Details
Shelectro is the new musical project of Charlie B, who is the singer/songwriter, producer and solo performer. Her music fuses electronic, house and pop music.

Her love of dance and electronic music started at a young age, but Charlie’s first formal introduction to music was studying classical music and opera at The Royal Northern College of Music.

In the years following graduating from a Contemporary Music Degree Charlie went on to DJ in many venues in and around Manchester and was a resident DJ at ‘Breakout’ a long standing LGBT club night at MMU. She also played live gigs in an electro pop outfit, Random Pam and supported the likes of the Ting Tings.

She started working as a Youth Worker, running music and DJ sessions and running Stockport Music Project from Moolah Rouge recording studio, where she met lots of Manchester-based musicians and met and recorded with Badly Drawn Boy. She also went on to be employed for several years as a Music Industry Contact Adviser on the national New Deal for Musicians course.

Now living in Lancaster, more recently she has turned her hand to producing dance and electronic music, mainly during the recent Covid 19 lockdowns. This time presented her with an opportunity to develop her music production skills using Logic Pro X software and to complete the tracks which make up her first EP, the aptly titled “If Not Now, Then When?”

The lyrics are questioning, rather than “preachy” because she aims for her songs to be danced to, while at the same time meaning something more that the usual ‘love story’ lyrics that dance and popular music often focuses on. She has also provided a brief insight into her experiences as a lesbian and a female musician both as she was growing up and now she is older, and hopefully a little wiser too!?

In 2022 as Shelectro, she will be releasing a single, Human Sunshine and then the EP and will be promoting these and playing live gigs and local festivals.
