 160 beats per minute pacing in her music.[29] She often mixes music released over the course of several decades.[25] Her DJ sets and mixes have been described as Footwork, Hardcore and Jungle.[30]
