Helppi Smith Pinales Soriano, better known as Helppi Smith, is a Dominican artist, musician, and music producer born on October 5, 1999.

​From an early age, Helppi was raised in the Christian faith, where he also discovered his love for music. He quickly began learning several instruments, becoming a true multi-instrumentalist. By the age of 15, he decided to focus on the electric bass as his main instrument—using the rest as creative tools that would later shape him into a skilled music producer.

Helppi’s creativity and passion have also taken him into the film industry, where he’s worked as a gaffer with Black Letter Films, earning international recognition at festivals such as the Madrid International Film Festival and the Nice International Film Festival. In February 2021, he released his debut album, Ghastly, which was also featured in a short film of the same name.

Over the years, Helppi has had the privilege of collaborating with some of the biggest names in Christian music, including Danny Berrios, Aline Barros, Denicher Pol, Gadiel Espinosa, Rubinsky, and Aura Estrella, among others. He’s also been part of projects in the alternative and popular music scene, working with Grammy winner Chichi Peralta & Son Familia, Pavel Núñez, Covi Quintana, Ire Pelusa, Shadow Blow, Snenie, Letón Pé, SEYE, Diego Jaar, Mark B, Gabriel Pagán, and most recently Alex Ubago, to name a few. Helppi’s journey reflects not only his versatility and dedication to his craft but also his deep passion for creating meaningful art that connects across cultures and genres.
