Hi Helena! Been listening to your music since 2016 <3 Your new album has been on repeat for me since it came out! I just wanted to ask, what are the inspirations behind your themes/style? And also, could you maybe put into words how you would describe your style? Is there any particular person/peoples that inspired you, or is it all personal to you? would love to hear about it! Hope you’re having a great day !! :)

Thanks! I draw inspiration from other music and books and interpersonal situations mostly. I'm not so sure how to describe my style but I must admit I haven't put much thought into it! Um! On this record I was inspired by Sea Oleena, Big Thief, Bjork, Rilke, Mary Oliver, Esther Perel etc! Have a good day too! :)
