Not to be confused with [Scott Holman](/source/Scott_Holman_(disambiguation)).

**Scott Helman** (born October 1, 1995) is a Canadian singer-songwriter from [Toronto](/source/Toronto). He released his debut EP *Augusta* in 2014,[1] followed by *Spotify Sessions* in 2016 and *Hang Ups* in 2018. His album *Hôtel de Ville* was released in 2017 by [Warner Music Canada](/source/Warner_Music_Canada).

## Early life

Born and raised in [Toronto](/source/Toronto), Helman graduated in 2013 from [Earl Haig Secondary School](/source/Earl_Haig_Secondary_School).[2] He says his parents were very supportive of his music career.[3][4] He got a guitar for his 10th birthday, and stated that by the time he was 14 he wanted to be a professional musician. At 15 years old, he signed a development deal with Warner Music Canada,[5] where he began writing sessions with writers such as [Simon Wilcox](/source/Simon_Wilcox) and [Thomas "Tawgs" Salter](/source/Tawgs_Salter).

## Career

In 2014, Helman announced the release of the track "Bungalow" as the first single from his debut EP *Augusta*. He later toured with [Tegan and Sara](/source/Tegan_and_Sara), [Shawn Mendes](/source/Shawn_Mendes), [Walk Off the Earth](/source/Walk_Off_the_Earth), and [Vance Joy](/source/Vance_Joy).

Since the May 2017 release of his full-length album *Hôtel De Ville*, Helman has toured and released the singles “Kinda Complicated,” “Ripple Effect,” and the gold-certified "PDA".

In February 2018, as part of [CBC Music's](/source/CBC_Music) Junos 365 Sessions, Helman performed [the Tragically Hip](/source/The_Tragically_Hip)'s song ["Bobcaygeon"](/source/Bobcaygeon_(song)) as a tribute to [Gord Downie](/source/Gord_Downie).

In mid-2018, Helman was invited to open for Vance Joy's five Canadian tour dates and his European tour. In advance of the European tour, Helman released "Hang Ups," followed by a remix featuring Spanish singer [Blas Cantó](/source/Blas_Cant%C3%B3).

In 2019, Helman toured the [United States](/source/United_States), opening for [Dean Lewis](/source/Dean_Lewis).

In 2020, Helman released his album NonSuch Park with new songs to spark this career. He also talks about his grandfather's inspiration on his album.[6]

In 2021, Helman was a panelist for [Canada Reads](/source/Canada_Reads), an annual "battle of the books" competition, defending *[Two Trees Make a Forest](/source/Two_Trees_Make_a_Forest)* by [Jessica J Lee](/source/Jessica_J._Lee) in a series of debates that took place on [CBC radio](/source/CBC_Radio).[7]

In 2024, Helman formed his own independent label, Fo Fum Records, and released the EP *Augusta 10*, a tenth anniversary celebration release of his 2014 EP. The single "Somewhere Sweet", a long-time fan favourite in concert, featured a music video directed by Ben Knechtel.[8]
