Shermanology is not just a duo; it’s a vibrant confluence of family, legacy, and a shared musical vision. Formed in 2009, the sibling pair of Andy and Dorothy Sherman brings together their Dutch roots and Curaçao heritage to forge a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Growing up surrounded by music, with a father who was a notable singer in the 70s and 80s, they were instilled with a passion for rhythms and melodies from an early age. Andy recalls the hum of their dad’s Atari, a simple backyard soundtrack that guided them through their teenage years making music together, often with friends who were budding dancehall DJs.

Their breakthrough came with the independent release of “Boyz N Da Club,” dubbed the ‘Hottest Record in the World’ by BBC Radio One’s Annie Mac. It seems a divine twist that this occurred just as they were hitting their stride, evidenced by their staggering 250 million Spotify streams. They’ve played before enthusiastic crowds around the globe, but there’s something more intimate about the energy of the Italian audience that resonated with them, a night at the Galactica festival still vividly alive in their shared memories.

Shermanology’s music is a blend of diverse genres and influences, capturing the essence of old-school house while infusing it with Caribbean spirit and contemporary flair. Yet, amid their eclectic array of styles, they remain cautious and reflective about the complexity of their artistic journey, often acknowledging the challenges of navigating the fast-paced electronic scene.

With future collaborations on the horizon, including an intriguing project with Boyz II Men, the Shermans are keen on continuing their exploration through sound. They’re not merely performers; they’re curators of a unique cultural experience, pushing expectations of what electronic music can embody. As they prepare for a busy year ahead, the pulse of Shermanology beats steadily, a family affair that invites listeners to dance beneath the spectrum of their vibrant energy.
