We caught up with AmyElle to discuss her journey into electronic music, her production process, championing gender equality, and what’s driving her creatively.
How did your creative path lead you into electronic music?
AmyElle:
I studied Music & Performing at LIPA, and that’s where I really discovered my love for production. Around that time, highly produced records were dominating the charts, and once I started producing myself, I began hearing music completely differently. I became fascinated by all the individual elements that make a song work.
I was working with producers on my own project, but I could never quite achieve the sound I wanted. Eventually I asked myself, “Why am I not just producing this myself?” That gave me the confidence to switch from performing to production during my final year, and that’s really where everything started.
Have you always worked in electronic music, or do you enjoy exploring other genres too?
AmyElle:
I genuinely love writing every style of music pop, R&B, reggae, classical… pretty much everything. I also write for other artists, and I think experimenting across different genres helps keep you creative. I never want to limit myself.
Your music often blends nostalgic house influences with modern production. Where does that inspiration come from?
AmyElle:
I’m hugely inspired by classic house music and the history behind how the genre evolved. I love those timeless records and wanted my own music to capture some of that feeling while still sounding fresh.
You’ve become an advocate for greater visibility for women in dance music. Why is that so important to you?
AmyElle:
I’m incredibly passionate about encouraging more women to get into production because I know how intimidating it can feel. Electronic music is still a very male-dominated space, and confidence can often be the biggest hurdle.
Representation really matters. The more people see women producing records, DJing festivals and building successful careers, the more they’ll believe it’s possible for themselves. That’s why I love sharing tips, running masterclasses and answering questions whenever I can.
What advice would you give someone wanting to start producing electronic music?
AmyElle:
The biggest thing is to just start.
Choose a DAW whether that’s Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools or something else and spend time learning it. Watch tutorials, take lessons if you can, experiment and don’t expect everything to be perfect straight away.
Most importantly, don’t overthink it. Production is something you learn by doing.
Dance music has historically lacked diversity across many line-ups. What changes would you like to see?
AmyElle:
At the end of the day, talent is talent.
Thankfully the industry is becoming more aware of the need for better representation across festivals, clubs and media. We’re seeing more opportunities for women, Black artists, LGBTQ+ artists and other underrepresented voices, which is a really positive step.
The more diverse representation audiences see, the more naturally that change continues throughout the industry.
What continues to excite you most about your career?
AmyElle:
Playing live is always something I love, and I’m constantly working on new music that I’m excited to share. I always want to keep evolving as a producer, keep writing better records and continue connecting with people through dance music. That’s what motivates me every day.
