Shinedoe started performing as a dancer at an early age of fifteen. Inspired by her African heritage and influenced by music of the early 1980s, she performed at clubs, on videos and in bands such as Quazar and Warp 9, to name a few.
After performing for four years as a dancer throughout Europe, she decided to stop and focus on other things such as buying electronic music records for personal use, and producing mix tapes for friends. Her music then was a mixture of US garage, Detroit techno and house. As a result of the mix tapes, her first gig was arranged by friends at Club “Ja” in Amsterdam. Then she seriously started mixing music at the age of 19, getting her debut booking in 1995 at the VIP-club in Amsterdam, where she rocked the place and became resident DJ. Also, she was offered a residency position at Club Stalker in Haarlem.
Ever since 1995, she played on all the big festivals, clubs and parties in the Netherlands, from Dance Valley to Awakenings. Bookings also came from various countries such as Germany, Italy, Sweden, China, Bosnia, Israel, Slovenia and Croatia.
From around 1997 until 2000 she played drum ‘n bass under the pseudonym Black Magic Queen to much success. After a while she decided to focus on tech-house and techno only.
Shinedoe spins a variety of funky groove techno sets with tech-house influences. She likes to keep her sets interesting by combining different flows. The crowd adores her because she knows how to rock the place.
In 2001, she started her own night called Inmotion at clubs Paradiso and Amuse in Amsterdam, where she has been inviting quality (inter)national DJs to perform.
Her debut release “Dilemma/Alpha” on 100% Pure Records was played and supported around the globe by the likes of Sven Väth, Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Steve Rachmad and Ricardo Villalobos. She also runs her own label Intacto Records, in collaboration with 100% Pure owner Dylan Hermelijn. This label was launched in September 2004.
Shinedoe released her debut album ‘Sound Travelling’ in September 2006.
