Hooked Like Helen | On Our Radar

In a house in the woods on the outskirts of Sandusky, Hooked Like Helen began as the alternative rock brainstorms of Nikki and Jon Stipp. Shortly after relocating from Los Angeles to rural Ohio, and inheriting a small home studio from Jon’s deceased uncle, the duo became sought after by music supervisors for E!, MTV, and Netflix among others. Hooked Like Helen’s powerfully heartfelt piano ballad, “Liar” quite literally inspired the script for the motion picture High Strung: Free Dance (Jane Seymour), and is featured in a poignant scene in the film with a dance sequence choreographed by Tyce Diorio.

Blanket Approval | On Our Radar

“Music has always been a friend that I could talk to when i felt lonesome, a narcotic alternate reality I could turn to when the drudgery of routine and process has worn me down. I want to leave behind something interesting like that for other people, a friend that people can talk to”
