2013 | Children's Album of the Year | Helen Austin | | The JUNO Awards

After years of writing songs while making a living as a musical stand-up comedian, Helen Austin's move to Canada in 2002 was the catalyst for her musical career. Ten years and six albums later, Helen is a prolific songwriter with many TV/movie placements, awards and competition wins under belt, the most recent being a John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize win. Helen brings her quirky humour to her music, as well as the ability to tug at your heartstrings with her more serious songs, and the melodies stay in your head long after you have heard them. Many of the songs on Helen's past albums have appealed to adults and kids alike. Always Be A Unicorn is Helen's first collection of songs written specifically for young children but in a style that won't drive parents crazy.
