Three, a magic number, and for music artist Helen King, 3 am is the hour of creation. It’s when her unique melodies and lyrics come to life.
Helen King, a rising star in the music scene, graces the stage at the Finsbury Pub. Her relentless work ethic has earned her a place among the icons in the making.
Over a hundred people gathered at the Finsbury Pub, a popular North London venue, for an intimate gig. The stage was shared with fellow artists: “Dead Rat Society” and “To the Dogs”.
Three – A Magic Number

I wanted to know if any fans made outlandish requests. Suffice to say, that there was.
Helen: “Someone messaged me to say Are you wearing your leather trousers tonight and I said No, I’m wearing my sequin hot pants. They were the first ones through the door at 7 pm.
Your music sounds more confident as an artist. Is that because you’re now with a label or experience kicking in?
Helen: Both, I think – I’ve been performing on stage for a year now, and I have developed a huge amount in that year. Having fans and label support has really boosted my confidence. I’m learning to vibe and connect with the audience, and that is hugely rewarding.
You had a setback with a relationship; did it impact your music in any way?
Helen: The break-up was really a big blow to me. I thought I couldn’t get up again. But I did.
I noticed that you have a lovely, refined accent. Where did that come from?
Helen: “Grammar school girl!”
When are you most creative?
Helen: Nighttime. I often wake up at 3 am precisely with a lyric or tune in my head.
Are you planning to tour?
Helen: The plan is the 2nd album sometime in 2026, then tour throughout the year, including festivals.
