With her self-produced music videos getting over half a million viewers online, she has been earning accolades and acquiring fans from around the world. Her music is now getting regularly licensed in Network TV shows such as '90210', 'One Tree Hill' and 'Ghost Whisperer', along with many MTV shows and ads. 'From hearing her material, I would want to see her live, buy a shirt and become part of her base community. She doesn't need a record label, she just needs to keep building what she's building and they will come..... ' Helen has written music and lyrics for specific occasions such as her song 'Relay', written to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay For Life event, which is now played at Relay events all over the world. From April 2009 Helen wrote, produced and uploaded a new song each week onto her website as a free download. Thirteen of those songs are on her album, 'Song of the Week' which has been nominated for 5 Vancouver Island Music Awards 'Helen has a beautiful distinct voice and that will always open doors for her all on it's own. She reminds me a bit of a female Elliott Smith or Paul Simon' Helen released yet another album on 1st January 2011 and already one of the songs from the album has been placed in the CW's 'One Tree Hill'. 'I wish every artist had your talent, drive and realized vision of who they are artistically. You are the essence of independence vs. a contrived and crumbling conglomerate music business infrastructure.'
