Born to Swedish parents in Zurich, Switzerland, Nashville-based songwriter Helena Hallberg’s background is as distinct as her musical style.

Using elements from Folk, Jazz and current musical trends, she seeks connection with her listener through stories centered around mental health, female empowerment and multiculturalism.
Originally a trained jazz vocalist, Hallberg soon found her love for American folk music and instruments based in the tradition. Rarely seen without her Appalachian dulcimer Henrietta, she brings the instrument into the 21st century by weaving her catchy melodies into the musical fabric of her songs.
Winner of the 2020 Indie International Songwriting contest and 2025 Kerville New Folk Finalist, Hallberg’s writing has proved itself as unmistakably universal.
