I present a EP titled “I’m Here” containing three tracks of contrasting anguish and determination. The songs start with a happening, then a thought, the music comes along with the words as I hear the production take its shape. The last step of the journey is to a friend and musical genius in the North of Sweden by the name of Erik Berglund, he takes the landscape I have created and adds the professional/technical touch to complete the songs.

About the individual tracks…
Next To You:
Caught in an inner turmoil. Confused and angry, trying to come to come to terms with the fear behind uncertainty.
“I’m nobody’s fool, still want to wake up next to you”

I’m Here:
Being pushed to the edge by insecurities. Leaving you with no choice but to become and be what's expects. 
“Look at you, look at what you made me do”

What You’re Made Of:
Finding the ability to see the overwhelming potential in being just the person you are: Limitless. 
“Finding the godly strength to break bones”

I'm Here

This Swede has spent most of her childhood and teen years traveling the world, living in a variety of places (Sri Lanka, South Africa, Laos, US). During those developing years Helga discovered the power of expressing herself through art and music, finding inspiration in her idols (David Bowie, Frida Kahlo). Struggling with insecurities, anxiety, and rootlessness, finding a way to express herself became the foundation for staying sane when feeling troubled. Tattooed on the right side of Helgas ribs sits a quote from one of her favorite songs “All the knives seem to lacerate your brain, I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain, you're not alone” ~ David Bowie ~ Rock `n´Roll Suicide. 


Helgas music just like her art gives an insider look into this creators life. Holding a lot of complexity and stirring up emotions for the listener/viewer, but this of course is purposefully done. Helga thrives on the idea that anything you make must come from an honest place since this is the only way what we make can hold the power to change someone, only in an instant or maybe permanently.


Currently the songwriter/singer/producer lives in Stockholm, Sweden. This is where she conjures up new material and sounds.
