	BRIGITTE HAMEL Lead Vocals, Keyboards, Percussion Brigitte discovered her lust for singing and passion for rock music at an early age …. and never grew out of it. While influenced by Ann Wilson of Heart and Freddie Mercury of Queen, Brigitte remains a heavy metal addict at heart. Her early influences were bands like Motley Crue, Ratt, Iron Maiden and W.A.S.P to name just a few. After working and traveling with a music club during her school years, she soon graduated to the local club scene working with such bands as Jailbait, Dirty Trick, Tremor and Black Cherry. After appearing in the 2001-2002 Canadian Showcase for Model and Talent, Brigitte started receiving call backs from several American agencies. However, after cutting a few demos with friends from Tremor, she decided that her roots were in R&M (Rock and Metal) not R&B (Rhythm and Blues)! She also worked as a karaoke hostess in Ottawa and as a backup singer in a Styx tribute band. But HELIUM is her baby now! Brigitte's favorite albums: Queen at the BBC (1973) Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil (1983) Extreme II - Pornograffitti (1990) Dokken - Under Lock and Key (1985) Saigon Kick - The Lizard (1992) You can contact Brigitte at E-Mail : metal.gem@hotmail.com   Check out her profile on Facebook

	JEAN-PIERRE (JP) LAUZON  Lead Guitar, Background Vocals People who know JP both in the every day life and as a rock musician might find him to have a dual personality. In fact, this guy is very down to earth, but when it comes to playing guitar, he really knows how to fly. Influenced by Jimmy Hendrix, Uriah Heep, Offenbach, Deep Purple and Mahogany Rush, JP has developed his own style. He previously hit the music scene with acts such as: Mindscape, Kactus, Rock & Blues Review. Among all his guitars, JP now favours his green Paul Reed Smith (PRS) blowing through Marshall amps. Bringing his own brand of humour and his 1,001 expressions to entertain us, JP’s hard work and dedication to his music is an inspiration for all. JP's Favorite Albums Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush.... Live (1978) Pink Floyd - Pulse (1995) Deep Purple - Made In Japan (1972) Johnny Winter - Captured Live (1976) Uriah Heep- Live (1973) You can contact JP at E-Mail: jp@heliumlive.com

You got the pedals to set the speed and the steering power in your hands to take the band wherever you want. Flo knows how to use that power to give the band and the crowd a smooth ride. Flo’s experience comes from playing with hard rock acts such as Tremor, Jailbait and many others. His musical influences are also very eloquent of his will to drive fast.
