Helga Ameye expands her artistic identity as composer and lead singer through her band. Her message, "to feel deeply and not be afraid to touch and be touched” — runs through every layer of her work with her band. Wodan Onkelinx (keyboards), Stanzi Cresens (cello, vocals), Tuur Geldhof (bass) and Thibault Goudket (drums, vocals). 

Helga Ameye’s sound is enriched by the authentic contributions of each the band members. Her sonic palette is like layered, clashing colours— delicate, overlapping textures of sound. This complexity is an electronic indie-pop sound marked by emotional depth and subtle complexity. To tell her story, she draws on her jazz background, weaving repetition, modality, and harmonic nuance into her songwriting. Inspired by artists such as Radiohead, Tsar B, Tamino, James Blake and Pitou.

This concert is presented in collaboration with Gent Jazz and the Jazz, Pop and Music Production programmes at KASK & Conservatorium (HOGENT - Howest) and Gent Jazz.
