Siobhan Bell is an international DJ, producer, and all-out moodboard superstar and fashion paragon. Rooted in East London, she still calls the city home—but her influence spans the globe. From touring as the live DJ for hop hop legends like Megan thee Stallion to collaborating with the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, Bell has left her mark on music and fashion—with unmistakable style and sophistication.
That cool, calm, dripped-out perspective is on display, in the Grand Sessions, a series where Bell and fellow producer Andre Power mix up tracks with a live band. Each producer’s sound is unique, but both resonate with the smooth, sweet cognac-meets orange taste of Grand Marnier and its most summer sippin’ cocktail—the Grand Margarita.
Check out Bell’s working process above, where she creates a beat from punchy violin stabs, thick, club-ready bass, and modern piano sounds, all with the help of a small orchestra.
“Bringing all these sounds together, it just showcases one plus one equaling three,” Bell says.
