about
Helen started singing age three, the piano age six and the guitar age 8. Having come from a family where music was actively encouraged, her mother played the piano and her father had a strong singing voice and also dabbled with the guitar and they all sang around the tree every Christmas (and still do) she started to compose her own songs around the age of ten. Helen formed her first band at twelve doing solo performances on tour in Europe from fourteen with the King Henry VIII School, Coventry, choir. She even appeared one Christmas on Midlands Today singing a Christmas Carol with her father, which they had written together to an old Elvis tune. On leaving school, she wrote and co-produced her first single in Aid of Meningitus Research, forming the band, 'Order our of Kaos' as a front for the project and as a tribute to her best friend (Kate Stanley) who had just died of the disease. Selling a limited edition of a thousand copies they raised money for the local hospital which had looked after Kate. Helen recorded the single with producer and songwriter Charles Norman from L.A., who she had met whilst singing on tour with his brother Larry Norman around Europe. Helen collaborated in various co-writing projects with Charles including a rock n roll project in L.A. with Dizzy from Guns n Roses and singing on the first Merchants of Venus album in Oslo, Norway., but decided she wasn't really cut out to be a rock chick and stuck to her plan of going to University to read Theo
