Rebecca Helen, a singer/songwriter hailing from Cape Town, comes from a lineage of music educators. Her musical journey began at the age of 7 when she clinched her first singing accolade. Subsequently, she delved into piano, honing her skills under the tutelage of the Royal Schools of Music. In 2011, Rebecca Helen co-founded the indie folk ensemble 3Dimensions alongside her sisters Vanessa and Stephanie. Together, they crafted and recorded two EPs, "Secrets of Your Heart" and "Don't Go Running," at the renowned studio of 70s rock icon Duncan Mackay (known for his work with 10CC and Cockney Rebel).

In 2019, Rebecca Helen embarked on a solo venture in music. She collaborated with DJ and Australian producer Mick Evans, as well as Australian musician/songwriter Rebeka Rain and Duncan Mackay, to create "Musical Life," an engaging POP/Dance album.
