She booked gigs before she even knew how to DJ  then taught herself fast enough to survive them.

In this episode, Helena Ellis reveals how she went from being a young mum with no music-industry connections to touring with Nelly, headlining Sydney clubs and becoming one of the city’s standout female DJs.
