Originally from Yorkshire in the UK, Helen Dickinson can teach most of us a thing or two about never giving up on our dreams.
At the age of 42, she taught herself to mix on vinyl and began uploading mixes to the internet which are listened to by thousands of people across the world. Deciding that playing music was what she wanted to do professionally, Helen started to seek opportunities to play but found it difficult to break through in the UK. In 2016, she visited Ibiza for the first time and by 2018 had made it her permanent home.
Now resident DJ at Savannah on Ibiza's famous sunset strip, Helen also holds residencies with global brands Hed Kandi and Love to Be, and has played at some of house music's most famous venues such as Eden and Es Paradis. She has also created her own club brand, 'Sweetcheeks' which brings together San Antonio's best-loved resident DJs, playing the music she loves the most - vocal house.
Helen has now moved into music production after graduating from the Toolroom Academy. Her first release in 2020 was a remix for none other than house legend, Eddie Amador.
