From childhood, the future star was fond of music. She especially enjoyed listening to opera.

Helena Yousefsson: biography

Helena was born in 1978 on March 23 in the city of Kalmar in the southeast of Sweden. When she was only 3 years old, she began to dance, and at the age of 7, her mother took her to classes in choral singing.

The girl's hobbies were partly influenced by the fact that her maternal grandmother owned a music goods store. And grandfather (also on the maternal side), being an artist (born in 1917), knew how to play the violin.

The girl's mother has Belgian and Swedish roots.

Helena's father was born in a small village surrounded by forests called Virserum (in eastern Sweden). In connection with his insane love for nature, he raised his daughter in the same spirit. Therefore, in her songs, the singer(ex. Spider web suit) often has a certain connection with nature and sings about love for it.

Unfortunately, Helena's parents divorced when she was 7 years old (in 1985). Her mother soon remarried, and a couple of years later the new family moved to the Swedish village of Björnsturp (Skåne province).

Helena Yousefsson in her childhood (according to her stories) often listened with her sisters to S. Prokofiev's opera "Peter and the Wolf", performed by Ernst-Hugo Yeregaard. What pleased Helena about this work was that it was possible to sing it at the top of her voice, which she did when returning home on a bicycle.

In 2001, Helena and her boyfriend Martinique during a vacation with friends on about. Crete had the idea of creating a new musical group. The team was named Sandy Mouche. This name came to mind due to the fact that all friends had freckles on their faces, and at that moment they sculpted Easter cakes from beach sand.

The famous musician K. Lundqvist became the producer of the group. He suggested that the singer record a solo album already in 2003 with Per Gessle (Marazin), where she sang backing vocals. In the same year, Martinique and Helena got married.
