Helena de Quiroga González (born December 14, 1964), known as Helen de Quiroga[1] is a Spanish vocalist, studio backing singer, voice actress and musical theatre performer. She is known for her long-standing collaborations with prominent artists on the Spanish music scene, her work in dubbing productions, and her activity in musical theatre.[2] Since 2022, she has been one of the vocalists of the pop duo Baccara.[3]
Helen de Quiroga was born in Málaga, in the Andalusia region. From an early age she showed a strong interest in music and the performing arts, which led her to attend the Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático in Málaga.[4] She received training in drama, stage interpretation and vocal technique, and this education later became the foundation of her career in music and theatre.[2] In 1987, she won the New Talents contest organized by the morning show Por la mañana, presented and directed by Jesús Hermida. As a prize, she became the main singer of the show’s orchestra for many months.[5]
She began her professional work as a supporting singer and studio backing vocalist. Over the years she collaborated with numerous artists across a wide range of musical genres. Her voice can be heard on recordings and in concert projects by Miguel Bosé, Mecano, Alejandro Sanz, La Unión, Duncan Dhu and Luis Eduardo Aute. She also recorded the single "Con las ganas de decirte" with Miguel Bosé, which appeared on his 2012 album Papitwo, released by Warner Music Spain.[6] Her work included both studio sessions and participation in major concert tours, where she performed backing parts as well as occasional solo features.[7] Together with Pedro Andrea, Jacob Sureda, Billy Villegas and Vicente Climent, she formed the band DVersion Quartet,[8] with which she released an album in 2017.[9]
