A pretty name to go with a gorgeous face, this girl is a Megan Fox look-a-like with the addition of fiery red hair. She was born in the UK and raised in Australia. As a young girl, Helen learned how to play piano and cello, however her current musical prowess lies in a genre of music few females venture to go: the world of EDM. She has garnered international success, spinning at the ULTA music festival in 2013 and blowing up the Vegas clubbing scene.
You can tell Helena enjoys her work and wants everyone to be having a good time. Her red hair flies as she spins tracks and she dances to her own beats the entire set, encouraging everyone in the audience to be as carefree as she is. Take her track “Levity ft. Shawnee Taylor” which is a feel-good song that has everyone pumped up with lyrics like ‘we just want to be free from every tragedy/can’t you feel the levity.’ I feel unstoppable on my evening jog listening to my fave Helena track “Girl From the Sky ft Mr. Wilson.” Helena’s energy is contagious and her music addictive. I can’t wait to hear what track she will drop next.
Funky guitar plus Congo drums plus quirky lyrics equals one of the most fun shows you could possible ever attend, all thanks to the band Deluxe. The collective quirky-ness of each member is a reflected into the music, resulting in a dance your pants off good time.
The stage is setup so that when the show starts; you can’t actually see the stage, just the curtain behind all the instruments. You hear the first notes being played for “My Game,” then a spotlight goes on to focus solely on the funky guitar that starts up the song. Then another spotlight goes on when the Congos start to be played, leading up to the last spotlight for the vocals. As they reach the height right before the chorus the whole stage lights up behind them with red flashing lights. Epic. Amazing that that’s just the beginning of the show. They continue to give high energy, so much so that you feel like the music completely takes over you, and no matter how good or bad, you start to dance and let it flow through you. Their between song conversation with each other and the audience just reinforces how great of a time they have making music together.
