Helen K

Helena Koursou has been working within the field of music, design and media from an extremely young age. Back in 2000 at the age of 12 she started DJing, which she developed in a more professional way a couple of years later. She took her first music steps through national and international radio show guestings.
In 2003, Andrew K and DJ Leoni hosted a mixed set of Helena's in their "Underground Lessons" show on City International FM 106,1 (Thessalonica). At the same time, she performed Radio Spot and Acapella jingles for Muscle K's "Dance Nation" on 94 FM (Athens) and DJ set guestings on the same show in collaboration with Thecityvibe.com, presenting TheCitySessions. It was a very satisfying step for a 15 years old girl as Helena was by then.
At the end of May 2004, she organized her first Internet Radio Mix Show Residency called Space Ride broadcasted on Eccentricbeats.com and Party107.com alongside Andrew K. It managed reaching a great level of listening stats and featured guests like Anthony Pappa, Superchumbo, Barry Gilbey, Lexicon Avenue, MV, Thomas Penton, Anna Maria X and Christian Cambas among many others. Almost one year after, she represented the Greece2Global - Globalvibe.net radio show on Digitally Imported radio (www.di.fm) next to G.Pal, Mikele, Viton & Jose Zamora.
She also joined hundreds of radio forces worldwide as a guest DJ. Her favourite one was on the Athenian "Best 92.6" where she had a special DJ performance for Anna Maria X's "Smirnoff Experience Weekend Mix" back in May 2005. Her set was the starting-flag of a monthly new-talent DJ set competition.
In the same month, she released her first Mix CD Compilation titled "Dub Till Dawn", at Greece's FREEZE mgzn (Issue #40). The CD was followed by an exclusive interview and due to all the above, she joined the magazine team as a part-time reviewer too. Entering a level of discography, Helena enjoys to write her own vocals, lyrics and music basically for fun, but the result seemed better than expected!
Concerning the media area, it was around the middle of year 2002 when she first worked for E-djs.gr music portal as a Release Editor and from September of 2003 she continued as a Music Content Director at Thecityvibe.com (GlobalVibe.net, Webmedia SA), which she kept as a more part-time thing since February 2006. She has also composed press sheets for Pure Substance records. Apart from all those activities, Helena is mainly a Graphics/Web Designer by profession; she has been running her own Art and Multimedia project called "Plus Designs" since 2002.
In June 2005, she started her first FM radio show on Rodos Radio DJ 106.1 FM (Rhodes), which was broadcasted every Saturday from 23:00 to midnight under the name of "DJ Zone with Helen K". Moving in September 2005 and after the successful ex-Space Ride shows, she launched her second internet radio show titled "Drag N Drop Sessions" on FriskyRadio.com. For what's in her row, definitely time will show...
