About Heleina Zara

Heleina Zara has been writing music since she was 14 years old, channeling growing pains into songwriting and using music as a coping mechanism. Her first single Alphabet Soup on Island Records Australia, garnered support from playlisting on Spotify’s New Music Friday, Pop n’ Fresh, hits different, Apple Music’s New Music Daily, Superbloom, Breaking Pop, New In Pop and Youtube’s Alt Pop Now.

With a pilot as a father, Heleina Zara moved through countries, climates, and time zones during her upbringing. Music was her constant. Her Dad, a guitar player himself, introduced her to Taylor Swift and she became instantly obsessed with her second record ‘Fearless’.

She approaches her songwriting with an unapologetic boldness, refusing to shy away from expressing exactly how she feels in the moment. No matter the mood, her songwriting allows herself to be carried away in a flood of emotion while still finding a way to connect universally.

Heleina Zara most recently landed a part in the recently released Netflix series Wellmania, staring Celeste Barber, playing the younger version of JJ Fong’s character Amy Kwan.
