Biography

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Deland spent the first years of her life in Summerland, British Columbia before moving to in Quebec City where she grew up. Deland currently lives in Montreal. Her native languages are French and English; however, she primarily writes and sings in English.[3] She began playing piano and guitar as a child and started singing when she moved to Montreal.[4] Deland's inspirations are diverse,[5] including Jessica Pratt, Joni Mitchell, and Sea Oleena.

Deland's musical upbringing is partially rooted in her Québécois heritage, particularly on her father's side. Family gatherings were characterized by the performance of traditional call-and-response songs, reflective of old Québécois customs. In addition to these cultural expressions, Deland's familial musical environment also featured a love for The Beatles, showcasing the influence of the late '60s and '70s on her musical tastes.[6]

Deland studied literature at the Université du Québec à Montréal, an experience that significantly influenced her approach to songwriting [7]

Deland is featured on "Free the Frail", a song from JPEGMafia's third studio album All My Heroes Are Cornballs.

Her 2020 album Someone New was longlisted for the 2021 Polaris Music Prize,[8] and was a Felix Award nominee for Anglophone Album of the Year at the 43rd Félix Awards.[9]

In 2021, she formed the electronic act Hildegard with Canadian producer Ouri. Their eponymous debut album, recorded over eight days, was released June 4, 2021.[10]

In 2022, Deland toured Europe with Andy Shauf and Leith Ross.[11]

Deland released her second solo album, Goodnight Summerland, on 13 October 2023, under the Chivi Chivi label.[12] Intentionally steering "Goodnight Summerland" towards a more acoustic direction, Deland collaborated with New York-based singer-songwriter Sam Evian, known for his work with artists such as Cass McCombs and Big Thief."

In an interview, Deland shared the emotional journey encapsulated in "Goodnight Summerland." The album stands is a tribute to her late mother, delving into the complexities of grief and the challenges of navigating life after loss.[13]

Discography

Studio albums:

EPs: 2016: Drawing Room Drawing Room is Helena Deland's first EP released on 26 August 2016 under Montreal label Chivi Chivi. Produced by Jesse Mac Cormack, it includes four songs written and composed by Helena.

3."Baby"4:29
4."Drawing Room[16]"4:15
Total length:16:38

This series of four volumes, produced by Jesse Mac Cormack,[20] was meant to be released as a complete album. The songs were so varied in genre that it was decided to release them separately with the objective of gathering songs that were similar in their themes and sounds.[21][22] The singer's inspirations have a common theme: human relationships.[23]

Vol. I & II were released on 2 March and Vol. III & IV were released on 19 October 2018 via Luminelle Recordings and Chivi Chivi.[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]
