OUT OF REACH

Helga Arvesten

I was born in Sweden in the year 1993, but since the age of six I have lived overseas in countries such as Sri Lanka, South Africa, Laos, and the US. During those 12 years abroad I expanded my cultural knowledge and developed my artistic perspective. My travels taught me to respect our differences and mature at a very young age. At the age of 16 when I was living in Laos, I decided to take music to the next level so I applied to an arts high school in the US (Idyllwild Arts Academy). After being accepted with a considerable scholarship I moved to the US and studied half a year of general arts, half a year of Classical vocals, and a year of jazz vocals. At this moment I felt that I wanted to return to my home, Sweden. Settled in Sweden in the year 2011, this is when I began to seriously start working on composition and becoming an artist.
