Helen Leahey, known by the press as the ‘Bass Queen’ and ‘Dark Voice of Folk’ was awarded the first Guinness World Record for ‘Lowest Vocal Note by a Female’ in 2018. Helen is a passionate musician and voice over artist who has gained significant international interest for her unique, powerful and deep voice.
Helen was born in Wales to an Irish Liverpudlian father (folk musician, academic and electrician) and a German mother (author, academic and headmistress) who devoted her doctorate to Celtic mythology. Helen had a homeley upringing in North Wales. After her father sadly passed away in 1999 everything changed. Mother and daughter lived in the United Arab Emirates for a time. The sunshine (albeit in the desert) was needed. Helen eventually went to Liverpool to study a ‘Bachelor in History, Archaeology and Irish Studies’ and to enjoy her roots, especially through playing traditional celtic music in Liverpool’s many Irish pubs. Thereafter she completed her ‘Master in International Journalism’ in Falmouth.
Helen spent a big part of her time teaching refugees in Germany. Helen also learnt to celebrate the depth (in range from high to low) in her voice and in her experiences by making her own music. She found her home in Germany and is devoted to her son and family, as well as her art. Music has been a means of expression for Helen’s whole life, however in 2017 she took her passion to the next step. This is when she had her first TV appearences. The songs by Helen you can hear mirror the many aspects of her life journey so far.
