Award-winning tenor saxophonist Helena Kay grew up in Perth, Scotland, and moved to London in 2012 to begin studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 2016 with a First Class in BMus Jazz (Hons) and receiving the Anjool Malde Jazz Prize for the highest jazz final recital mark that year. In 2015 she won the Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year, and in 2017 she won the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award which she used to record and release her debut album Moon Palace. She recorded the album with her band Helena Kay?s KIM Trio, featuring David Ingamells on drums and Ferg Ireland on double bass, which was released on Ubuntu Music in December 2018.

Helena is also busy performing with other groups, such as Calum Gourlay Quartet, Issie Barratt?s Interchange, Paul Towndrow?s Keywork Orchestra, EuroRadio Jazz Orchestra 2017, and The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.

?Moon Palace leaves the listener wanting more of Kay?s rich playing? it?s remarkably self-assured and forecasts an imaginative career to come.? Ammar Kalia, Downbeat

?Kay and her trio confirmed both their understated group virtuosity and command of narrative drive.? Mike Hobart, Financial Times
