Helen Sventitsky is a singer, a songwriter, a poet and an occasional actress. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Helen started singing and writing songs, stories and poetry at a young age. However, she kept her aspirations as a singer/songwriter to herself until several years ago, when she started experimenting with composing music electronically. Helen's music has been featured on such sites as Besonic.com, MP3.com, Artislaunch.com, and most recently, on IC-Musicmedia.com, where her song, the "Ballad of Phoolan Devi" was featured as Song of the Day. Her voice and songs have been favorably compared to such diverse performers as Sarah MacLachlan, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Kate Bush and Bjork. An award winning poet, Helen has been published by magazines and promoted by organizations such as Screamin' MP3, Minotaur, Baker Street Irregular, and by the Chapparell Poets Society of Northern California. Her website features some of her latest work and she will be releasing an e-book of her poetry next year for sale at Lulu.com. Helen is currently establishing herself as a gigging singer/songwriter in the Southwestern area of the United States, and is eager to participate in collaborations with other songwriters, either via music composition or via lyrical content. Her EP, "Field Recordings and Free Readings", featuring the songs "It Got You Too" and "The Ballad of Phoolan Devi", is currently available for purchase. Her first Full-length CD, Altered Egos, will be released in the summer of next year. Watch for it!
