Unveiling the Story Behind My Artist Name

Ever since my childhood, my name has been wrapped in love and precious memories. It’s a tribute to those I hold dear, a connection to the generations that came before me. My official name, Hélène, was a beautiful gift from my parents at birth. But there’s a more intimate, tender version—a nickname that holds deep significance: Lenon.

This nickname comes from my paternal grandfather, lovingly called "Papi Lemonade" because he would offer me a glass of lemonade every time I visited. Through these simple, affectionate gestures, he left me something far more precious: the name Lenon. Few people used it, but every time I heard it, I felt the love he had for me. It’s in his honor that I proudly use this name as my artist signature.

And the "B"? That’s just the first letter of my last name, tying my personal and artistic identity even closer together.

So, the mystery is revealed! This simple name, filled with emotion and memories, now serves as a gateway to my creative world. Do you have any cherished nicknames filled with love or memories? I’d love to hear your thoughts and stories. Leave me a comment and share what resonates with you!
