Helen Gillet is a New Orleans-based singer, songwriter and jazz cellist.
Belgian born but a long-time resident of New Orleans, she’s since flourished into one of the most unique, talented, and beloved artists in the Crescent City. She’s known for her eclectic palette – which includes avant-garde jazz, French chansons, funk, alternative rock, and the bohemian flair of the Velvet Underground.
She's played with Arcade Fire, Kid Koala, Cassandra Wilson, Dr. John and Marianne Faithful. Her original score work to Katrina & Beyond and Living with Water plays above Fats Domino’s wrecked piano as part of a permanent exhibit at the Louisiana State Museum. Helen Gillet is currently featured in the Jazz exhibit at the Old US Mint in New Orleans.
