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. Eleven years and seven albums later, Helen is a prolific songwriter with many TV/movie placements, awards and competition wins under belt, the most recent being a JUNO Award nomination and John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize win. Helen brings her quirky humour to her music, as well as the ability to tug at your heart strings 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. Colour It is Helen's second collection of songs written specifically for young children but in a style that keep the parents happy too. "Helen's words and notes are real in the way the best moments in life are real, and she is sincere in every phrase without losing one precious moment of quirkiness," says Indie Music Reviewer Magazine.
