Hellen

Mindy DuPonte is a consummate performer who began playing before live audiences at age fourteen. In her HELLEN role as lead vocalist, lyricist, arranger, and drummer, she has been identified by DRUMHEAD magazine as a “performance polyrhythm." Intuitive skills have led her to a technique that makes her stand out amongst the crowd. A single- bass drum pedal, larger drum shells, and an emphasis on “beat” set the scene for her heavy-hitting style. Mindy’s vocal delivery and simultaneous drumming provide the impact of being two musicians at once! No one sounds like Mindy DuPonte. She is also an accomplished modern dancer and has won several awards for her work in the multi-media arts. Mindy’s awareness of music history and her wide genre-skipping- influence- base provide a template for a distinctive musical personality. Never one to copy, Mindy is truly a unique force in today’s metal/hard rock scene.

After realizing he lacked the finances to be a drummer, Andrew chose to play the bass at age 16 to avoid being like everyone else. As a player, he strives to avoid being in the background, and rather making the bass stand out with it's on individuality among the other instruments. His influences range from classical to death metal with a little bit of everything thrown in. Producing crushing bass lines and utilizing unparalleled energy during performances makes him a powerful addition to any project.
