Helen Sarah Rupp (/rʌp/ RUP; born 13 August 1997) (also known as Helle Seiler or Savious) is an English amateur singer-songwriter, musician, composer and comedian. She has released over 160 singles onto the internet via websites such as Reverbnation and SoundCloud, professionally releasing four of her six albums. Currently, she is working on a seventh folk/alternative music album. Helen released her first professional single, Castle, in May 2016 and made her public debut as a composer in March 2017.
Life
Early life
Helen was born in Leicester, Leicestershire.
She taught herself piano and began taking grades aged 10. Her first instrument was Violin, which she has been playing since the age of 6.
From Waterleys Primary School she moved up to Bushloe High School and then on to Guthlaxton College.
2012–2015
In mid-2012, Helen started training in the score writing program Sibelius, and she started prolifically writing classical music.
During the 2013 Sound And Music Summer School, she worked with renowned vocal group Juice, writing a piece called "The Eulogy of a Country Bypass". The piece was based on a Roald Dahl poem and the idea of a busy motorway put into vocal context.
In 2014, her composition style changed, writing more freely and entering an experimental period. She spent most of the school year writing music to enhance her own abilities. This culminated in her second confirmed place at the Sound And Music Summer School.
At the 2014 SAM Summer School, Helen worked with the Purcell School Composition Teacher, Alison Cox, and her group of World Musicians (Anne Denholm, Jordan Black, Joe Chapman and Kuljit Bhamra). Instead of writing a "University worthy" piece of professional music, she took things out of the box, writing a piece of theatrical music called "Lifting Ireland". The piece starts with the harpist being interrupted by an 'audience member' playing the spoons (originally done by clarinetist and composer: Lloyd Coleman) and ending with the clarinetist fainting.
In November the same year, her debut album, 'The Little CD of Optimistic Sadness', was conceived, followed shortly by her unpublished second, 'Sorry What!?!'.
In July 2015, she released the music video for her track 'Lemons', followed by her third album, 'Something Very Witty'. This album marked the end of her persona "Helle Seiler" by whom this, and all previous albums, had been dedicated.
2015 – present
In September 2015, Helen wrote album 'Up the Creek' (the first album released under her real name). She later stated that she doesn't associate the album with her work anymore: "UTC [Up the Creek] has kinda taken it's own life. It was so different to anything else I'd done that [I] didn't feel like I was writing it when I actually was, and I don't feel like I wrote it now...I like to believe that it wrote itself, mainly cause I can't believe that stuff came out of my head" - H.Rupp 2016.
Following this, she comprised her first live set labelled 'Bar Songs for Bar People', which was set to release as an E.P later that year but was dropped.
In 2016, Helen formed an indie record label Storm Turtle Records with which she is currently signed.
Helen is currently studying Music at Middlesex University.
