Originally from the UK, Helen Massey first came to national attention as BBC Radio 2 Choirgirl of the Year, an early recognition that led to performances on television, radio, and in concert halls across the world. She went on to study at the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she was awarded the EMI Scholarship and won both the Peter Pears Duo Prize and the English Song Prize. Further study at the Welsh International Academy of Voice under Dennis O’Neill added to her artistic development.

Her career has since included performances at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and collaborations with orchestras including the Hamburg Symphoniker. She has appeared with ensembles such as The English Concert, and worked alongside distinguished artists including Sir Thomas Allen and Sir David Willcocks. Recordings include Richard Strauss’s Deutsche Motette, Op. 62, with the choirs of King’s College, London, and Caius College, Cambridge, released on the Delphian label.

Known for the warmth and expressive character of her singing, as well as technical discipline, Helen continues to balance her performing career with an active teaching practice in the UK and the Netherlands. Now based in the Netherlands, she is studying with highly celebrated singing teacher, Margreet Honig and developing new artistic collaborations.
