Elle Sherlock is a Dark-Pop artist with industrial, trip-hop and jazz influences, who uses her fresh writing and striking vocal range to push the boundaries of genre. With roots in the Canadian North, Elle brings a perspective that is truly unique; the ability to reveal the beauty in all things dark and twisted, make the quaint grand, and the unsaid said.
After beginning piano lessons as a teen, Elle quickly became an award winning youth classical pianist. Naturally creative, she immediately began reinventing her classical piano pieces and was lucky enough to have a teacher who encouraged this. Elle later taught herself to play guitar and sing and has gone on to be a multi-scholarship winner as a classical pianist while pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
Currently, Elle is thrilled to be preparing the release of her first solo album, which was recorded at a unique studio in rural Quebec, known for its cinematic production style. The album, featuring the single, Surface, continues her push into genre-bending and boundary-defying songwriting and vocal performances.
Elle’s latest single, Hope Hid Away, was commissioned by the Ottawa Cancer Foundation as the theme song to their 30th anniversary campaign. This passionate account of one of the most difficult moments in life serves as the soundtrack to promotional media throughout the campaign, which has also featured live performances by Elle, including at the 2025 Aurora Gala, where she opened for The Strumbellas.
