There are artists you label as experimental, and then there's Elle Shimada - 嶋田会希, whose sound and live show is unlike any other (Culted sounds). Tokyo-raised and Melbourne-based violinist, producer, and vocalist has rapidly gained acclaim for her emotive and genre-defying music and visceral performance experience. Elle has been described as “monstrously creative” (Beat Magazine), a “fearless music maverick” (Fizzy Mag), “ground-breaking” (Tori Dinardo, former programmer, NGV),and as “redefining culture as we know it” (Vogue Magazine). Intertwined with feminism, cultural curiosity, and a political mindset, she utilizes the uniting power of music to cultivate dance-floor-activism that is inclusive, honest, and raw, championing a movement that fosters connection and dialogue.
