Helen Holman is a versatile singer with a powerful voice and the ability to cover many different genres.
Based on Sydney’s northern beaches, Helen cannot remember a time when singing and music was not a part of her life.
Through high school she performed in most of the schools many musical productions and formed her first cover band. Post school she has sung her way through life, fronting many cover bands, covering many rock/pop songs and playing many great venues.
Performing on the popular show New Faces with Bert Newton when she was a teenager, Helen was given the encouragement award and placed second in her heat. Helen entered many singing competitions with mixed success.
The pub rock scene in Australia in the 80s was alive and vibrant and Helen performed with many bands during this time, at many of Adelaide’s premier venues.
Since moving to Sydney in the 90s, Helen has been involved in a couple of local cover bands, the most recent being the Northern Beaches band Cover Drive who have performed many gigs up and down the peninsula. Helen has performed at several Market Rock events in the city.
Influences are vast and varied from Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston to Nickelback and Foo Fighters. She is also an enormous fan of 80s Aussie music.

Keff McCulloch has spent most of his life as a musician, engineer, producer and writer - the main theme and incidental music for Sylvester McCoy's years as the BBC TV's Sci-Fi series "Dr Who" and the video score of the film "White Mischief" being two of the projects he worked on.
He spent his formative years in Brighton, UK and most of his evenings and weekends were spent playing in clubs and holiday camps. After working and touring with bands such as 'Pickettywitch', 'The Roaring 80s' and 'Pete Haycock's Climax', the next few years were taken up with session work and writing songs, TV adverts and jingles.
In 1981, he joined a publishing company with it's own recording studio in London, where he taught himself to engineer and produce. He engineered most of the label's output in the 70s / early 80s, including "The Nolan Sisters", Kenny Lynch, "The Tweets" and Russ Abbott's "Atmosphere".
Keff was a record producer for about 10 years, working with the likes of Acker Bilk, Rose Marie, Johnny Logan, G.O.S.H. (Great Ormond Street Charity Record with Boy George, Go West, Dollar etc), The Wilsons, The Troggs and Gerry Marsden.
Having worked solo for many years, he is very excited to be working with Helen, "one of the most powerful voices I have ever had the pleasure of working with!".
