Whether it’s playing Glastonbury,
developing her own hair accessories
brand, or curating a club night, there’s
no knowing what Siobhan Bell might
throw into the mix next. The London-
based DJ is a multi-talented creative
and she’s rapidly making herself one
of the most diverse players in the
game. “I’m always open to doing more
stuff. Once I’ve achieved something
I’m always thinking about what’s the
next thing I can do” she told NOTION.
Bell’s mixes infuse RnB, trap and
grime, which she blends together with
cleverly executed transitions, offering
an element of surprise with regards to
which bouncy beat she’ll mix in next.
In a musical landscape dominated
by DJs that’ll mix house and EDM, it’s
refreshing to hear someone that is so
expertly representing trap, grime, RnB
and hip-hop. While her mixes feature
tracks from powerhouses Drake and Frank
Ocean, she’s not afraid to include some
underground newcomers, and she often
travels to America and Asia to ensure
she’s picking up the freshest sounds.
Before making these frequent
transatlantic trips and posting Insta
pics with the likes of Drake and A$AP
Rocky, Bell ditched her law school
education to intern at music labels
including Cash Money and Atlantic
Records. These days, she’s gone from
intern to in-demand with her own
residency at cooler than cool NTS Radio
and spinning disks for major fashion
houses including Moschino and Calvin
Klein. She’s even curated her own club
night ‘Cherryade’, and has recently
expanded the brand into a line of
dip-dye hair extensions, offering up
a perfect palette of striking shades.
Despite her plethora of ventures
and projects already underway, Bell
is now working on producing her own
tracks. She doesn’t rule out releasing
an album too, adding “I’d want to have
loads of people [on the album], loads of
creatives and up-and-coming producers.”
With her current track record, and a
mind full of new ideas, Siobhan Bell
is a name to take note of and her mixes
will be the soundtrack to our summer.
