Mini bio

How it started.

Helly grew up in Lahti, Finland, after her Kurdish family sought safety outside their homeland. Music and dance became an outlet during a childhood marked by racism. At 18, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue singing, eventually catching producer Carlos McKinney’s attention.

Finding her voice.

Her debut single Risk It All was released in January 2013. Its 2014 video brought international attention to her mix of pop performance and Kurdish identity. Revolution followed in 2015, with a video filmed near the fighting in northern Iraq and a call for unity.

Beyond the songs.

She played Leila in Batin Ghobadi’s Mardan in 2014. In 2026, Don’t Forget Me brought her work as a director and producer together with her performance as Baran. She also developed HellyLuv Beauty, drawing on her experience on stage, on film sets and in her salon.
