Latest News, Undiscovered Talent, Unsigned

Press Release: Jill Helena

Pop, with more than a twist of attitude. A spine chilling presence, with a voice to go with it. Outspoken, up front, fun and feisty. Yes these are the ingredients that make up one of the most outstanding new talent to emerge in recent years – Jill Helena.

Jill has been a well-kept secret, but now that the secret is out. Her development as an artist has been nothing short of incredible. However Jill’s talent encompasses many areas.

A few years ago, Jill Helena channeled Christina Aguilera for the Dutch singing competition “In de Huid Van… ” (translation: “In the Skin Of… “). She won’t be imitating anyone ever again.

A born crowd-pleaser, the powerhouse singer has a look, a style and a presence that are entirely her own. And sorry, she’s not into sharing.

She’s won all sorts of talent contests and worked with a Who’s Who of her country’s all-stars. She’s collaborated with international A-listers such as DEEKAY (JLS/Missy Elliot), Elias Kapari (Ashley Tisdale), Bernd Klimpel (Sarah Connor), Charlie Mason (Miley Cyrus), Stefan Almqvist (STEal) and she’s got a secret weapon in her art director, Igor Posavec (3d-io).

But, as she’d be the first to tell you, tongue planted firmly in cheek as she did, “It isn’t about them, now is it? It’s about me!”

And, in fact, it is. Jill didn’t attract her blue-chip team on a lukewarm personality and pleasant voice, she did so with superhuman charisma and pipes to match. “What’s a girl to do?” she asks. “Someone tagged me ‘it,’ and you can be damn sure I’m gonna run with ‘it’!”

Will she make it to the top? If you ask her, she’ll assume it’s a rhetorical question. “I don’t just want to succeed,” she says. “I want to succeed in such a way that, in a couple of years, some wannabe is on a TV show imitating me.

“Maybe,” she adds with a laugh, “I’ll even let Christina Aguilera cover one of my songs! You know, just for the irony… “

“She is certainly no shrinking violet when it comes to proclaiming her prodigious talents as a performer. But this rising Dutch pop star needn’t make any apologies for her brimming self-confidence; the music industry is a notoriously unforgiving place and if you’re not armed with a steely sense of your own worth your ego will be lucky to survive the battering it’ll endure as you make your claim for pop stardom. Of course any boasts not backed up with genuine talent will just come across as delusional, but fortunately Jill is the real deal and just needs to make the right connections and realise her great potential, as her diary reveals.
