SHERELLE’s BEAUTIFUL launches free London studio for Black and queer artists

Applications for the space are now open.

SHERELLE’s BEAUTIFUL has teamed up with the Danish audio brand AIAIA to open a free music production studio.

Based in North London, the studio will provide a community space for Black and queer artists to work and record on professional studio equipment without the associated prohibitive costs.

“In the current climate that we are currently in, many things are getting more expensive, and people need to divert their money elsewhere.” SHERELLE explains. “It’s fantastic to have an initiative like this alongside AIAIAI, which also believes in the same principle of allowing people to create more freely. Hopefully, we can make more of these and do this internationally!”

Check out the studio below.

Founded in 2021 by SHERELLE, BEAUTIFUL is a response to whitewashing and the erasure of Black and queer history in electronic music. The platform has previously collaborated with AIAIA last year on a series of free workshops and an exhibition aimed at lifting up Black and queer voices.

Applications for a space in the studio are now open for Black and queer artists here.
