Skyelle (real name Erin Mendonca) is an American singer‑songwriter and music producer based in Columbus, Ohio. Within drum and bass/jungle she works primarily across Drum And Bass, Drumstep and Liquid Funk, while her broader output touches Chillstep, Dubstep, Mandopop and Gufeng‑informed electronic music.

She began releasing music as Skyelle in 2014; her first Skyelle release was the single "Sanctuary." Skyelle made a noted label appearance as a featured vocalist on MUZZ's "Calling Out," released on Monstercat on November 18, 2015. On multiple releases and collaborations she is credited as songwriter, performer and producer under the name Erin Lee Mendonca. Official profiles list Columbus as her base and include a contact email on her SoundCloud page.

As a producer and vocalist, Skyelle’s work leans toward vocal‑forward electronic arrangements. Across her listed genres she favors spacious, reverb‑heavy atmospheres and layered lead vocals: breathy upper‑register takes, stacked harmonies and chopped vocal snippets used as melodic motifs. In liquid and chillstep contexts she typically places warm, rounded sub and mid‑bass under shimmering pad beds; in drumstep/dubstep settings she uses half‑time drum placements and LFO‑driven midrange bass texture to add weight without obscuring the vocal topline.

Her drum programming shows a mixed approach that sits between rolling two‑step DnB and syncopated half‑time patterns. Production techniques apparent in her style include tight sidechain compression to keep bass and kick clear, automation of filter cutoff and LFO rate on bass patches for movement, and delay/reverb chains on leads to create depth. Melodically, Skyelle’s tracks incorporate characteristics associated with Mandopop and Gufeng — pentatonic phrasing, ornamented vocal runs and modal turns — folded into electronic song structures rather than traditional pop arrangements.

Concrete career touchstones: the 2014 release "Sanctuary" marks her first Skyelle release, and her Monstercat debut came as featured vocalist on MUZZ's "Calling Out" (November 18, 2015). Credits listed as Erin Lee Mendonca appear on collaborations with Hayve, Bensley, Feint and Bad Computer, indicating roles across songwriting, performance and production on projects that sit between melodic bass and drum & bass spheres. Those collaborations tie her to producers known for polished melodic and liquid sounds while keeping an electronic pop sensibility.

For listeners, Skyelle’s catalogue centers on vocal-led electronic tracks where Mandopop/Gufeng melodic ideas meet liquid and chillstep production techniques. Her SoundCloud profile—listed under Columbus—serves as the primary public hub and includes a contact email for professional inquiries.
