Meet Helena Kenyada

My name is Helena Kenyada and I am originally from St. Petersburg, Fl.

I love what I do because it makes me happy. It give me a way to express myself and tell the world stories about myself. Singing is an outlet I use to tell my life stories or just simply escape from the reality around me. It gives people a different perspective on the artist, makes them more relatable to the audience that listens to the artist.

My voice and personality makes me different. Like it’s one thing to be able to sing but to show the world that you are a story teller, you are a normal person that goes through things like everyone else is different. People tend to feel like artists and influencers aren’t people. They only see what is shown on social media and judge them off of what they see. I don’t want them to judge me off pictures and lives. My music is for people that want to express their feelings towards someone or something but don’t know how to say it.

My personality showcases my goofy side like I might come off as stand offish but I promise I'm not. I'm a huge introvert but when I'm comfortable I can be very extroverted around people once I get to know them. I am very much a homebody person so being in a crowd doesn't excite me. I do enjoy connecting with supporters though. It’s fun see how many people loving your music and you just being yourself as a person.

In 5 years I see myself being a household name in the industry. Graduated from college with my psychology degree. That’s a main goal for me. Just living life.I see myself enjoying my accomplishments.

I want to accomplish going back to school for my master’s in psychology to be a therapist at some point in life. Mental health and mental illness are important to me. You never know how someone is doing mentally or what they are battling within themselves so I want to make sure I am a voice for them. I want to make sure they understand and know they'll always have someone to talk to. And have resources for them to get the help they need. Weather is a seeking a therapist or doctors for medications for their disorders. I want to help.

Making sure everyone around me is healthy and successful. Making great music. I bring a different sense of style to the music industry. We have Lizzo, Jasmine, And Ari. But I want everyone to get to know meet Helena. Standing out in the music industry is hard especially as an indie artist because you don’t have the push like mainstream artists do. I have a unique sound that makes me stand out from everyone else. My sound gives off like a raspy and soulful. I most definitely want to be remembered as the one that came in the game and made it her own in a way. I want people to remember me as the woman who reminded people it’s okay to be themselves. It’s okay laugh loud and be happy. It’s okay to be different. Everyone isn’t going to like you, your style, your sound,even how you look it’s just life.

I just want them to remember me as the one that gave them a voice when they couldn’t find their own. The one that spoke a difficult issues and didn’t care how the world looked at her. I’m just here to make an impact on people that believe in me and support me.
