	Helan Abdulla, pka Helly Luv (November 16, 1988) is a recording artist. She is of Kurdish decent and born during the Persian Gulf War in Iran. Helly and her family escaped death from Saddam Hussein’s army, fleeing to Turkey for safety. Homeless and living under a bridge, they begged for money and spent nine months in a Turkey refugee camp. Fortunately, their application to become citizens of Finland was approved, allowing her and her family to be one of the first Kurdish immigrants to live there. Growing up in Finland was not easy for Helly. She was bullied for not looking like everyone else and being from a different culture. Unlike most Finnish children, all of her clothes and toys were either second hand or donated. This type of treatment forced Helly to find an outlet for which she would channel her anger and depression. She took an interest in singing in a neighborhood choir, playing the piano and taking drama classes allowing her to feel more accepted. Dancing became her primary focus and afforded her an opportunity to compete in European Dance Championships and soon signed a five year contract with Finland’s Nike Woman.

Recently, she signed with G2 Music Group to execute a new project for her. Helly’s new album will be produced by Gawain “G2” Bracy II and has a world dance sound to it. Western music mixed with Middle Eastern touch. 

Her first single “Risk It All” was a success and gained her right away international attention from around the world and made Helly Luv known for being a controversial artist who takes risks, she was named "Lion Girl" since she danced in the video with a real lion and showed her fearless dance moves while calling for an independent Kurdistan. With her great success from “Risk It All” Helly also received death threats from radical Islamic groups that wanted to stone her to death, also the Mullah spoke about her openly in mosques for being a bad influence and how her voice should be shut down. But that didn't stop her, “Risk it All” has been viewed more then 4 million times and also broke records as the most viewed music video in the region and making her the first Kurdish international pop star.

November 2014, she created the song “Revolution” in Los Angeles, CA spreading the message of peace, unity and justice. 

Helly Luv worked on the “Revolution” music video for 3 months only 2.5km away from ISIS militants in a small village next to Mosul. Helly has therefore been interviewed by the worlds biggest media outlets as (NBC, CNN, Fox News, Time Magazine, NY Post, Reuters, The Guardian, MTV, etc.) because of her global message and fearless attitude of fighting for peace, "My weapon is not a weapon, my weapon is my music and voice”.
