Breaking News: Helena Soars Post-Star Academy with Hit Songs and Solo Tour
One Year Later, Helena Shines Beyond Star Academy
It has been a year since the end of Star Academy, and Helena, one of its most memorable contestants, has achieved remarkable success in the French music scene. From her early days at the Château de Dammarie-lès-Lys to her current status as a chart-topping artist, Helena has come a long way. Despite not winning the tele-hook, she has managed to establish herself as a force to be reckoned with, releasing hit songs like “Bad Boy,” “Summer Body,” and “Loved for Real.”
Detaching from the Star Academy Label
Helena has successfully distanced herself from the Star Academy label, but she has no regrets about her participation. “I had to find an image, I had to be identifiable among the thirteen candidates of Star Academy. I had to be Star Academy, I had to be Helena,” she told TV Mag. Although she is proud of her Star Academy roots, Helena now wants to be recognized for her current work. “My first goal was that we stop calling me ‘Helena from Star Ac’. It had become my new last name for months and it was important to get to become Helena,” she explains.
From Semi-Finalist to Chart-Topping Artist
Helena’s journey from semi-finalist to successful solo artist is a testament to her dedication and talent. After the Star Academy tour, she focused on her solo career, releasing her first album and embarking on a solo tour. She even completed her first Olympia, a significant milestone for any artist. “I still have trouble believing it,” she said on Instagram a few days after her show.
Future Plans and Reflections
Helena does not want to add her family name to her artist name, as she believes it could confuse her audience. “In Star Academy, we were followed for three months with our first name and if, all of a sudden, you put another, people will not understand anything anymore,” she says. Looking ahead, Helena is focused on her music and her growing fan base. She is proud of her Star Academy roots but is determined to be known for her current work. “I will never deny this program because, without my participation, I would have continued my studies to become a speech therapist. I owe my beginnings to this show,” she says.
Helena’s Impact and Legacy
Helena’s success story is an inspiration for aspiring artists and a testament to the power of hard work and dedication. Her journey from Star Academy contestant to chart-topping artist is a reminder that success is possible with the right mindset and determination. As she continues to make her mark on the music industry, Helena’s story serves as a beacon of hope for those pursuing their dreams.
