“I have always hoped to do a Nana show. I am crazy about her voice and my sister and I grew up with her music. We really thought that she was a friend of my mom’s, because they looked so much alike,” said Helenè.

“I believe the time is ripe for me to do the show now, as I’m not sure I would have been able to interpret her music so well ten years ago.

“My voice is older and perhaps has a more mature sound, which I believe is favoured by her target audience.

“I studied her music videos to observe how she moved on stage, what she did with her hands and how she addressed an audience. One wants to be as credible as possible.”
