“Helga Ameye” is an extension of the personality of composer and front singer Helga Ameye. “Don’t be afraid to touch and be touched” is the intention she conveys musically with her band: Wodan Onkelinx (keys), Stanzi Cresens (cello, vocals), Tuur Geldhof (bass), and Thibault Goudket (drums, vocals).

She seeks out colors that can clash and are created primarily by thin layers of paint applied one over the other. This layering manifests itself in an electronic indie pop sound with palpable emotional depth.

The music sounds intimate and exhilarating, a constant tension between wanting to hide and yet wanting to be seen, a bumpy road to self-acceptance, and a drive to preserve her sense of wonder. She draws inspiration from artists such as Radiohead, Tsar B, Tamino, James Blake, and Pitou.
