Biography
Helen is a Composer, Music Designer, Educator, and Council member of The Ivors Academy.
Helen currently sits on both the Northern Ireland/ Republic of Ireland Council and the Media Council within The Ivors Academy and is a proud member of both The Screen Composers Guild of Ireland, and BAFTA. In 2020, Helen was appointed as a Mentor for The Ivors Academy ‘Music Creators Mentoring Programme’ to educate musicians and composers at the beginning of their career. She also enjoys audio mentoring for Game Jams and is actively involved in IMIRT (The Irish Game Makers Association). Helen’s diverse experience in different areas of the Music Industry has informed her ability to work within many different genres of film.
In 2020, Helen wrote a score for a short film entitled Night Swimming, which was selected for the Montréal Independent Film Festival and also selected and nominated for awards at Los Angeles International Film Festival, Waterford Film Festival, Indie X Film Festival, and more.
In 2021, she scored a feature directed by Lee-Loi Chieng, Meeting His Parents, which was screened at film festivals, including but not limited to, The Rhode Island International Film Festival, where it won the 'Alternative Spirit Award'. In late 2022, the film was screened for the first time in Ireland at Cork Film Festival.
In summer 2022, Helen scored a video game for Altered Gene, entitled Mash-Quito, on behalf of U2/ Bono's charity ONE(dot)org. This game was created to raise awareness against the dangers of malaria.
In 2023, Helen joined the music team for Neill Blomkamp's film adaptation for Gran Turismo by contributing additional sonic sound and music design to the film's composed soundtrack.
Most of Helen’s experiences from a performance perspective are rooted in performing in orchestras; she has performed as part of various orchestras for classical crossover artists such as Katherine Jenkins, Il Divo and Jose Carreras and under the baton of conductors such as Neil Thomson, Anthony Inglis and Lev Parikian.
In addition to her professional qualifications, Helen was awarded a bursary from The Arts Council of Ireland in 2019 to study Film Music composition amongst Hollywood professionals in Bulgaria.
