After years of building a loyal following across entertainment, fashion, nightlife and digital culture, Sheilah Gashumba, aka Lil Stunner, is taking her sound to a new platform with the release of her first-ever YouTube mix.
The release, which premiered on Friday, August 14th on the socialite’s youtube channel, marks a new chapter for Gashumba, whose ‘Stunners Society’ fan community has long asked to experience her musical side digitally, beyond physical performances. The new mix finally answers that call, giving her audience an opportunity to experience her musical taste and energy in a format they can access, replay and share, anywhere.
For Gashumba, the release is about giving her audience something they have been asking for, while creating a platform to express another side of her creativity.
“The Stunners Society has been asking me for a YouTube mix for a while, so this is really me giving them what they have been asking for. Music has always been a big part of my world, and I wanted to create something that people can experience wherever they are, not just when they see me behind the decks. I’m excited to finally share this with them. A big thank you to Don Julio for moving this journey with me,” said Gashumba.
The mix is being released in partnership with Don Julio 1942 tequila, a brand Gashumba represents as an ambassador. The collaboration brings together her passion for music and her partnership with the luxury tequila brand, creating a moment centered on passion, self-expression, creativity and following what you love.
“Don Julio has a mantra- ‘Por Amor,’ which is Spanish for “for love” or “out of love.” This mantra is big for us as a brand, because it’s a clear illustrator that we stand for one doing things for the love of them, passion, or by simply following one’s heart. We believe in people who have the courage to follow what they are passionate about, and turn that passion into something others can experience and share. Sheilah’s first YouTube mix is a reflection of that spirit taking something she loves and giving it a new platform and a new audience. We are proud to support her as she continues to explore her creativity and create moments that are truly hers,” said Judie Nandekya, Senior Brand Manager Tequila and Rum East Africa.
For the Stunners Society, and all Gashumba fans, the release is something they have been looking forward to, and they now have something to chew on from their favorite Dj. The first-ever Sheilah Gashumba x Don Julio YouTube mix is a curation of 3 step, Amapiano, and Afro House. It can be accessed via the platform on
