Scott Helman:
Kinda Complicated Music Video - https://youtu.be/
To paraphrase Thomas Edison, success is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Perhaps no working songwriter knows this better than Scott Helman. Since impressing the music world with his debut Augusta EP in 2014, Helman has poured his heart and spilled his sweat on stages across the world: wowing both unsuspecting audiences and adoring fans, whether alone with his guitar or alongside his band of musical brothers.
Much of the wisdom gleaned from that blood, sweat and tears can be heard on Helman’s debut long player, Hôtel de Ville, which he enthusiastically describes as “the next step” in his burgeoning career. And from the first listen on, there’s little doubt of what he means.
At just 21, Helman’s come a long way from the talented 15-year-old that blew away executives in a Warner Music Canada board room. Just four years later, Helman had his first platinum certified single with “Bungalow.” Since then, he’s earned two Juno nominations, toured the U.S. and Europe with Walk Off The Earth and performed to massive TV audiences at the 2015 MMVAs and 2016 Juno awards.

She was selected to tour with Melissa Ferrick, opening for 17 dates in the US and in Canada Ferrick is a Boston-based singer-songwriter with two decades of experience and a rapid fan base. From Massachusetts to New York and Nashville, they made one stop in Toronto at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern for the only Canadian date. Back in Halifax, Ria performed a sold-out CD release show and debuted the music video for her first single, the title track, "Under Your Skin."
Ria has been working with Juno award winner Classified on her second album. In 2012 they released a single, Leaving Today, which was nominated for an ECMA in 2013 for Song of the Year and debuted at Top 40 radio stations across the country.
