In the artist's words:

As "VANDALISBIN" (Vandalism + Lesbian), she writes songs programmatically in the field of tension between queer sexuality, love, violence and self-empowerment. They impressively reflect the trials and tribulations of her young life, like a lucid shadow play in the cleaning light of an unknown club. Raw and oppressively beautiful poetry, inspired by contemporary rap and timeless classics such as Hildegard Knef, Nina Simone and Rio Reiser.

Performed in her unmistakable voice, which sounds as if Helena has the soul of a 50-year-old bouncer in her throat: she unerringly delivers poetic images and hooks, punchlines in the truest sense of the word. She delicately balances her diverse influences from Eryka Badu, Nirvana, Bilderbuch and Isolation Berlin to create a spiky neo-soul, with a blues note in the performance and plenty of wit between the lines. Whether on piano, guitar, bass or drums: the 23-year-old writes her observations from her soul in a way that mesmerizes. Perhaps also because as a human being you instinctively recognize when experiences are shared and not just made up stories. "Based on a true story" is the working title of her first album.
