Helga Arvesten

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.
