about helena
UK born, Australian bred and now Los Angeles based, HELENA is dominating with her unique sound and is proving to be one of EDM’s most prominent DJs and electronic producers.
With support from Avicii, Hardwell, Tiesto, Nicky Romero and many more, nothing is stopping her. With 4 releases in the last 6 months consisting of “Legend” on Basik/Sony Music, “Breathe” on John Dahlback’s Mutants, “Whattup” on Big&Dirty (with Nilson) and most recently “Levity” on Ultra Music, 2014 is looking like a huge year for HELENA.
Recently announced as a resident at the new super club Drai’s Beachclub and Nightclub in Las Vegas, you can see her play there no less than 15 times before the end of this year.
HELENA also recently launched her own brand called THE REVOLUTION which started in Miami at Mokai during the annual Miami Music Week. The show sold out and shows in LA, Miami and New York are scheduled for 2014.
She’s no stranger to festivals either having played Ultra Music Festival in 2013, Future Music Festival in 2014 and recently announced to be part of Tomorrowland 2014. There is no doubt you will be seeing much more of HELENA in the near future.
