Helen's sultry tones of steel and silk make her one of the UK's most versatile and original singers of today. She's pleased to announce that she's never done drugs or been in rehab! Despite that, she's had some close encounters with living on the edge, getting through it just like you, and she's here to tell you all about it in her songs.

Accompanying herself on the keys, she is busy performing with her band Threadlines and recording for her new album. Listen to some tracks in the Media section.
