Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Music can change the world because it goes directly into your heart. And the vision of Helena is to create music that opens the heart of the listener, a music that puts you in contact with your strongest emotions and deepest yearning.
Because once you're in that place you will find hope and strength, you will know what to do with your life and you will want to do good things.

Fredrik Gille - perc, Olle Linder- bass, Sebastian Notini - perc, Julian Vigil -guitarr, Jimmy Wahlsteen - guitar
